We chose Royal Caribbean due to a family recommendation. In comparison, to other cruise lines, we liked the many activities that RC had to offer. The beauty of the ship, Allure, was all that it promised and then some. The excursion trips enticed us. In all honesty, we only did 2 excursions. The other 2 ports we skipped, enjoying the freedom to relax on the quiet ship when in port.
The ship is amazing! The food is great! So much to do... but if all you want to do is relax, you can do that too!! But the staff, they are the reason we will choose RC in the future. The most professional, dedicated staff we have had the pleasure to meet!!
Very impressive selection of activities for children of various ages. Great vacation for families. Many of the dining areas have selections geared for children, but the food was still fun but nutritious.
Surprisingly, the stateroom did not feel as crowded as expected. The utilization of every space was executed well. Nice size bathroom and shower. Rooms were nicely decorated, always clean. Loved having a balcony with an ocean view.
