We loved the atmosphere of Allure. Walking around this huge ship is exciting to say the least. Embarking was easy & got luggage qyickly. The staff were very friendly & helpful. Loved ALL the shows; they were Top Notch with many choices of times to see them all, but book them to be sure to get your favorite times especially ice skating. There is always something to do on this ship such as parades, sexy man contest & fun on the boardwalk at night with everyone dancing. Everyone loves everybody on a cruise ship! Even just relaxing at the pool & meeting people from all over is a delight for the friendly! The food was excellent with many healthy options & of course the unhealthy as well. I loved unique salads in Wind Jammer, because I don’t cook. The lobster was delicious on the last formal night & our wait staff was a blast: Turnell & Luy! Not a big fan of the spa except exercise. I had a facial/massage at a special price, but so much pressure to buy products or tip even more than the gratuity already added. The ports were nice. We went with Tri-Sport in St Maarten for kayak/snorkel package. It was a really pleasant experience & Luka from Switzerland was a really friendly guide. The taxi was $15 total to that beach for 2 people. Next We taxied to see the jets land at Maho Beach so have cash for the taxis. A fun experience. Shopping is quite reasonable in town for souvenirs. Puerto Rico has lots of vendors to pay cash otherwise the shops have 11% tax. Still so much damage on these beautiful islands. Labadee was our least favorite because everything cost money except buffet & basic beach. Wear water shoes because it is rocky in ocean. You can’t go out very far in ocean because they rope it off so you pay to do more. The costs are: $65 snorkel, $28 for rollercoaster ride, $139 zip line, $24 for 1 hour on the floatation equipment for kids. Overall, we loved our experience with Royal Caribbean & would definitely sail with them again!
