We wanted to cruise on Allure because of all the positive things we have heard from other cruisers while on board other RCL cruises. The ship really is a wonder, like the Oasis which we have traveled on. The Allure crew appeared to one up Oasis as it handled the 6,200 passengers on board quite easily. Even the Windjammer didn't have a line to enter.
Fort Lauderdale port stepped up its game - the embarkation and disembarkation process was the smoothest I have ever witnessed. We spent no less than 30 minutes getting on the Ship and no less than 30 minutes getting off. AMAZING! Kudos go to those who made it spectacular.
The Cabin on the 7th Floor Aft was a balcony. Our Stateroom attendant Onelio made the room exceptional. I don't know who Royal does it, but Onelio was impressive. Our room was always clean and had everything we needed. If we asked for ice, extra towels, it was always brought to us quickly with a smile. He made the room that much better. The balcony room was spacious, window were very clean and so was the outside area.
Cabin was excellent - our Room Attendant was OUTSTANDING. Really made the trip better .
