I just returned home yesterday from a 7-night spectacular on the Allure of the Seas. First let me give some pointers before going into my review:

1) If you didn't lock your suitcase for air travel as TSA requires, lock it with a combination lock before leaving it with the ship for delivery to your cabin. My larger suitcase was locked, but not my carry-on which only contained clothes from the night before and odds and ends. No valuables were inside. However, sometime between the time the bag was left at the port and delivered to the cabin, someone had gone into it! How do I know? Someone else's black and red underpants were in the bag!! I'm not making this up. This has happened once before on a Princess cruise only I had a small, standard suitcase lock that had been removed and placed in an outer flap along with a key ring with numerous small lock keys. Obviously unlocked bags and bags with standard suitcase locks are being rifled through before delivery to cabins.

2) You are allowed to bring bottled water/soda on board as long as they have not been previously opened. However space in the refrigerator is limited as it has minibar items inside.

Cabin Review

Boardwalk View Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin B2

Great location overlooking boardwalk and Aqua Theatre (5 cabins from back end of ship). Door seals out almost all noise. However, if Rita's Catina is having a party, you may hear music but all loud noise/events are over no later than midnight.
