Allure of the Seas Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We are very active seniors with 14 previous cruises traveling with three other adults. We particularly enjoyed the variety of activities on the ship including dancing and music at Dazzles, great entertainment, parades and the large walking/jogging track on deck 5.
After reading other reviews, I am amazed how so many people can be on the same ship but have significantly different viewpoints. So we will focus on the highlights of our experience on the ship.
Embarkation/debarkation were efficient and quick as everyone has reported.
Cabin Review
Boardwalk View Stateroom with Balcony
Cabin 11705 Boardwalk Balcony
Great location. Could see the Boardwalk and Aqua Theater easily.
Noise was not a problem. Balcony on the small side, but usable.
Cabin is too small, particularly considering price and location. We could barely get around the end of the bed. One or two more feet in width would have made this cabin more enjoyable. There are only a hand-full of Junior suites on decks 12 & 14 pinned in the corner overlooking Dazzles.
Cabin was well laid out but no drawers under nightstands-terrible oversight. Shelves next to mirror over the desk were too small, almost unusable.
Loved the shower with curved door instead of curtain.
Hated the minimal/oval wash basin. Too small to wash face or shave without splashing water on the floor and person using it.
What design 'genius' thought of putting a glass shelf 9 inches above the wash basin? Couldn't avoid splashing of water and hitting forehead on the shelf when washing my face. Cabin attendant explained only the cabins designed for more than two occupants had such an arrangement. I was constantly looking for a hammer!
