We boarded the Allure of the Seas on Feb. 26, 2012. We read alot about the ship, but was surprised and impressed by what we found. Even though the ship is huge, there weren't many lines or crouds. The cabins are pretty much the same as most major cruise ships in this class, but the rest of the ship is just amazing. Food was pretty good. Entertainment was the best we have ever had on any cruise. The different entertainment venues were all very nice and easy to find. This ship has the most up to date electronic systems for finding your way to a specific location. The same electronics advise you about availability in restaurants. From either these touch screen devices throughout the ship, or your cabin TV, life is made very easy and enjoyable. The decor on the ship is beautiful.

Central Park is a very inviting place to eat lunch. The Park Cafe offers great salads, sandwiches, and more. We toured with the Horticulturist in Central Park. He explained the set up and talked about the plants. All plants are real. They are constantly checked to see if they must be replaced or not. They are beautiful, but a little more color would be nice.

The Boardwalk is a very cute place to visit. Everything from an Ice Cream Palor, to a Johnny Rockets, to a Hot Dog Booth are all available there. At the end of the Boardwalk, is the Aqua Theater, which offers wonderful aqua shows throughout the week. The Boardwalk even has those carnival type mirrors that make you look thin or fat. Read more
