After more than a year of planning our cruise vacation my husband and I were finally able to sail on Royal Caribbean's newest ship, the Allure of the Seas! Here's what we thought about the different aspects of the ship, and our vacation in general.
Embarkation:
We arrived at the cruise terminal at about 11am, and were checked in and onboard the ship by 11:40. To me this is very impressive for two reasons; first of all they weren't actually boarding at the time we had arrived (we had to wait about 20 minutes before they started) and secondly, when they were able to start boarding they were only able to use one of their two entrances due to high winds. I felt that the Allure's boarding process was the most efficient process that I had ever experienced.
Great location! We were steps away from the elevator, central park, and just about everything we needed.
The room size is standard, closet space is limited (had to get creative when unpacking)
