We chose Allure because this was a family cruise with 6 adults and 3 children.
This was the 15th cruise for my wife and I. We have sailed with a variety of cruise lines, including Royal Caribbean.
Pros
Embarkation and disembarkation were smooth and worry free. Had expedited embarkation and it worked.
We had three outside cabins on the 11th deck. Room steward opened up the balcony ...
I received this as a Christmas Gift and it was a wonderful family experience! The best part of the whole cruise was the Club Class Dining Experience! The wait staff was incredible, and the food was out of this world! Lots to do on the ship! The ports were incredible, also! I would cruise with this crew, and ship again! Great experience! The mini suite has a lot of extra room, drawers and ...
This ship is stunning. Plenty to do all the time. Cabin (Inside Bella) is average size, but not a lot of storage. Pack light. Dining is average. Service in the dining room was very good and efficient. Buffet is enormous and can get crowded at times, but overall the food was good and plentiful. Omelet station should be moved to a less awkwardlocation. Current location in in a corner with ...
We sailed on the six-night itinerary to Amber Cove, Grand Turk, and Nassau on December 15 as an early Christmas present to ourselves (side note: at $680 for a suite, it was a steal).
The Magic is a lovely ship—this was our second time cruising on this ship, and I wouldn't hesitate to book a third. I've noticed that other reviews include a lot people complaining that it's run down, but I didn't ...
We did a Caribbean cruise in December as a family with 2 teens. We had previously sailed on Meraviglia on the Mediterranean, and enjoyed the ship, so we chose them again because of the new ship, and the good number of destinations ( 4 stops) on the 7 day cruise our of Miami. Overall we had a great cruise, as the familiarity was great, and we could do things just as we liked. For example we ordered ...
We sailed on the 7 night portion of this cruise that stopped at Princess Cays, Falmouth, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel.
First I want to commend the staff of Regal Princess for the easiest embark / debark experience in all of my 13 cruises. I literally walked right onto the ship at 11:30 a.m. and right off the ship and through customs at 6:30 a.m. No problem making my 10:00 a.m. flight. Please ...
I loved loved loved this cruise. I have been on many cruises and have sailed on most of the mainstream cruise lines – Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Princess, Carnival, Costa, MSC, Celebrity, and other cruise lines as well. The Koningsdam was really a surprise, I have sailed on Holland America Lines (HAL) before and I expected this ship to be similar to the other two HAL ships I previously traveled ...
We truly enjoyed everything about our cruise!
The cruise director was fun and engaging. The activities kept us entertained. The food was tasty and our steward went above and beyond.
The ship was very clean and we constantly saw people picking up and straightening.
The cabin could have been a little bigger but I feel that way about all ships.
There were plenty of food options and the ...
We are regular cruisers, and have sailed on Carnival, Norwegian, Celebrity and RCL. We generally like Carnival, as it has the most in terms of activities and is usually a good price point for the quality- this trip however was VERY different. The staff are trying very hard, but there seems to be changes ( decrease) in quality even since our last sailing last December. It is most noticeable in ...
We picked this cruise mainly because we wanted to give MSC a try and the pictures of this new cruise looked really cool. Also, we were excited to take our 9-year-old son to Ocean Cay which is a new private island that MSC owns. Our cabin was on the smaller size but clean and cozy. Ship looked cool as expected, room service and servers were really good. (These reasons prevented me from giving a ...
