The overall experience was amazing, the sway of the vessel throws you off a bit being though this was my first cruise
The overall reception was friendly and kind, it seemed authentic.
The dining room in the wind jammer is chaotic but when it's a buffet what do you expect.
The dining hall in the my fair lady was elegant and cozy very friendly staff, accommodating and personable.
The ...
my comments are based on having taken over 30 cruises on multiple cruise lines over the last 40 years.
windows terribly dirty throughout the ship and in our stateroom which affected your enjoyment. we paid extra for large cabin window and could not see out clearly.
need to clean the windows or park the boat.
could not hear announcements on ship so missed activities
music and ...
We chose this cruise as our Honeymoon and we both worked OT and saved for it. Now looking back we were told the wrong thing form the start.
We were expecting a beautiful cabin with wine strawberry's etc, because that is what we had been told as we communicated with RCI over the last few months, what we got was a dirty, weathered room full that was on poor with a low level motel. (see Pictures) ...
We choose this cruise for its Monday through Friday dates that worked with our schedule. I did read the review prior to making plans, so I do agree with most of the previous review in regards to food, and the ship is older. The ship is smaller and outdated of which I hope RCL does pay attention and make plans to revisit their smaller older ships with make-overs. With a smaller ship, you do get ...
Hate to say it, but the crew members agree, RCI has cut back on things so it can keep building new ships. This was our #1 cruise line, but after this last cruise, NCL has topped their service standards now.
Pros: Large ship with lots to do.
Cons: Beds hard as the floor and they no longer provide mattress pads upon request.
No more stocked mini fridges in room
No ...
Overall Cruising on this Behemoth of a ship was great. I do think that Royal needs to improve are Event Calendar Planner that contains all of the online cruise reservations for shows, excursions needs to match the actual times of the cruise. All of mine were wrong all week. I had to go back and reserve shows again while on the ship. I now know that Oasis Class ships dock in Crown Bay while in St. ...
we choose the Allure of the Seas for the Oasisclass suites, and starclass suites. We booked an aquatheatre suite with royal genie. Our royal genie Susan Flannery, arranged everything for us, so we did not have to think about anything and we did not have to wait anywhere, all the restaurants were booked, shows where booked , best seats in the house, excellent!
Boarding and disembarking the ...
I could not escape the noise. There were "Zen" adult coloring sessions with piped in 80's music. Every production seemed designed to blow out the audience's eardrums. If I had thought to bring earplugs with me then I could have avoided the pain. You would think that the Solarium would at least provide some solitude. Nope,
Many small niceties that I enjoyed on my first cruise with RC were ...
We chose this cruise because of the ship and itinerary. This is our second cruise with royal Caribbean and while the ships are great and the entertainment and activities are as well, the service level and cleanliness are average at best if not poor. I’d go back only because it costs less money than Disney Cruise.
Room was very dusty which was an issue when we did the oasis I last year too. The ...
This is an outstanding and really gorgeous ship....It is extremely glamorous with great artistry throughout. They offer a very courteous, well trained and friendly staff. The Allure is ultra clean everywhere you go and kid friendly throughout the ship. You will find a great cross section of age groups as well. The entire ship is safe and secure. They offer loads of activities. I can't imagine ...
