PROS

Extremely good service and attentiveness of the staff. Complementary food selections were great. State room was comfortable and very well attended to.

CONS

Felt a lot of motion from a ship that size did not expect this. Shore excursions were brief and time in the pork shop very rushed and uncomfortable. Venturing out in Costa. Maya did locals attempted to fleece us because we were tourists.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

This was our first cruise, and the overall experience was fantastic. There were some minor hitches that occurred during the process however, I’m not sure how much control Royal Caribbean had over them.

The Allure is a great ship in the Royal Line. There is lots to do with good shows. The food was great and the crew is attentive. A little too big for me and lots of kids. The Odyssey is about as big as I want for me. Other than that, great time.

Onboard shopping

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Everything was fantastic! The staff onboard went out of way to be friendly and provide excellent service. There was always plenty of delicious food that fed even our pickiest eaters with ease. The ship was beautiful and very clean. The shows (especially the Aqua Show and Mamma Mia!) were beyond amazing and would be worthy of booking the cruise to see alone! The ports were great and RC helped us immensely by having the excusions booked through the cruiseline which reduced the effort we needed to put in. We were thoroughly pleased with everyone with the exception of wanting to shop more and having limited onboard shopping but that saved us money so no complaints there! We highly recommend the Allure of the Seas!

1st time on mega ship and 1st time on RCCL

OCTOBER

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Great Staff-most food great-(exception was desserts at Marketplace Grill). Specialty venue 150 Central Park was superb! Excellent food and service. Embarkation and debarkation down to a science. I went to all of the shows and they were very good. Mamma Mia was excellent!

CONS

If you don't purchase the drink package, it isn't always easy to find ice water or tea to drink(the complimentary drinks). Complimentary coffee, on the other hand was readily available. On other cruise lines I have been on, the buffet restaurant was always open(not for food)for you to get some water, tea, or lemonade. The door to our balcony evidently didn't seal all the way, because the first couple of nights was pretty windy and the wind howled through it. It wasn't just our stateroom. Others in the Central Park balcony rooms complained of the same thing. Also the showers are very small. If you are a person of size, I can see that this could be a problem.

RECOMMENDED

No

All in all, this was a really fun time. Very educational and Faith was so upbeat and just a great trainer. For such a large ship, most of the time you wouldn't know there are that many people on board.

We were extremely satisfied with our cruise. The only draw backs were the ports of call of st marteen and San Juan. The countries we feel have deteriorated from what they used to be. Labadee was fantastic. We felt very well cared for. The lunch provided was a great experience. A definite stop to get off the ship and enjoy a relaxing day so don’t miss out. Make sure to go to the sandy beach.

SEPTEMBER

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Most of the ship is nice, lots of choices for things to do and great shows and lots of family activities

CONS

Ship seems like it needs so refreshing, also there I got the impression that they need more staff. Wish they didn't change the route from what was listed in the brochure, very disappointed in that

RECOMMENDED

No

There was alot of rain and wind, people were falling and one woman fell and no one from the crew came to check on her and she sat on the floor for at least 10 minutes. The route did not give you enough time to enjoy the islands, You had to rush around to try to enjoy something in the port. In the windjammer cafe they used to have people to help you and bring water and coffee and other things, now it's every man for himself, you want something you'll have to get up and get it yourself.

This ship offered something for every age group. A wonderful time was had by all. The ship never felt crowded with the exception of one day when the passengers were not made aware that a time change had occurred and it caught everyone off guard and scrambling to get breakfast at the same time to make it to their excursions. The size of the ship made it very stable in the water such that the motion of the vessel was nearly undetectable.

PROS

My companion and I enjoyed the cruise. The food, service, and entertainment were excellent. The staff was very accommodating and extremely friendly and responded to all our needs. The ports of call were convenient and interesting to visit.

CONS

The ship was very crowded because of the summer vacation time when children accompanied their parents. There were a total of 6,410 guests (of which 5,492 were double occupancy). The children did not bother us. They were well behaved.

Amazing Ship and Crew

JULY

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Friendly & Helpful crew, Amenities, Things to do

CONS

Lots of people

RECOMMENDED

Yes

We had an amazing cruise vacation on Allure of the Seas. The Eastern Caribbean was a great route. The excursions that were available were awesome. The crew were so helpful and served to your every need. All of the different neighborhoods on the ship were great and each had a little different things that they offered. We saw 2 comedy shows, Mamma Mia the musical, water show, Blue Planet music & dance show. All were great. The only very minor hiccup we encountered was they had timing issues getting the gangways deployed while in Nassau and there was a substantial people backup that happened. However, once they got us moving we were able to get out of the ship and onto our excursions. If you have never gone on a cruise, you need to do it. Amazing vacation with Royal Caribbean and the Allure of the Seas.

<div>This is my second cruise with Royal Caribbean and this trip was even better considering there were so many other things to do. I went on Harmony of the Seas last time and because each ship is slightly different, it was fun to see the changes. I went with family and my significant other and everyone has an absolute blast. Food was incredible. Seas were calm. Entertainment was like watching a Hollywood production. The staff is friendly in every aspect. Excursions were fun with many opportunities to explore the other islands. Weather was hot! Highly recommend!</div>

Family Cruise

JULY

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Variety of things to do for all ages. Numerous dining options. Great service.

CONS

Lack of enforcement of stated policies-guest conduct, saving seats, etc.

RECOMMENDED

No

<div>Cruise was to be a memory builder for all members of the family, 18 in total. Everyone seemed satisfied with cabin accomodations and service provided by cabin stewart. Dinner was well served and enjoyed by all. There were plenty of activities, of various types, for all ages (6 to 17) to try and enjoy. Extras, like drinks, were a bit on the pricey side and seemed watered down. All the evening entertainment was quite good, but not appropriate for all ages. For instance, the Headliner show was boring to most adults and children would have pleaded to leave. One negative for us was having noisey neighbors (teenage girls) next door. Had to complain to Guest Services numerous times before problem was brought under control.</div>

CONS

RECOMMENDED

After being on this boat, we realized we had been doing cruising wrong. The ship does make all the difference. Its so big, we didn't even get a chance to see everything on a 7 day cruise. There were so many options of activities at night we had fun planing each night, some nights we just bounced around. From the shows, to excellent comedy, to themed dance/music, piano bar, jazz club, music in the park, game shows, and karaoke we always were entertained. We visited the piano bar 4 nights, it was so fun and the musician was fantastic!

Too many kids and dogs

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Kids running all over the place, in the adult jacuzzi playing ball??? Dogs in strollers, absurd. It's a beautiful ship but not the place for kids. I know they cater to families, but that will be there downfall. If I wasn't diamone plus, I might go to a "adult" friendly cruise line. Also, 4 hours in one port and 7 in the other. They need to get it together with the ports and how long you spend in them.....figure it out.

Great ship, in spite of 6000+ cruisers it just didn't feel crowded

CONS

Sound level in the showroom was almost painful level at times.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

This cruise was regarded as one of our better cruises to celebrate our 50th wedding. Also had our daughter and her grandson along. We all were able to get into all the shows by a fairly new electronic booking process. We were also able to participate in ship activities that we had planned on. Every one was very satisfied with staff. It seemed that each minor issue we had was resolved quickly. Ate almost all our dining in the Windjammer buffet. Just because the dining room is to slow for us. The food was excellent.

PROS

Excellent dining room servers. This time made French Onion soup correctly.

CONS

Elevators too crowded if you have motorized scooter

RECOMMENDED

Yes

My wife is handicapped and used a motorized scooter. One time it took over 20 minutes to get on elevator b/c of too many inconsiderate people and no nearby phone to call for help. Needless to say we were late for our appointed dining room time (It was dress up night too). I was looking forward to island of St Martin. But b/c of Irma we were diverted to St Kitts. I was really looking forward to that. But again... Then I thought we were going to San Juan. No. Finally Jamaica. Been to Western side 3 times now. Disappointed Yes. Maybe next time, I'll get to go where I haven't been.

PROS

So much to do

CONS

None

Yes

I was curious about a mega ship although I had talked to several people who had been on one. They are fantastic!!! So many smaller venues so that it never seemed crowded and could even fill intimate. Latin band & bar, champagne & martini bar, a pub with music, Starbucks, lots of shops just on one floor. Loved Central Park with lots of trees, bushes, flowers, a bar that floats up & down 3 floors. Also surrounded by 2 steak houses, Italian restaurant, wine & tapas bar with live music in Park . Open to sky. Broadway 2 hr Mama Mia, outside water show. No wait for elevators. Our room was very large, large balcony. Walk in closet with wall of shelves! Can't say enough good things. Really, try it!!' Kids have flight rider, miniature golf, rock wall, Boardwalk with real Carosel, Mexican restaurant, Johnny Rockets, way more stuff.

An Outstanding Cruise

DECEMBER

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Although the ship is huge, we did not feel that we were crowded. There were all sorts of thing to do including the shows like Mama Mia, the Aqua dive show, Blue Planet, and a comedian. The crew was friendly and the service was outstanding!

CONS

The only cons we came across were our shore excursions thru Royal Carribean. We were looking for more historical tours to be informed about the islands and took one at each port. Alot of times it felt as though they were just taking us to places to shop. We were disappointed in both the Paradise Island sighteeing tour in the Bahamas and the Mountain Top & Blackbeards Castle tour. Take time to read the RC reviews on these tours.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Overall we had a wonderful time on the Allure and would go back again. The crew was wonderful and very attentive.

A vacation to remember

OCTOBER

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

The ship was exceptionally well maintained, clean and neatly manicured. Staff throughout the ship were friendly, helpful and delightful. Always something to do on the ship.

CONS

Although there was a great variety of food, the temp of the food was tepid not hot. Allowing pets in the Windjammer (we're not talking about allowing seeing eye dogs in) was deplorable. They were on the chair and table. The owner would pet the dog and, without washing his hands, use his fingers instead of the tongs provided to pick up food off serving bars. Highly unsanitary.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Our Stateroom Stewart was phenomenal, friendly, courteous, respectful and an overall joy. Always a smile and remembered our names from the beginning. Our Stateroom was very spacious with an extreme amount of storage. Captain kept us out of the wrath of Hurricane Matthew even though it meant our ports of call had to be changed. The entire staff throughout the ship were willing to help you even if it didn't pertain to their job; they were very knowledgeable. Shows were well entertaining and fantastic. Couldn't ask for a smoother cruise during hurricane season.

Allure of the Seas review

JUNE

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Beautiful, well appointed ship, lovely Central Park gardens, Solarium area was serene. Should be 21 and older not 16. Promenade was quite colorful, very dramatic, incredible stores.

CONS

Had to make reservations to attend shows, time for dinner; too large a ship. When we were at Labade, we were given conflicting times and reasons why we were not able to use the kayaks as far as payment, time, or availability

RECOMMENDED

Yes

<div>&nbsp;When traveling in a group all should be on the same floor. Missed a lot of togetherness with our family because we were five levels apart. Our steward, Sheldon, and our waiter, Bayyr, were very attentive and most accommodating. Showed interest in our day always. Mama Mia was fabulous, beautiful costumes, very talented cast members. The Monopoly ice skating show was incredible. International professional skaters put on a magnificent show. Unable to secure reservations to Ocean Auria. Too many people on board. The Culinary Chef show was poor and stupid. The Edge Effect was poorly performed. Blue Planet was strange. Had a great massage by Juan or Jose ? Loved the Park Cafe and Solarium for breakfast in quieter areas. Windjammer had incredible food selections. Great staff always there to assist you.</div>

CONS

The Allure is a beautiful ship. There is so much to do on the ship you will never be board. If you want to just relax and do nothing there are so many places to lounge and enjoy the sun, shade or cool breeze. The ship is so large it never felt crowded. Even though there were many people on board the ship It was very easy to get on and off the ship for daily excursions. The ship is very organized.

We had the pleasure of meeting our dinner staff Daniel and Surdeer they were the best. Very professional, courteous, and their customer service was excellent. We also wanted to recognize our bartenders, Maria and Steve on the Boardwalk bar. Their customer service and professionalism is the reason we only went to this bar to get our drinks. They would welcome us with a smile and made our cruise so special. Daniel, Surdeer, Maria and Steve are employees that really need to be recognized and appreciated for their outstanding professionalism, customer service and hard work. They are four of the most awesome, hard working employees and it was a pleasure having met and cruising with them.

Allure #4 - Wonderful

JUNE

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Park Cafe and Ritas Cantina just rock

CONS

Sorry but no complaints, nothing, nada.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Allure was wonderful as always and for the fourth time. Our daughter and her husband had a great time. I re-met several persons from past cruises, such as Carlos from our time on Oasis. Then there was Timia, a server from Budapest, Hungary, and then, of course, Cruise Director, Ken Rush. JUST ANOTHER FANTASTIC RCL CRUISE!!

Limited Itinerary

RECOMMENDED

Just returned from a 7 day Western Caribbean Cruise on Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas. The ship is absolutely fabulous. The entertainment was great and the crew were excellent. This cruise had only 3 ports of call so, if you like to spend most of your time on the ship; this is the cruise for you.

<div>The whole family had a spectacular time. It worked for three generations which contributed to the experience. Everyone had something to do and when we all got together for dinner the experience was enhanced by an excellent wait staff. They were particularly attentive to the needs of children.</div>

PROS

Array of activities is endless.

CONS

Quality of service varies too dramatically.

RECOMMENDED

No

<div>This was our first mega ship cruise. Embarkation was a disaster - it took us 1 hour and 20 minutes from the time we arrived at the pier until we reached our cabin. Passenger handling at ports went smoothly as did disembarkation in Fort Lauderdale. We had taken a dining package and found only one restaurant (Chops) to be worth the expense. Izumi ranked at the bottom. The shows, especially Aqua and Blue Planet, were excellent. The choice of Chicago was questionable given the large number of children on the ship.</div>
