The massive, Oasis-class cruise ship is divided into seven neighborhoods.

In 2019, Allure of the Seas placed a close second to its sister ship, Symphony of the Seas, in Cruiseline.com’s overall Best Ship category. It also took home Cruiseline.com’s Members’ Choice Awards for Best Entertainment and Best Onboard Activities in 2018.

It was a great cruise, with nine days straight at sea, I never got bored as there is a ton of stuff to do on board. - ffmlewis

Everything on the ship was clean and spotless from the cabins, restaurants, to the parks! Everything! The food was good quality, and you have many healthy options for every meal! - leannavite

We had a nice trip and really relaxed, which was what we needed! Specialty dining and the shows were the highlight of the week for us! - Chercruiser

Initially intimidated by the size of the ship. Took a few days to get a general feel of where things were. Always something to do (if you want) or read books on balcony if you don't. Best entertainment ever on a ship. Friendly staff. - tom83036152
