Review summary

There were few things that did not WOW me, like beach towels and room towels have bad appearance (very used), shower head broken so water was coming out everywhere, TV screen was crack, stateroom needs refurbish. The on the casino has deceiving advertising, slot machine tournament offers a cruise for two in the Allure of the sea but in reality when you reach to the final round if they did not have enough participants then they give out a cash prize, but this is not advise upfront, which make you participate and do re buys thinking that you have a chance for a cruise. Food in the Café was OK, not so many options and variety of food. Lastly, some great activities overlap each other so you have to pick your best one, a bit of inconvenient because I wanted to participate on both activities.

Things that I like, shows were Excellent as well as the food in the Main Dining. The itinerary also is great, many islands to visit with different things to see.

Nice to read that the food and shows were excellent.  I know what you mean about the activities overlapping.  I run into this sometimes, too, on ships.
