Review summary

First boarding was great.  We where late due to the airline and were able to get checked in and on board at 3:50 P.M. for a 4:00 departure.  Over all the ship is nice with the outside areas and the specialty dinning.  Rooms are what you expect small but functional. Lots of balconies that face inward I and my wife found the views nice but overly loud at night when parades were going on.  Main dinning was not good food no up to Royal Caribbean standards.  specialty restaurants were excellent although Chops seemed to have fallen off a bit.  Room attendant was great always around if something was needed. (more pillows).  But did not get use of a robe.? Diamond club was excellent and the evenings it was moved to the club a floor above due to the amount of people aboard.  great service and plenty of drinks.  One big problem was the ship was unable to stabilize rocked and rolled most of the trip even when weather was calm.  over all not bad loud noise on inside balcony cabins, main dining so so, and stabilizers they are there for a reason use them.

Just got off allure Sunday.. Weather WAS a bit windy at times but I 'felt' this boat 5x more than previous Oasis sailing. Especially at night when we were only going 12-15 knots.

We were just on the Allure Jan 17-24. During a storm as we headed back to Florida the ship rocked a bit but not enough to keep us from continuing to enjoy ourselves. For the most part it was smooth sailing.

we went on the allure twice, once in 2013 and 2014 never had a problem with any type of movement. we even had a storm one evening. hope this isn't something that is a new problem. love the allure

We had the same experience with the stabelizers on Allure. Thought it was strange as the seas weren't horrible. Wonder if Oasis has the same problem.
