Allure of the Seas

Review summary

The price was very reasonable and the cabin was awesome. The shows were my favorite part of this cruise. I think for this size ship and the number of passengers the dining room service definitely needs to be improved (waiters seemed to be spread too thin). Time on shore in first port was less than I expected, but overall I and my family enjoyed this experience. It is definitely a big ship and takes probably a full day to find your way around.

Excellent view of the stern and Aqua Theater. Looking down on entrance to Johnny Rockets, the carousel, the Sabor bar and all other activity along boardwalk. Zip line passed just overhead and rock climbing wall was fun to watch.

Ship tip

Boardwalk had coffee and donuts every morning which was very nice and convenient. The boardwalk dog house was great place to grab a hot dog, coney or sausage for a midday snack.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

If you go , use Park and go. They park your car, handle your luggage and drop you off with door to door service.

Nassau, Bahamas

Best port of trip. You must do Maho beach and see the planes land. Recommend you use Bernard tours if you can.

I would be cautious of sales pitches of off boat and on board retail items like watches, diamonds, various jewelry, hand bags, clothing etc. You should compare to what you are able to buy in a US retail store.
