Review summary
Hi,
Ship is very nice but also very large.
Not enough complimentary dining areas. RCL is pushing the specialty dining which you have to pay extra for. There was plenty of seats at those restaurants.
They are also pushing My Time dining. Good to have but they also need to make more space for the main dining. They ran out of those seats very quickly. I miss the large open main dining areas with multiple floors, open areas, music by a 2 or 3 piece orchestra, chandlers, etc. Allure has all separate dining areas and they all have only one floor. Dining is not the pleasure it once was and the food selection is getting more and more limited.
Excusions not that great. I booked 2 of them and they both got changed. Lots of time on buses to get there, was not told about that, and they were all very crowded.
Next time I am booking on the smaller ships, well they are really big ones just not as large at the Allure.
