Review summary
Cruising has always been fun especially the ones close to holidays. The ship was beautifully decorated and there was always a festive atmosphere. We enjoyed the main show "mamma mia" and the many happy hours we had at the diamond club. This was our 4th cruise on the Allure and we did notice that this ship may require some refurbishment. Carpets were often worn out and some of the closets in the room required some maintenance including the safe. Santa also did not look too happy for some reason and only was there for photos one day. Last year on the Oasis, santa was everywhere including lining up for ziplining. One other thing that was a little disappointing is the food has been going downhill progressively every cruise we have taken since.
Other than that, it is always enjoyable taking a cruise; just for relaxation.
