Not sure if I will book another Royal Caribbean trip.
Quality of the food was just okay. PRINCESS cruises have better food overall.
Also, there was no breakfast offered on the last day of the cruise (even at Windjammer) . They had it last year on different ship (navigator of the sea). Did they stop offering it?
Yet also No midnight buffet, and no afternoon tea.
NO magic shows.
Headliner singer, Earl Terner is terrible
Musical, Blue Planet was boring
Mama Mia was okay
Ice show was okay
Aqua show was okay
Comedy : 1st comedian was not so funny. 2nd one was excellent.
Face painting was terrible quality. Don't bother if they can't draw it nicely.
Airbrush Tatoo came off after 1 quick shower.
DreamWorks character parade : cheesy
Dance parties : good
Baloon animals : good

All staff are professional.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
Clean and maintained well.
Promenade and boardwalk is nice to hang out.
Buffet never ran out of seats even at busy time.
Relatively easy to find beach chairs by the pool.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Roomy and clean, relatively speaking.
Not being able to use hair dryer in bathroom was major downside.
Ship tip
Book Princess Cruises if you like quality food and good entertainment.
Criticizing the entire RCCL fleet and advertising Princess because of one cruise and, perhaps, your unrealistic expectations, is not credible. No problem if you don't like Oasis class ships; you may just be more attuned to smaller ships in which case RCCL, Holland, Celebrity, NCL, and Carnival Corporation, the parent of Princess, all have highly rated smaller ships. If you are in love with Princess, and comfortable with their offerings, then stick with that and enjoy your next cruise.
Was on the allure last May there was breakfast on the last day maybe you just did not go this review is not the experience I had on the allure maybe you should cook your own breakfast and just stay home
Cruised Allure this past May. Everything was awesome. They did serve a plentiful breakfast that last morning. The shows were all superb and Broadway caliber. The staff was more then pleasant everyday.
You just can't please some people.
Bogus review. I just cruised on that ship last week. Food was good, ship was awesome, the shows were very good and breakfast was offered in both the M DR and Windjammer on departure day.
shesfromboston... agreed I said at the Windjammer and had delicious breakfast on the last day we weren't rushed they had everything there it was perfect... never had an issue with any of the shows everything was awesome boat was plentiful lot of people but never waited in line shows were at the Acme Broadway caliber that was only my second cruise but I had an excellent time and I'm doing another RC Cruise next May
I just got off a few weeks ago. Food was delicious, shows were great..comedians were extremly funny. Breakfast on last day in Windjammer was extremely good and plentiful. I've cruised alot and Royal Carribean is by far my favorite cruise line.
