Review summary

No matter how I ever rate a cruise, the fact remains that being out on the water is the best vacation ever....nothing else really matters...sea air, food, and ppl met all factor in, but it still comes down to the fact of being able to sit in that sun of the Caribbean, and smell the salt air!!!

Embarkation

The best I've ever had

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was great, however, I was suprised the menu for dinner was basically the same every night, with the exception of one item in each course. Kinda gotten used to a different menu every night from other ships

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Sitting in the sun on deck is always my favorite past-time while onboard. Went to every show (see below)

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Truly amazing shows! Could not decide which one I liked the best, but I almost broke my Dad's hand while watching the high dives in the AquaTheater

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Let's face it....there's no denying that the Allure is HUGE! With over 5000 passengers plus over 2000 crew, I was pleasantly surprised that I saw no pedestrian jams!

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The cabin was impeccable the entire cruise...but I was extremely disappointed in not only the size of the cabin, but also the balcony

Ship tip

Bring good walking shoes...you'll need them more on the ship than on your excursions!

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

3 out of 5
Since I live in Florida, a port is a port...sorry, but i found nothing spectacular here,,,especially the fact that luggage is kept out in open air without cover until taken onboard the ship. Did not take an excursion

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
I loved Labadee! I found it amazing that the cruiseline "built" this little shopping paradise...no excursion here either.

Falmouth, Jamaica

3 out of 5
At least the islanders were not as pushy here as in Ocho Rios

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Been here numerous times, and remain amazed at all the changes in the port area every time we go

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Getting of the Allure was a breeze! But really!!?? you still have to find your luggage in one great big room...sure they grouped areas according to your luggage ticket, but the area where our luggage was found was totally out of the numerical "order" (there really wasn't much of that in this big room. I was just really surprised that RC does not have the same type of luggage return that other cruiselines have. (Other cruiselines have same thingey as airports)
