Review summary

First cruise- the Allure was so beautiful and offered much more than I could possibly do in 7 days. I was amazed at the efficiency of the staff and crew. Always professional and friendly. The cruise was a gift from our daughter and it was magical for us. We were Wow’d! Our departure was so easy. Our baggage was transported to the airport for us and checked through to our destination.. Royal Caribbean printed our boarding passes and left them in our room for us, The perfect end to a fantastic cruise.

Ship tip

Get a drink package that suits your needs. Individual drinks add up quickly. If you are with a group, plan on getting at least the minimum WiFi package. It allows texting to communicate with others in your group. Also if you are warned about mosquitoes, believe them and be prepared!

Adventure Water park and Resort was my excursion. Lots of fun. I would recommend it for all ages. We had age 5yrs to 78 yrs in our group and it was a “hit” with everyone.

Agree with cbelc2. I’ve been on 25 cruises and absolutely loved the Allure. RC does it right. Going on the Symphony in August. Can’t wait.

Was on the Harmony of the seas recently. With ships this size, most times you don't feel anything at all and the few times you do it is barely noticeable. Don't worry about the motion.

I’m going May 26 2019 on my first cruise and I’m nervous, did you feel the ship moving at all ?

KrisJam, no other ship will measure up! I’ve been on about 20 cruises, many different lines and vessels, and the Allure is the ruler I measure all other ships against.
