Review summary

Everything from dinner to the entertainment was awesome.... again, I had to find other things to do on this cruise as I was still recovering from surgery. I normally do the zipline, flow rider, play in the 3 on 3 tournament, and all. So the shows were my entertainment and the lounge chairs!!! Lol! Awesome! I want to thank Cheryl Stronzer for all she did to make my engagement cruise EPIC!

Embarkation

The process has gotten so much better since the last time I cruised in 2015!! Progress is good and it makes for happier customers.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
OMG!! The main dining room was awesome every night... the food was exceptionally delicious... especially my lobster night!!! Reggie (main server) and Ulric (asst. Server) were awesome!! Quick service!!! We were the life of the dining room!!!! The table next to us were so much fun!!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Unfortunately, I was unable to participate in any onboard activities, because I had just had surgery 2 weeks before the cruise. But my friends did the zipline and the rock climbing. They enjoyed it!!!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The stage shows were phenomenal. I wasn't able to do much as I had surgery before the cruise. Mamma Mia, the Aqua Show, the Quest, and the Ice Games show were awesome!! The Blaze night club wasn't as good this time as it was last time, but the deck parties were awesome!! Flavio (the activities Director) was fantastic!!! I got engaged in the On-Air during Karaoke.. I proposed to her singing in Karaoke. Awesome.

Children's Programs

Service and Staff

Everyone that we came into with on the ship was fantastic... Javier our stateroom attendant made sure our room was clean and he went beyond his call of duty. I was unable to do any strenuous activities so he helped my fiancee bring the luggage into the room.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This was my 2nd time on the Allure of the Seas and I enjoyed it even more since I was limited to what I could do on the ship. I love this boat... the boat was clean in all the common areas!!!

Love the balcony room.....

Ship tip

Please make sure you attend all the shows. You won't be disappointed. Do the zipline and the flow rider as well. The only problem I encountered was on the ports. None of the souvenir shops took debit or credit cards. So make sure you take plenty of cash with you to spend at the ports.

We took a nice tour of Roatan, Honduras.... it was extremely nice and we visited a animal shelter. Took some nice photos.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
We took a ride to downtown Costa Maya near the beach. Nice area, but again souvenir shops weren't very good at all. I wanted basic key chains and they didn't have any.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Compared to the last Disembarkation in Galveston, TX, this one was a breeze!! The computers at customs went down and it took us 2 1/2 hours to get off the boat. This particular embarkation was quick, easy, hassle-free!! Royal Caribbean has definitely made progress and improvements in this area!!
