Review summary

We had a great vacation and can't wait to cruise with Royal again. The Allure is a beautiful ship. We didn't get the stop at Labadee due to a medical situation, but pleased that if put in that situation, my family would be put first. Although disappointed in missing the port, the right decision was made. Your vacation is what you make of it and any day on a cruise ship is better than any day at work!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

So easy! Expedited arrival accomplished having done everything online!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was good. Overbearing cigarette smell from the casino was a damper upon leaving the main dining room each evening.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

So many options! Variety all around the ship!

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Aqua and theater shows are wonderfully done. Daily options for music.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Finding an attentive bar server is vital and so simple to do. Staff go above and beyond at every opportunity.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Sometimes a challenge to find an elevator at busy times. Getting your steps in is easy as it does take abit to get from one end of the ship to the other! Ship is kept tidy and cleaned.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Good sized cabin. Disappointed in balcony. Would not choose an inside balcony view again. Noise, noise, noise along with absolutely no privacy was a major disappointment. Should have chosen the ocean view balcony.
