Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The Allure of the Seas is an amazing ship. We truly enjoyed being on board. The best part for us was cruising. We did not like the ports of call, but preferred it when we were at sea.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Cabin location was good and the cabin itself was fine. However, the location was not a good. We were over the Boardwalk and it was loud until at least midnight every night. I do not recommend an interior balcony over the Boardwalk. Won't make that mistake again.

Ship tip

Don't book a balcony room over the Boardwalk.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
Easy port to depart from and get back on a plane after the cruise.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

2 out of 5
Disappointed by the port and town. Was expecting something more tropical, but I guess you have to leave that area to find such settings. In town, everyone wanted to sell you something. The stores were OK, but would not go back to that port again.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

3 out of 5
Not impressed with the port or area where the ship docked.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island) Did not visit port

Medical emergency 3 hours from San Juan caused the ship to return to San Juan and did not leave time for Labadee.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy process to leave the ship, clear customs, and UBER to FLL.

So we are going to be on deck 12 in a few months. Is all of deck 12 over the boardwalk? First time on RC. Thanks!
