Review summary

Initially intimidated by the size of the ship. Took a few days to get a general feel of where things were. Always something to do (if you want) or read books on balcony if you don't. Best entertainment ever on a ship. Friendly staff. Food was just OK and no midnight buffet. We will definitely cruise both this line and ship again.

Best entertainment ever on a ship. We saw all of the shows and was never disappointed. Moma Mia had a cast of 25 with a live orchestra. Amazing.

Give yourself plenty of time to get to ship. We were in a 45 minute traffic jam at 11:00 AM

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We rented abeach bed for the day. Great experience but a bit overpriced. Service and buffet were excellent. Snorkeling was OK

Nassau, Bahamas Did not visit port

Not much to see in port so I spent the day on my balcony reading books.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Took a $13.00 cab ride to a private beach. Snorkeling was good. Prices were fair ($3.50 beer, $13.00 fajita that feed 4). Rocky beach but swimming was nice.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Best tour ever on a cruise! Native Choice Tours (walking distance from port) CHACCHOBEN RUINS TOUR. $55.00 per person. Guide was a native Mayan and had a masters degree in history. Very knowledgeable about the peoples in the area and the history of the site. Taught me how to count in Mayan!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We did the early disembarkation. Lines were long but moved quickly.

The Alure is a great ship. Loved everything about it. After 2nd day we knew how to get everywhere and even how to avoid the backups after a show for the elevators, without using the stairs.

Have to agree 100%...the shows on Allure were the best that we've ever seen on a cruise! Mamma Mia and the water show were fantastic!
