Review summary

great cruise the Allure is a large ship so get orientated before you walk the wrong way. Don't fret the checking of doc on embarkation it only lasts a few minutes then you are free to enjoy your vacation. Oh I do have to mention masks, they have to be worn inside while walking from one place to another but outside you don't need to wear them, one more thing the new muster drill is GREAT!!!

Embarkation

Smooth multiple checks of documents but that was expected

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We ate all our dinners in MDR and I feel since the inception of specialty dinning the food in MDR has dropped a notch. As always the staff made the experience outstanding. The staff was even more attentive than before all over the ship.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
did Zip line to challenge my fear of ledges, great experience, hung out in hot tub and pool in solarium most days

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Mama Mia was great I'm not much for Broadway shows but I enjoyed it very much, the comedians were funny especially the Two Brothers they reminded me of Martin & Lewis

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
You could tell they were glad to be back at work, they were talkative and friendly and if possible more attentive. Loved interacting with them again.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The Allure is starting to show her age (i know she was due for updates that got postponed) but all areas were clean and seemed to be constantly cleaned especially anything you might touch

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
room was clean and our cabin steward was excellent, however for a balcony it seemed smaller than we remembered. Also being an older ship there are no USB plugs to charge phones or laptops and only one out let with 3 plugs which if your using for charging only fit two plugs.

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten
