Allure is a great ship with a lot of room for 5400 cruisers. We had 3400 with COVID restrictions which put a huge damper on meeting people and just hanging out with new friends. I would recommend against any cruise line that has 100% adult vaccination, 100% negative antigen tests and still requires all the additional protocols. Be safe, but not stupid.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Poor ability to help special dietary cruiser with a menu for the week, so every meal became a 20-45 minute order and wait ordeal. No food in WindJammer was labeled in detail so everything had to be specially made. - Note: non-special diet cruiser did just fine but the food was 'meh'.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Trivia, shows, Solarium and more. was happy with boat activities.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Good, not great. Dive show started with a story then immediately dropped it for splashes... Ice show was just an advertisement for what was on board... casino, boardwalk, etc... The comedy was family friendly and enjoyed most of it. Mamma Mia was a hit, although we did not expect the FULL 3 HOUR SHOW!
Children's Programs
no kids in party
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Room, Main Dining, Bar tenders all excellent. Chef horrible, bland food, mostly indian or thai. Head waiter was a moron. Customer Service was always an argument with their opinion trying to bully you...
