Review summary

The Allure of the Seas was an amazing ship! Would love to do this cruise again! 😍 Great job Royal Caribbean!!!!! 👏

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Had to park in the "overflow" lot. Hauled bags about 1/4 mile to the terminal. Handed 2 large bags off to a baggage handler and tipped him $10 bucks ($5 per bag). We did the pre cruise online check in, so we went right on board pretty quick. From the time we parked, dropped bags, we were in our room in 20 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food in the MDR was excellent. We ate there every night. My time dining was 7:40pm 😕. The buffet was very good. We never eat at any specialty restaurants.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

The Promenade, Boardwalk, and Central Park was impressive. Didn't seem like we were on a ship! The 1/4 mile walking track on deck 5 was great to walk off some extra buffet pounds! It was fun to watch the surf riders on the top deck, back of ship! 🏄‍♀️

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Wow! Impressive shows! Be sure to start booking reservations as soon as you get on board. The diving/water show was amazing! The ice skating show was fun. Mama Mia was excellent!!!!! 😀
