Review summary

The cruise was great. There was some mixup with our transfers from the airport but the staff cleared it up. The service from our travel agent was lacking as he promised our insurance would transfer and then never got back to us when we called several times about it.

We have a great travel agent. Her name is Teresa Skeim. She is with Cruise Specialists in Seattle. We have been with her for several years. We highly recommend her.

Glad you had a good time. Allure is a wonderful ship, isn't it? Looks like it's time for a new travel agent.
