8 Night Southern Caribbean (Ft. Lauderdale Roundtrip)

Sail date: September 17, 2022

Ship: Allure of the Seas

Traveled as: Family (older children)

Reviewed: 2 years ago

Review summary

Many fun moments. Traveled with wife, daughter, and son-in-law. Wife lost sea pass card once but no problem getting a new one. Deliberately lost 5 pounds before cruise and gained it back on cruise. So much food. Can't beat a cruise vacation. Do as much or little as you want. Be treated like a king and queen for 8 days.

All of the staff were fabulous. Make you feel very appreciated.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Third cruise on the Allure. Always clean & well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Inside cabin has more than enough room for two people to be comfortable.

Ship tip

Be ready for a lot of walking. If your room is in front of ship , dining hall is in back(1100" away). If you're in back, fitness and pools are 1100' away in front. Big ship.

Husband and I was on this same cruise! This was our 3rd time on Allure also, ship is still looking good and definitely clean. Main Dining room service and food was top notch. We did the same excursion in Curacao was a good time. We would definitely hit up that beach again, we really enjoyed it. Aruba was amazing except for all the rain, but we still enjoyed ourselves.
