Overall, Allure was a great ship and the staff were all friendly. Service was quick, but it would be nice seeing more added onboard. A waterslide, updated entertainment options, refreshed cabins, are some missing features
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Embarking was pretty simple, although the port is not as beautiful and well-designed as Miami's.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The main dining room menu was amazing, and so was the service from the staff. Our assistant waiter made a few mistakes here and there with our drinks, but it was no big deal
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
I liked how a bunch of secret telescopes were scattered through the ship with hidden images or secrets. The zipline was also great, just don't go during the afternoon when the line is long and the sun intensity is high. Would be nice to see waterslides added to the ship
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The shows were great, especially the ice games show at Studio B. We also enjoyed the headliner show on our first day, featuring two comedians.

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The staff were very friendly and quick to take orders. This includes the room service attendants, main dining room staff, and buffet staff. There are a few new Assistant waiters who may make a mistake, but it's nothing serious since they're just learning. But it would be great to see them taking note of orders rather than memorizing
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Ship was overall pretty clean, although we found an old receipt from someone that was onboard the Allure three sailings before us. Not sure how our stateroom attendant did not see that. Other than that, there was a little rust around the ship here and there, but that's because it is overdue for renovations.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Our neighborhood balcony cabin was pretty comfortable and cleaned twice daily. It's not that peaceful during the night since there are parties around the ship, but it didn't prevent me from sleeping. I'd say it was worth the price
Ship tip
If you're looking to sail on Allure of the Seas, double-check if you're interested in the ports of call. I definitely recommend visiting CocoCay, in The Bahamas, Royal Caribbean's private island. Just be mindful the ship is overdue for renovations, so it is the original version of the oasis-class and has no waterslides.
Disembarking was made simple, we actually got off around 10 AM since our flight wasn't until 9 PM. If you're getting off early though, you may experience a long wait to exit and the port is most likely going to be crowded with thousands of guests.
