I was honored to have been able to sail Allure for my first cruise. She was so much fun and I can't wait to cruise again!
Embarkation
5 out of 5
We got a pretty early check in time, so we were on the boat in no time! Everything ran so smoothly. The Muster Drill literally took us seconds.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Had the unlimited dining package and thank God we did! The main dining room food was not very good for lunch and dinner. Cold and tasteless. But we loved the MDR breakfast! They had the best french toast! We had some Windjammer, but we basically avoided it most of the trip, only really going to pick at some desserts (that were also not very good, tbh).
We don't drink much, so we did some a la carte drinks here and there (still ended up cheaper than the deluxe drink package), but we had the soda package as well which was totally worth it.
The food at all of the specialty dining restaurants were great and the service was amazing! Never waited too long and the food just kept coming. These specialty restaurants are what carries the ship.

Service and Staff

All of the staff was so friendly! Shout out to Yang, he was so fun. They all went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed ourselves.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
The ship was very clean! Practically spotless. She was a bit old. I was aware of that before boarding, but it was still very comfortable and beautiful.
The ship was very easy to navigate, though there would be issues with the elevators at times.
Cabin / Stateroom

Felt very clean and comfortable.
Ship tip
Try to get up early to maximize your time on this ship. Early bird gets the worm! You can experience everything it has to offer with proper planning.
Such a beautiful port! The offered excursions were nice as well and the Mexican chocolate store in the port has the best Mexican chocolate I have ever tasted.
