Huge ship!!! Disappointed that some of the shows were cancelled and also didn't know you had to have reservations to them.

Review summary

The ship was to big for me and too many people. Did not like the fact that you had to have reservations to see a show and the main show was cancelled due to illness.

Thanks for the review. If I'm correct, not all shows required a reservation. Allure is a big ship and I agree it's not for everyone. Try the Freedom Class ships next time.. I think you'll like it. But thanks for the review!

Bigger is not always better. Try cruising when schools are in session and not around a holiday for less crowds.
