Review summary

We were hesitant to sail on a huge ship. We have mostly avoided them. But we were surprised at the lack of crowds and spaciousness of the public areas.

nice, big balcony, not huge, but comfortable

Ship tip

Get your dining arrangements done before you board. Many venues sold out and lots of waiting if you do not have a reservation. My time dining worked great.

Amazing Ship

Western Caribbean

Allure amenities too small to support 6,000+ passengers
