Review summary

We went on the Allure for our Anniversary trip and had an amazing time. The entertainment was unreal. We were never with nothing to do. Food and service was outstanding! I do recommend using the app and book your reservations the day you board the ship!

Embarkation

It seemed a little unorganized. But once we got inside the terminal lines and people moved quickly!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I felt like like the menu for main dining had less options than usual. The Wind Jammer seemed to be smaller than the freedom class ship... But there were many more food venues to choose from! The Wipeout Cafe had some some of our favorite Mexican dishes. My favorite was the park cafe in central Park. Their soups and salads left me craving more!

Onboard Activities

We used the fitness center a lot, hot tubs, sun decks, and even went zip lining. I do feel like this ship is perfect for couples and older kids.

Pretty cool!

Solarium

Very nice but it was hard to get a lounger. I feel like a lot of people would put towels down go eat, swim, do what whatever but have reserved chairs. It was a little annoying.

Carousel

Super cute!!! Something magical about ringing a carousel on a boat!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service was outstanding... It was a little slower in the main dining than what we are used too but still adequate. Room Service went above and beyond. Our room was kind of hot and we asked Frank if he could bring a box fan (half joking) but he delivered one within minutes!

Ship Quality

This a very beautiful ship! It's so big I was still getting list on day 7 lol! They had the wind jammer set up kind of awkward but I believe that had something to do with the handwashing station post covid. It's very well maintained!

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
This room was extra spacious. It had a beautiful ceiling to floor window overlooking the very front of the ship. The ac really didn't work. You literally could tell the temp difference as soon as you got close to our cabin. Thankfully Frank brought us a fan!

Ship tip

Use the royal app to keep up with all the shows and activities. There is so much and it is all worth seeing!

Ports of call

I fell in love with this island! It was a little sketchy at first...and you are bombarded with locals trying to sell you something as soon as you get off the ship.! But we had an amazing your guide! We did an island your, visited some native animals, and snorkeled the reef.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
We did a beach break. Drinks and food were delicious... Those pinacolodas will sneak up on ya😎

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Always our favorite stop! Cozumel has so much to do! This time we decided to go deep sea fishing. We had a sail fish but it got loose ( I got to see it jump out the water though)! We ended up reeling in two Mahi Mahis. The boat dropped us off at Margaritaville, and they cooked our fish for us! It was so yummy and very very fresh!
