Review summary

Allure of the Seas is a huge ship - not really our preference. If you want an all inclusive vacation to relax and party, this is a good ship. Not really for people who want to experience cultural sites and get an educational experience. Great for a family vacation with kids.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Shore staff were overloaded, confusing where to drop off luggage so we wound up carrying it onboard ourseleves.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Facilities and wait staff were outstanding - couldn't be nicer or more helpful. Food on the other hand was just OK.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Plenty to do, would have like to have more educational options.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Entertainment was outstanding - all the shows were worth going to, entertaining and fun!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff is well trained, friendly, and exceedingly helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We had an ocean view stateroom - I would not have wanted a stateroom overlooking one of the communities as it would have been loud and would lose a lot of privacy.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very nice cabin, only complaint was the night stands had no drawers.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas Did not visit port

Galveston was just the embarkation/debarkation. No time to visit.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Booked an excursion on our own - car and driver to do whatever we wanted to do and was only $90. Highly recommend one of the wild animal parks (sloths and monkeys) and the Iguana park.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Booked a Mayan ruins excursion through United Cruises, very thorough tour with a small group.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Booked a Mayan ruins excursion through United Cruises, the Tulum Mayan ruins are extremely crowded and it takes a long time to get there.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very efficient and the luggage transfer was great - easy to find our bags in the terminal as the luggage groups were clearly marked.
