Review summary

Be kind, learn new foods, try things you normally wouldn’t! While the ship is large, there is no problem finding a quiet spot to read or people watch. Just one reason I’ll always have a ocean view balcony~it’s our happy place!

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Only because a jumper from previous cruise delayed all of us! Police still got ‘em though.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

We found the food pleasing for the most part. We are not food critics that have our nose in the air. Something good was always available to eat.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

My 50 year old husband Rock climbed twice, each a harder course and made it to the top-we are both just now starting to get much more active. So that was a celebration 🎊

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Really really good! Mama Mia and the Ocean Aria blew us away! Don’t miss it’

Children's Programs

Traveled with no kids

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

For the most part everyone was great. Do seem to see a slight decline in general friendliness and not as upbeat. This is all post covid but I’d sail again tomorrow. These folks spend long periods away from their families and country to entertain and cleanup after us.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Central Park is stunning and almost more so at dusk or night. Between that and the boardwalk area it makes for a unique layout. I do dread the slides if they add them next year.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Everything was definitely to our liking and our steward (Iputo) made sure I had my ice twice a day.

Ship tip

It is very big if you’ve haven’t sailed an oasis class ship. Tons of walking that seems to never end but we researched and understood. Coming from only Liberty of the seas, Allure is massive! Just relax and have a great vacation!
