Review summary

Outside of our Med cruise in 2019, this has been our favorite cruise so far.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Disorganized outside as people did not stick to their assigned times but once inside the terminal, went smooth, quickly and easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Did the unlimited dining pkg. Will not do that again, felt too obligated to take advantage and ate WAY too much. Giovanni’s, Sabor and Izumi were spot on and delicious. Disappointed in 150 Central Park and Chops.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We like doing the trivia but mostly just like to relax onboard.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Loved Mama Mia and the comedians. Missed the dive show but have seen it before.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was amazing from start to finish. Spent a lot of time in Vintages because the staff in there were the best.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Perfect location and room attendant was awesome.

Ship tip

Go see Mama Mia if it is still the show onboard. I’m not a stage show person but it was very good.

Ports of call

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
This is our favorite place in the Caribbean so far. We did some shopping and sightseeing on our own and then did the catamaran and snorkeling and it was s blast.

Willemstad, Curacao

4 out of 5
We did not do an excursion, just explored on our own. We enjoyed just walking around town.

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

4 out of 5
Not my favorite port but easy to get to terminal and lots of hotels close by.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5
Enjoyed our relaxing day at the beach.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick, easy and organized.

We were on the Allure in November 2919. Our last cruise. Before Covid. Beautiful huge ship. We loved it. No need for the specialty restaurants with all the places they have you can eat. The MDR food was delicious every night. Haven’t been back to cruising since then because of many health issue not related to Covid. Hope we can go back some day.
