Review summary

For my first Oasis Class experience, I wasn’t impressed. The shows and the Coastal Kitchen dining, was the highlight. Central Park and the Boardwalk were also very nice.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation was a breeze. I had 10:30 am check-in but my son and I were in a suite.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Most of the staff that I encountered, appeared to be bothered by me. I purchased the DBP, and tip $1-$2 (I take $2 bills on cruises) for each drink. The first day I thought ok maybe I’m just being overly sensitive. The next day and beyond, it became increasingly worse. So I kept my money in pocket! I had a horrible encounter at Sabor…..which prompted me to go find a supervisor. Only a handful of the crew made me feel welcome. And being generous with that handful. Seriously, the crew seemed irritated.

Irritated crew? Very unusual…we never experienced that on any of our cruises.

Odd. We've never had any problems on Allure in the past. Too bad that you had some issues, but it appeared you still had a great time overall.
