Allure of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Great cruise! Excellent entertainment & shows! excellent service (only ran across 2 or 3 grumpy staff members) everyone was very friendly and eager to please. Clean room, clean ship, great music onboard. We are sorta foodies and appreciate good food (don't like fast food), but we didn't do the specialty dining pkg. MDR was good for bfst, lunch, And dinner. Had Solarium bfst once, barely found a table outside in the wind and had to eat cold food. Not set up near as well as on Symphony. Windjammer was good for breakfast and was busy, but didn't seem as bad as Solarium bistro. But maybe we just went to SB at a bad time. Pizza was pretty good as long as it was fresh. Lunch and snack options on the ship weren't great. (except salads and soups) The desserts were mostly bleh. Free ice cream in wipeout Cafe was ok. Coffee card was great and well worth it. We didn't do any other drink pkgs except order 24 bottles of water to our room. That was also well worth it. Water onboard was fine, but about halfway thru the sailing, it tasted a bit salty. As if the desalinator was struggling a bit. But then it got better. Sinks, showers, toilets all functioned well in cabin. Cruise director was great. There was a tribute to veterans And first responders which was wonderful. All the kids onboard were well behaved, except one that we saw. Our sailing was sold out, but not an overwhelming amount of children. And when they are all So well behaved, it's wonderful to have them onboard. There was a lot of movement on the ship, which surprised us. We barely felt anything on symphony, but I guess the seas were rougher this time. The last sea day was so windy, they had to close the upper decks because the wind would knock you over. So the ship was very crowded with everyone having to be indoors. But even so, you could still find corners to sit and meet people. We had a great time overall and would definitely recommend this ship!

Great ship, staff and experience. Would definitely use and Royal Caribbean again!

Third time on this itinerary. Good value for the price I paid.

Cruising is back to normal just the way I love it!!!

This is a great cruise if you are looking for many common areas and top notch entertainment

We were hesitant to sail on a huge ship. We have mostly avoided them. But we were surprised at the lack of crowds and spaciousness of the public areas.

Wonderful, pretty ship. Lots of entertainment. Amazing shows. Easy to navigate the ship.

We loved the ship, enjoyed it all we just miss the outside bar n grill yo watch football n eat our wings n drink.

We loved hunting for ducks and doing all the trivia and games. And late night pizza at Sorrentos!!

Great trip, great food! Need sweeter desserts! Port shopping was good!

Easy to get around the ship. The parties on the Promenade are lots of fun. Better to reserve the shows you want to attend, but they are easy to get in even if you have not made a reservation.

Now I know I prefer smaller ships. I like the ocean experience, and this is not it.

I had a great time. I cruised solo, but was never lonely. Lots to do and people were very friendly.

Great cruise. Lived renew terminal. Glad u have photo I’d back when leaving ship. First time as Diamond! Loved the extra perks, Diamond lounge (hate u r going to move) extra drinks, 2 days free internet, meeting with the entertainers, 2 free pictures. Will continue to sail with Royal Caribbean!! Add Key West to the places out of Galveston!!!

Although we really prefer the smaller ships, this was a very pleasant and relaxing cruise on this beautiful ship.

Have only been on one cruise 20 years ago. I was traveling solo. I met many wonderful people, never felt overwhelmed by the size of the ship, and always had something fun to do if I wanted to. Lots of opportunities to just relax by the pool.

Love the Oasis class ships. Will never go on a little one again. RC is an EXCELLENT cruise line. WE’LL BE BACK!!!

As longtime small ship cruisers we were worried about size. It really didn't rise to our level of concern. Most things were done smoothly. Also the onboard internet package gave decent connection, a surprise:)

Pros: e-Muster was fast and so much better than sitting around waiting on everyone else Boardwalk area was really neat Upper Central Park outdoor area Diamond benefits are better than the other cruise line's perks No loud stateroom or hallway announcements Clock in stateroom No obnoxious singing & dancing in the MDR at dinner by waitstaff Cons: buffet was tight & hard to navigate with so many people Up charge for specialty dining is too high Pub doesn’t sell food Line at WipeOut Cafe always long but food was great Royal App is convoluted & hard to find what I want (charges weren’t accurate) Stateroom gets over heated even with drapes closed all day; windows need better UV protection Mattresses are too hard

We have a wonderful time and great entertainment. It would be more valuable if the ship has self laundry and iron.
