Allure of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We only did one excursion, the submarine view of the coral reefs on Roatan. DON'T DO THIS ONE. They took us to the other side of the island, we had a shortened time on the boat. The restroom facilities were dirty, dingy and not secure, and there was only one roll of toilet paper between the two rooms.

Things are definitely different post-pandemic. Seems more crowded, but only because the # staff might be less. Seems very rushed in main dining room and quality of relationships with your assigned waitstaff suffered. Wait staff even at Chops seemed distant, even unhappy. Entertainment was GREAT but we noticed that they don't do aerialist/cirque shows anymore (nor that type in Aquatheatre show). Overall we had a good time but a little sad that in general, the overall happy feel of the crew/staff was not there (probably understaffed).

Had a great time and met a lot of nice people. Friends that we will continue to have after the cruise. Would do it again in a minute. Thanks Royal Caribbean.

Cruise was wonderful as is the new terminal. However, THE COST OF OATKING IS RIDICILOUS - $204 for the week for 6200 passengers us overkill!

As an active member of the United States military, I was hoping to have a relaxing and stress free experience aboard this cruise. My friend and I both contracted COVID-19, had multiple port issues and no help from on board staff. We had gastro intestinal issues we assume from the food, and I never received any sort of military discount. I don't like to complain but I genuinely hated this cruise and I hope Royal Caribbean compensates me.

Excellent overall, although only 2 stops. Lots of folks saying Royal needs differed itineraries out of Galveston. MDR limited menu, no classics, theme nights a definite negative.

Beautiful and clean ship. The staff and shows are amazing. There's always so many fun things to do when aboard the Allure of the Seas. Once again, I had a marvelous time on a Royal cruise and would not hesitate to book on the Allure again.

The dining service and crew redeemed the disasterous embarkation. Royal Caribbean really needs to reevaluate their extra cleaning protocol and embarkation process. No one was happy dragging their luggage for 2 hours in the sun waiting in line to get on the ship to embark.

It was a great cruise. The ship still had newness qualities and the staff and services were outstanding. Would like to visit a few more ports on this 8 day cruise.

Had a great time. The staff was superb. Richard in the main dining was the best. I can’t remember who cleaned our cabin but he was so polite and attentive.

Ship and staff are awesome. Refund Port fees are not distributed equally and no one can explain why - that was frustrating.

Need to force parents to watch their kids. Not sure why dogs are allowed. The buffet needs to split to have adults one one side and kids and animals on the other side. I watched a child dump his plate of food in the maple syrup because he shouldn’t have been getting his own food. Where are the dogs supposed to crap? I watched a lady take her dog to the park and put him in the flower garden where he did his duty and she walked away leaving the crap in the dirt. How disappointing. I couldn’t believe what I saw.

Although we enjoyed the "cruise," the negatives cancelled-out the positives. Royal Caribbean has done a horrible disservice to its passengers with its SMALL venue locations. Passengers waiting in line for an hour-and-a-half just to get seating for music or game (trivial, etc.) that only lasted 20 minutes! EVERYTHING WAS MUCH TOO LOUD!!! Disembarkation onboard was an absolute fiasco (no directives; confusing signage; disinterested, ill-informed crew members).

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.
