Review summary

The cruise was amazing from the service to the food to the entertainment onboard.  The ports (Costa Maya and Cozumel) were great even though we have already visited those ports, we still enjoy revisiting.  The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was the overall cleanliness of the ship.  There was chipped paint, stains in various areas, shower in cabin 2328 was not very clean.  The "eye-sores" I noticed may or may not have been seen by others but I thought I would mention.  I will still continue to cruise Royal Caribbean...Allure of the Seas up next July 2-9, 2017.

The oceanview was great and it was roomier than anticipated but the drawers on the desk were hard to open and close on one side and there was mold in the exhaust above the shower.

Ship tip

Unfortunately, there is only one soft serve ice cream station and it is on deck 11 by the kid pool and closes at 9 each night...be sure to get what you can during the day for the free ice cream lovers.

If you have not tried other cruise companies you really should. Princess and Holland America are hard to beat.
