Casino Comp - Quick getaway
This was our second cruise on Allure and I was initially excited to have an Oasis Class ship with the quick weekend getaways close to home. That being said - We both liked it, but can't say that we loved it. Would I go on her again? Absolutely, but wouldn't be my first choice.
The Good and the "Meh"
Cabins: (this time a 1 BR Aqua, last time Jr. Suite) ...
This was our first time with RCL. We've cruised on Princess and Celebrity. Our first impression is that this is a BIG ship!!! So we went into it knowing navigating around would require time. Our cabin was about in the middle and around the corner of the elevators. I was concerned about noise but none was noticed. A few random thoughts/points/observations:
- The solarium which is suppose to ...
We were strictly Royal Caribbean travelers until this cruise. When we got on the boat, we were not even acknowledged, even though 2 boat employees were standing on either side of the door. No smile, no welcome. Just look at us. When we got on the elevator, as soon as I looked at the floors, it looked old and dirty. A far cry from the protocols they were taking during COVID. It's like they ...
We were with a large group of 39 on this cruise. It was our first time and we had high hopes.
Food poisoning, smokers polluting the hallways, deafening music on 4 of the main decks, cold pools and warm hot tubs.
Our first cruise. Jan 5-8 2024
Two out of ten stars is not enough for us to return.
1. We were excited about the hot tubs, they were warm, like the pools should have ...
Boarding was quick and easy. Buffet was NOT good, it wasn't much to choose from. Was able to get into our cabin by 1 pm luggage were there by 145 or so. The Oceanview cabin was a big disappointment. It was very small and the couch was disgusting I took picture of it.. COCOCAY was the best part even though the water was freezing we still had a wonderful time. Main dining food was boring. The menu ...
My MIL decided to gift our family this trip for a Christmas treat. The ship is beautiful and big. However there is the good the bad and the ugly. I’ll start with the good.
Good - The rooms were always cleaned well. Staff service was great at Windjammer, Dazzles, Cafe Promenade, Sorrentos. The spa thermals were very relaxing. The gym was great. Our room with balcony was great. Getting on and ...
We chose this cruise because we were sailing with our Gen Z kids.
Pros: The ship is gorgeous, service is terrific, and there is a lot to see and do on the ship. Great for families! Food is very good as in the past. The entertainment was really good as well. They had the musical Mama Mia, but they could of offered a condensed version as well (i.e. similarly to how Disney condenses their ...
Allure Of the Seas 3-day cruise. 12/15/2023
The 4th deck Floor mng of Main Dining "Nittens" gave us all COVID as well as the servers were sniffling also. We tried not to engage.
We wore our surgical 4 ply masks everywhere except when dining.
The menu choices & food served in the main dining room was typically inedible. Sad.
The waiters & servers had a very limited knowledge of the ...
I was hesitant to board this ship as it was not and has not been amplified. But the ship is in tip top shape and couldn't even tell it was an old ship. The layout and design was beautiful. The artwork was very nice and different. The Broadway show was amazing and funny and up beat. People got up from their chairs singing and dancing. I also enjoyed this ship using/converting the Royal Thearte into ...
Quite literally the worst vacation I have been on. Our balcony door didn’t seal correctly and it took until the second night of the cruise for them to repair it correctly and stop the whistling. Their initial fix was to put tape over the seal which rendered the balcony useless. This was a non started since my wife gets sea sick on the first day of a sail and the fresh air from the balcony helps. ...
