Supposedly the Allure is the largest cruise ship. Let me explain why that isn't great. 5200 passengers means over crowded and annoying. I have to wait in long lines from coffee, elevators , re boarding . Screaming kids everywhere. It has four pools which are the size of glorified hot tubs. Crammed so full of people you can't even get in. The food is terrible. Everything decent is an up charge. Bigger isn't better in this case. It just means frustration and a lot of time in your state room to avoid the crowds. I'm Frustrated
