This is my first cruise on the Allure of the Seas. It is as big as a small city that housed 6,000 people and is capable to cruise at 22 knots. The Central Park is one of a kind which makes an evening stroll very relaxing. The Board Walk is a child's heaven. The best part of this cruise is the on board entertainment. The Ocean Aria, Mamma Mia, the Blue Planet, the Ice Games, and the comedy shows are all magnificent. We watched the Ocean Aria show twice from our stateroom balcony. The dining room staff and the stateroom attendants are all professional and friendly. Captain Holmes appears to be very personable and cracks a few "Coffee First" jokes with some of the ship passengers. The Port of Calls are excellent. We joined an excursion tour to visit the UNESCO Chichen Itza Mayan Ruin. Learned a lot about the Mayan culture and history. The overall cruise experience has been amazing. I highly recommend this cruise to all cruisers.
