Allure of the Seas Review

Additional details
We are a couple in our Early 60's.. We have cruised about a dozen times over the years, and have recently settled on both RC and Celebrity as our go to preferences. We booked the Owner's suite (11640) since we were able to take advantage of a great offer and Florida resident discount too.
Embarkation was a breeze. We pulled into the parking garage, immediately greeted at the elevator, dropped our bags off, and headed up to the waiting area. We boarded around 1045. The entire process was very organized and smooth.
The ship is magnificent. I would suggest taking some time before going on the cruise to familiarize yourself with the ship layout, the neighborhoods, etc... It made getting around much easier, and by the end of the first day we had no problems navigating the ship. It is amazing that with over 6,000 guests, it rarely felt crowded. Having the different neighborhoods in various sections of the ship really helped with crowd management.
Cabin Review
Owner's Suite with Balcony
The cabin was excellent. Very large, very quite, comfortable, and great location on the ship. There is storage space in all rooms, most of it we did not use or need. We absolutely loved the balcony space. The bed was surprisingly very comfortable. We would have preferred to have had a larger shower space for a suite this size.
Port Reviews
St. Maarten
We went to Parott Ville Bird Sanctuary on our own. Just picked up a cab from port, and in 5 minutes we were there. Great way to spend a few hours, birds were super friendly. Staff were very nice and went out of their way to educate on the birds and the history of the island.
San Juan
We walked to the fort on our own, and along the way stopped by "Save a Gato" cat rescue. The dedicated group of volunteers work tirelessly to take care of the homeless cat population on the island. We spent some time with the volunteers, and they are truly committed to their mission. If you are a cat person, its a worthwhile stop by.
