My wife and I just returned from a week cruise on the Allure celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. This was our 9th cruise (late bloomers) and 2nd on Royal Caribbean. This by far was the nicest and the most fun we have ever had on a cruise and moving forward will only cruise on Royal Caribbean after our experience. If anyone has a bad time on this ship, it is their own fault. The ship has something for everyone and you just can't get bored. It was like being at a Disneyland for adults. Super fun!

Since it was our 25th we splurged and booked at the last minute a Grand Suite. No, we are not rich but wanted to do something special that we would never forget. We live in Phoenix and almost booked a trip to Maui but decided to book on the Allure instead. We made the right decision.

Embarkation: Fabulous, easy and a no brainer. The best we ever had. We stayed overnight at the Renaissance Hotel near the port and took a shuttle for $6.00 a piece. We arrived at the port around 12:30pm and I kid you not, we were walking on the ship within 16 minutes. Unbelievable, pleasant and fun. Read more
