1-10 of 3,142 Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas Cruise Reviews
I just rejoined Cruise Critic after a long absence. My wife and I are taking about 2 cruises per month on Carnival and Royal. We live 30 min from Port Canaveral. The Allure is a beautiful ship with a great staff. Everyday, we were met with smiles whether it was the front desk, the casino, or the Foodjammer . We were greeted by name in some of the shops and the casino also. This was our Diamond+ ...
Many time cruiser but first on the Royal mega-size. Exceeded expectations, yes there are 6000 people but they're spread out and there are some nice places to hang out without crowds like the Central Park.
Had five grandchildren along (ages 3 to 14) and they all found fun things to do. Coco Cay day was impacted by cold rain but I'm sure when the weather is nice it's even better.
Liked the ...
We have been on over 20 cruises, and Allure of the Seas was wonderful. We found the employees to be super friendly, and also the food was very good. We enjoyed the variety of music and entertainment. Even without the shows, there was always something going on with contests, trivia, games, dance moves, multiple pools, and shopping. We booked four cabins in different areas, and they were all ...
Never experienced this kind of hospitality. Ever. All of the crew. Loved meeting every one of you! Very clean ship. Didn’t even see a cobweb. Statesman for my room was the best. He made my stay! Thank you sooooo much Elmer Fudd (really, that is his name)!!! You are amazing and we love you in Virginia! The most relaxed I have been in many years. Great room and slept like a baby. The only negative ...
Food was some of the best in over 25 cruises. Ships entertainment was a ten. All the shows of course had to be picked and reservation made in advance. Terminal was easy in and out. No complaints absolutely perfect highly recommended. Adult pools and places were so quiet and alot of variety of places to find to be alone especially if you like to sunbath and read. Best part was staffing was the most ...
We chose this cruise as a "get our feet wet" family cruise, and it was also our oldest sons senior high school cruise. He is 17 and we have 2 other boys 9 and 16.
Boarding went smooth and we were all excited to see this magnificent ship up close - once we boarded, the entire ship smelled like a port-a-potty - YUK - so Allure smelled a lot like manure - but eventually that went away, and we ...
We went on a family cruise and this ship was extremely overcrowded and you never could get a table for breakfast! It's literally elbow to elbow! Very overwhelming! Also the fine dining food was very disappointing and nothing special. There wasn't anything for kids to do and all the shows were packed and boring! This cruise is not kid friendly nor fun for anyone. We were very disappointed and will ...
The cruise ship itself was large and clean. The staff though was not trained very well and confusing to talk with. I had purchased the soft drink package which comes with a cup to use at the drink stations. I thought this might be addressed at the check in but that was basically a glance at your passport and sent aboard. I could not find any information other than to see guest services so I did ...
This was an all around bad experience. Maybe the worst vacation I've ever been on actually. We are new to cruising, and had very high hopes. Choose not to disembark at a stop and nothing is open during the day- even though the weather was awful and most people didn't leave the boat. All the restaurants shut down mid day, the Flow rider is closed, the basketball court is constantly closed or ...
Why this cruise? Took place over mid-winter break for the kids from school, and we were able to take advantage of the Kids Sail Free promotion, making the cost of the cruise, and the 2 Bedroom Aqua Theater suite (Star class!), very doable.
Check-in and boarding was insanely easy and quick. Arrived at the port about 10:30 and boarding had already begin. Looking around the terminal, there were ...
