Allure of the Seas - Review

Review by our newest Cruise Crazy! 


Amanda C From QANTAS Direct




My favourite cruise line would have to be Royal Caribbean,  in 2011 I went on a 7night Caribbean cruise in a Ocean View Balcony Cabin on board Allure of the Seas the largest cruise ship in the world. We went to Nassau, St Thomas and St Marrten which is The Eastern Caribbean.  Apart from seeing amazing destinations that are like nothing you have seen before you will need to find time to see and do everything on the boat like walking through Allure of the Seas very own Central Park or take the kids to The Boardwalk.

4 pools and 10whirlpool including an Adults only area

Allure of the Seas offers about 18 different dining options most of which are included in you cruise price however there are also speciality restaurants that can be prebooked for a small fee usually $15-$20pp I would strongly suggest these are prebooked as they book out really quickly. I personally have experienced Giovanni's Table which was just to die for definitely well worth paying the extra for a treat one night. The food however in the main dinning room is also amazing with different meal options every night, you have a chose of a 5course meal every night.

  1. You lucky thing!

    I can't wait to go on either Oasis or Allure.

    A few questions, being such a big ship, did it ever feel crowded?

    How was boarding, and disembarkation?

    Did you get to see the whole ship?

    Cheers Vicki?

  2. Hey Vicki,

    Boarding and disembarkation were all very well organised and done very smoothly for such a massive ship. Boarding the boat beings about 12pm, we checked in about 1330-1400 and we didn't have any lines staff are fabulous. Disembarking at ports is just as smooth they have it all down packed the biggest lines is when you are actually getting off the ship however no different then an airport.
    The ship is so big you never really know how many people are on the only time it was crowded is they have a couple of parades in the main area of the boat and that's the only time you realise the amount of people on one boat.
    Thanks Amanda
