10 things I hated about the Royal Caribbean - Oasis Class cruise ship

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a detailed critique of her experience aboard the Allure of the Seas, focusing on ten specific aspects of large mega ships that she found frustrating. She begins with the embarkation process, describing it as poorly managed and disorganized due to large crowds and unhelpful staff. Her complaints extend to the difficulty of booking entertainment, the prevalence of aggressive shopping and upselling in the promenade, and the lack of movement from the rising tide bar. She also highlights issues with event congestion, specifically regarding a Halloween costume parade held in a cramped area, and the lack of organization in theater standby lines. Additionally, she notes a lack of personal connection with entertainment staff on such a large vessel. Financial frustrations are a major theme, including the cost of watching movies in staterooms, the requirement for solo travelers to pay double for certain shore excursions, and high fees for room service and individual sodas. Despite these grievances, she concludes that the ship itself is beautiful and the entertainment is fantastic, noting that her criticisms are intended to highlight areas for improvement rather than to diminish her overall enjoyment of the cruise.
