Creator's Key Takeaways

I didn't love the location of the Schooner Bar. It overlooked the Promenade, so the sounds of people milling about and the background music actually competed with the piano player.

I loved the variety of the included food on the Promenade, the Boardwalk, the pool deck, in Central Park, and of course the main dining room and Windjammer buffet.

I wanted to love it, but I did not. Although the food was good, the service was very slow.

So would I sail again on Allure of the Seas? I'd say yes, if I'm up for facing the crowds as a trade-off to having all the great benefits of a mega ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Plan to see the aqua show earlier in your sailing in case it gets canceled due to weather.
Get to the Windjammer buffet early before the big crowds show up.

Dealing with crowds on a mega shipBe prepared for crowds and less personalized service; consider a mid-size or small ship for a more relaxing experience.
Getting a seat for popular activitiesShow up very early if you want a seat for karaoke or trivia.
