Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas Cruise Ship 2026 | Our Honest Full Review | The Good, Bad & Ugly
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators provide a comprehensive review of the Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas following a 150 million dollar renovation. They evaluate their seven night Mediterranean voyage by categorizing their experiences into good, bad, and ugly sections. The positive aspects highlighted include the spacious ocean view balcony staterooms, the diverse activities offered by the Oasis class design, and the lush atmosphere of Central Park. They also praise the high quality of entertainment, such as the Mamma Mia musical and the Aqua8s 2 show, as well as the efficiency of the dining services and the exceptional crew. Conversely, the bad experiences involve awkward television placement in cabins, loud slamming doors, and heavy smoke drifting from the casino. They also note ingredient substitutions in Mediterranean ports and the potential for weather related show cancellations. The controversial ugly aspect focuses on the Pesky Parrot venue, which they felt attracted an overwhelming number of children to a bar area. Despite these critiques, the creators conclude that the ship is an excellent choice for a vacation and that they would happily sail on it again.

We love the showers on these class of ships and especially on Allure of the Seas because the shower has plenty of space.
The crew on this ship did such a phenomenal job across the board.
Overall, after all of our good, our bad, and our ugly, I think the answer is absolutely we would.
