Inaugural Cruise on the
Allure of the Seas

by Norm
(Ohio, USA)

My Sally and I are travel agents so got invited to "try out" the brand new Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas.

What a fantastic ship! We have sailed on all sizes of ships and I always thought these types ships would be too crowded and just to big for my liking. We loved it! We never felt crowded at all.

The Allure has a living park called Central Park, great for taking a stroll in or visiting the many restaurants and shops. You can just take a seat on one of the many nicely located park benches and read or people watch if you like.

Take a walk on the Boardwalk to enjoy themed restaurants, ride the full size carousel and the amazing aqua theater.

This ship is the destination because there is so much to do and see. You will not be bored!

I think one of our favorite memories had to be meeting up with other travel agents to discuss the Allure at the Rising Tide Bar. The Rising Tide gently moves up and down between 3 decks of the ship.

Hi Norm,

Thanks so much for sharing this story with us. Wow, sitting at a bar with a rising tide... that sounds for sure exciting to me.

Would love to cruise on the "Allure of the Seas" myself one day.
