Wow, what an unbelievable ship! Mark and I just returned from a 2-day pre-inaugural sailing on Royal Caribbean's brand new and biggest ship... the Allure of the Seas! We checked out every area of the ship and really had a wonderful time.
One of the many neat features on the Allure is the digital signage they have placed around the ship for the passengers use. You get up-to-the-minute, real-time communication for departure information, restaurant availability, entertainment information and more. You can also use the interactive screens to map your way to virtually anywhere on the ship!
Their state-of-the-art theater, the Amber Theater, featured some amazing shows! On the first night we enjoyed "Blue Planet"... with powerful music, soaring vocals, energetic dance and aerial acrobatics it just left us breathless. Next we saw "Chicago" and it was an incredible musical. The Allure certainly has an extremely talented cast onboard for sure!
Of course the many restaurants, lounges, bars and dining venues are fun and the food is great! We enjoyed some fantastic dinners onboard and well as other fun treats. The Rising Tide bar is definitely one not to miss... it slowly moves up and down between deck 5 and 8, from Central Park above to the Royal Promenade below.
And of course I can't forget to mention the great activities onboard the Allure as well! Some of you may have tried a zip line before, perhaps on an excursion in port... but I have to say there is nothing like being suspended nine decks above the Boardwalk to give you a birds-eye view of the action below as you speeeed across the open-air atrium. We went back and did it a couple times. And don't forget the FlowRider. There are two of these surf simulators onboard! It's a little bit of a challenge to keep your balance if you've never surfed before but once you get the hang of it... it's a blast!
We certainly did more than I mentioned here but just wanted to give you a taste of the highlights. :)
The Allure of the Seas is a must-see for your next cruise! I'll try to get some pictures posted soon!
