We had the great pleasure of getting on Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas for a few hours, with 7 distinct neighborhoods, 25 dining opportunities, and 2,384 crew members on this ship, there is sure to have something to please everyone in your group!
Allure of the Seas, the newest ship in Royal Caribbean's awe-inspiring Oasis® class, is a captivating adventure unlike any other. Explore seven distinct neighborhoods filled with awesome new features – like the first Starbucks® at sea, Tony Award®-winning Broadway musical Chicago in the main theater, and favorite moments with Shrek, Po the panda, and more friends in the DreamWorks® Experience. Spice up your sailing with margaritas and Mexican-fare favorites at Rita's Cantina, or with prime cuts straight from the skewer at Samba Grill Brazilian Steakhouse. And there's still plenty more Oasis-class WOWs to be had, from the classic carousel on the Boardwalk®, to aerial acrobats in the AquaTheater, FlowRider® surf simulators, pluszip line views over Central Park®—a meandering garden lined with shops and fine restaurants.
NEW Sailing Europe in 2015
Here’s one for the history books. In summer 2015, Allure of the Seas® will sail European waters, departing round trip from Barcelona and Civitavecchia near Rome. It’s cruising like Europe has never seen before. And you can be a part of it.
