    Thank you for these tips. I have watched many videos, but I learn something new in every one. I’m going on Allure in 31 days and it will be my very first cruise. Going with my 3 daughters. This makes me excited.

    Thank you so much for those interesting and helpful tips & tricks! We'll be sailing Allure soon on a back to back, (3 & 4 day). I love the theme nights on Royal Caribbean, especially since we don't go out much at home! 😆 The Aqua shows are amazing! We saw one on Harmony and enjoyed every minute! Have fun and be safe on your future cruises!

    I watched all your videos on this cruise and enjoyed all of it. Very informative and funny. I’m going on the allure with my wife and two teenage daughters. Question you mentioned the dinner packages but not the drink package did you guys feel it was a necessity or pay as you go was just fine. Thx

    Thanks so much for your kind words! In our opinion, you need to do the math on the drink package. We came out pretty much even with drinks, but didn't drink nearly as much as we could have (not a bad thing). The average drinks are $9-$14 so we'd say, look at what the drink package would cost on your cruise and see if you could make each day worth it. We're sailing on a longer cruise with more stops in the fall and we're not doing the drink package as we plan to be off the ship a lot more. If we were to do this exact Bahamas sailing again, I think we'd get the drink package to be honest. Sorry if that was a lot! Hope you have the best time on your cruise!

    Thank you! We are going to step onboard in July 2025. They are supposed to refresh the ship in early 2025 so it may look a little different by the time we get onboard!

    I'd expect it to reflect some of the changes made to other Oasis class ships - maybe the loss of Sabor? Time will tell! Hope you have a great cruise next year!

    What do you recommend choosing room; which deck and which side(front/back/middle/left/right) more comfortable for stay?

    Great question. This really varies by person. If you're susceptible to motion sickness, low and mid is best. If not and you prefer to be closer to the action, try something higher up with a balcony if you can swing it. This ship has the interior balcony staterooms as well which are intriguing but we were always skeptical of how much noise came through from the central park area. Overall decide what your priorities are and look up deck plans to make sure you're not right next to a dance club (or below it). The ship certainly has a space for everyone!
