Aft on Deck 6/Boardwalk there is a stern-facing viewing area accessed via a path that circles around the AquaTheater. This "secret area" offers great views of the ship’s wake (trace on the water surface), also provides great views of the entire neighborhood and has a shuffleboard. There's a secret fore-located/bow-facing sundeck on Deck 14, accessed from the forward lifts by walking through the hallways.
Allure of the Seas review: What it's like to cruise on 1 of Royal Caribbean's oldest Oasis Class ships
With a capacity of nearly 7,000 guests, it’s important to have plenty of pool space on Allure of the Seas, and you’ll find several areas to keep cool on warm Caribbean days. Allure of the Seas is a destination within itself that offers more than enough to do, experience, and eat for guests of all ages. From adrenaline-filled activities like surfing and zip lining to enjoying world class, diverse cuisine, there’s no shortage of ways to keep busy onboard. The lineup of scheduled daytime activities is staggering, and it offers something for passengers of all ages, interests and activity levels, whether they prefer trivia, surfing or something in between.
Royal Suite
On a two-day preview cruise of the ship, the characters seemed to be everywhere--the sail away party show at the AquaTheater, the Move It! Parade on the Royal Promenade, the DreamWorks character breakfast in the Adagio Dining Room, and in an ice show in Studio B. Although much has been said about the size of the Allure of the Seas and Oasis of the Seas, the ships are only about 65 feet longer than other Royal Caribbean ships.
CARIBBEAN CRUISES
The OceanAria water show is shown six times per week, with two performances on each of the first three nights of the cruise. If the weather cancels one of these nights, the shows are rescheduled for later in the week. Dial up the thrills on Allure of the Seas®— the biggest, boldest ship to ever sail from the Lone Star State. Hang ten on the FlowRider® surf simulator, indulge in gourmet globetrotting with 19 restaurants to choose from and enjoy nights packed with jaw-droppingly good entertainment on stage, ice, air and water. All while sailing to the best sun-soaked shores of Cozumel, Puerto Costa Maya and Roatán. A daily stateroom attendant dedicated to making sure your stay is spectacular.
Boardwalk
Making reservations to signature production shows is important, too, and it’s recommended that you do so as soon as you get onboard on embarkation day. At night, resort casual is acceptable in most restaurants on most nights. That means Polo-style shirts with nice shorts, jeans or slacks for men and either a sundress or nice jeans or slacks with a blouse for women. If you're sailing on Allure of the Seas, you can bring up to two bottles of wine or Champagne per cabin.

In addition to the main pool deck is an adults-only Solarium for guests aged 16 and above. Inside the Solarium is one pool and four hot tubs, two of which cantilever over the side of Allure of the Seas. Padded lounge chairs and other comfortable seating are also available. You already know that Sabor is one of my absolute favorite restaurants on any cruise ship, and I was ecstatic to find that it still exists on a couple of Royal Caribbean's ships, including Allure of the Seas. I ate there twice during my voyage and stuffed myself with some of the best guacamole I've ever tasted, along with chicken tinga burritos, tortilla soup, cheese quesadillas and fish tacos.
According to the Adventure Ocean manager, this works about 90 percent of the time. One rule is strict--babies must be fully toilet-trained before they can move from the Royal Babies group to the Aquanauts. No pull-ups or diapers are allowed at Adventure Ocean activities.
On Deck 15 aft, tweens and teens have their own areas, separate from the younger kids. It's supervised but less structured with a "come and go as you please" policy, whereas younger children must be signed in and out of Adventure Ocean by a parent or guardian. The space also includes a sizable fitness center with for-fee classes and personal training, along with equipment that's free to use. These include LifeFitness cardio machines, weight machines, free weights, yoga mats, kettlebells and exercise balls.

Passengers booked in more expensive cabins receive individual mini-bottles of the line's branded shower gel, lotion, shampoo and conditioner. Allure of the Seas' spa and fitness area on Deck 6 is impressive. It offers a full battery of added-cost spa treatments (massages, facials, IV treatments, cellulite reduction, acupuncture), salon and barber services (haircuts, manicures and pedicures) and a thermal suite. If you find yourself fleeing a gang of ghosts, saving deep space from invaders, or starting a dance revolution, you might be at the Royal Caribbean Arcade. Your favorite games from the 1980s and 1990s are onboard, as well as Guitar Hero, Fast and Furious Drift, Skee-ball, air hockey and more.

In other areas of the ship, ghosts of amenities past haunt the deck plans. Looking for Jazz on 4, which is still found on paper maps and directional ship models? You won't find it because it was converted to a nonsmoking casino years ago. At times, the nostalgic feel held over from original iterations of the Oasis class crosses the line into outdated or confusing.
In the end, I had to call guest services, and they added the booking manually. It was an issue more than once during the voyage — so much so that I resorted to calling guest services first rather than fussing with the app. I have mixed feelings about cruise mobile apps in general, often finding them glitchy at best and nonfunctional at worst. Historically, I've had little trouble with Royal Caribbean's app, but I found it frustrating to make reservations for shows on Allure of the Seas.
Those with a sweet tooth love the Cupcake Cupboard, and the area even has the first Starbuck's at sea. Those who want to do more than just relax by the pool can try out one of the two large FlowRider surf simulators, the zip line across Central Park, miniature golf, or basketball, volleyball, or soccer on the Sports Court. Our next venue is mostly outdoors on decks 15 and 16--the Pool and Sports Zone. Other venues at Entertainment Place include Jazz on 4, a jazz and blues club; Comedy Live, a comedy club; and the Blaze nightclub. As far as dining and lounge venues are concerned, I did not have any complaints with what was available on Allure of the Seas.
For the ultimate date night, head to Giovanni’s℠ Table, an authentic Old-World experience where every dish tastes just like nonna would’ve intended, and where the wine list spotlights tasty reds and whites from around the world. Allure of the Seas® offers fun-filled thrills for kids at Adventure Ocean®. And parents can kick back and get on island time at the adults-only Solarium, where the views are endless and the atmosphere is always perfect for unwinding. Whatever kind of vibe you’re looking for on your vacation, Allure of the Seas® checks all the boxes.
