Having sailed on Allure twice I can say they have it down to a science, smoothest embarkation ever! Mariner out of Port Canaveral was the worst. Did the all access tour on Allure in January its a well run operation especially with the number of people they deal with every week.

Definitely had a great time, the Allure is an awesome ship. They have the embarkation process mastered, i parked my car at 11:22 and was on the ship in about 12 minutes! quickest i have ever got on a ship. Disembarkation was equally smooth. Entertainment was great, we had many options - more than you could ever see in a 7 night cruise, since this was a charter we had additional entertainment options including Cheyenne Jackson which was a pleasant surprise, he performed a great show. The Chicago show is not to miss. Perfect weather until the last day as we got closer to Florida the temps did drop. I had a boardwalk balcony room on deck 12, and loved it, we had several boardwalk / aqua theater parties so lots of action to see. The ship had 5499 passengers but other than the parties did not seem crowded with so much to do. Never had a problem finding loungers on the pool deck. You definitely get exercise on a ship this size! Would I go on it again? you betcha I re booked for next year onboard. Scott
