ALLURE of the SEAS
Allure of the Seas
is an Oasis-class cruise ship owned and operated
by Royal Caribbean International. Together with
her sister ship, Oasis of the Seas, she holds
the record for the largest passenger ship ever
constructed, although Allure is 2" longer than
Oasis, making her technically the largest.
Designed under the name "Project Genesis",
Allure of the Seas was ordered from
Aker Finnyards in February 2006 and her
construction began at the Perno shipyard in
Turku, Finland, in February 2008. She was
named in May 2008 after a contest was held to
name her and her sister. Launched in 2010,
and weighing an incredible 225,282 gross
registered tons, Allure of the Seas could carry
5,400 guests. Although not an exact
duplicate of its sister ship,
the Oasis of the Seas,
both ships share some of the most innovative and
revolutionary features found on cruise ships
today, including a novel neighborhood concept
that divides the ship into seven distinct
spaces. It also shares inward-facing balcony
cabins, arguably the biggest (and best) kids
program at sea, an ice rink, a bar that rises
between three decks, simulated surfing, rock
climbing walls and an outdoor high-diving
AquaTheater.
Huge, but Allure of the Seas never
feels overwhelming because its public spaces are broken
up into seven neighborhoods. The ambience and atmosphere
in each area are so distinct, it's as if there are seven
different ships on one. On Deck 4, you'll find
Entertainment Place, complete with an indoor ice skating
rink and various clubs and lounges. The Royal Promenade
is the shopping area, the length of a football field,
with a pair of enormous tented skylights to let the
sunshine pour in.
The outdoor Boardwalk neighborhood was inspired by Coney
Island, with family-friendly restaurants, shops, a
carousel and the AquaTheater. The foliage-filled Central
Park -- covered in some 12,000 plants, 60 of which are
trees -- is a more upscale restaurant and retail hub.
The fronts of decks 6 and 7 are given over to fitness
and well-being in the Vitality at Sea Spa.
Deck 14 is all about the kids in Adventure Ocean, and,
at the back of the ship, right up on Deck 15, you have
the Sports Area, complete with FlowRider surf
simulators, a zipline, mini-golf, Ping-Pong and
basketball courts. Allure of the Seas also rarely feels
crowded. The only places where you get a sense of the
sheer number of people onboard are in the Royal
Promenade during parade times, on sea days round the
pool deck, and prime food times in the Windjammer Cafe
buffet restaurant.
Allure of the Seas is a
ship that celebrates youthful exuberance in the form of
surf simulators, rock climbing walls and some of the
best children's facilities at sea. But the ship also
clearly appeals to active couples, mainly in their 30s
to 50s. Numerous spaces, especially the foliage-filled
Central Park, provide a relatively kid-free ambience.
You can sit in Central Park under a tree, drink in hand,
stars above you, birdsong all around, and feel almost
alone -- despite being overlooked by hundreds of cabins.
