Allure of the Seas was the second Oasis-class ship to enter service, debuting in 2010 as one of the largest cruise ships ever built. In April 2025 she emerged from a $100 million amplification with a wave of new features, including the Ultimate Abyss dry slide, the three-slide Perfect Storm waterslide trio, and reimagined dining and nightlife venues. She retains the neighbourhood layout that defined the class: Central Park's living garden, the carnival-style Boardwalk, and the open-air AquaTheater. Post-refit, she sails 6- and 8-night Caribbean itineraries from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with stops at Perfect Day at CocoCay, before repositioning seasonally to Galveston and Miami.

✦ The standout feature

The newly added Ultimate Abyss dry slide and Perfect Storm waterslide trio (Typhoon, Cyclone, and the champagne-bowl SuperCell) — Allure was the last Oasis-class ship to get them, and her 2025 amplification finally brought her in line with her sisters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What changed in Allure of the Seas' 2025 amplification?
Royal Caribbean spent over $100 million adding The Ultimate Abyss dry slide, the Perfect Storm waterslide trio (Typhoon, Cyclone and SuperCell), Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade, El Loco Fresh, and refreshed venues across the Boardwalk and Central Park, bringing Allure's features closer in line with her Oasis-class sisters.
Where does Allure of the Seas sail from in 2026?
Allure splits the year between Fort Lauderdale, Galveston and Miami, sailing 6- and 8-night Western, Eastern and Southern Caribbean itineraries with regular stops at Perfect Day at CocoCay.
Is Allure of the Seas the same as Oasis of the Seas?
They're near-identical Oasis-class sisters — Allure is technically about 50mm longer due to steel variance during construction. Design-wise they share Central Park, the Boardwalk and the AquaTheater, though each has slightly different specialty restaurants and post-refit features.
What's the best cabin category on Allure of the Seas?
Boardwalk-view balconies overlook the AquaTheater and carnival-style promenade, while Central Park-view balconies are quieter and greener. Budget travellers do well with interior cabins, and the Royal Loft Suite is the top pick for a splurge.
