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 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.
