Allure of the Seas
Ever fancied a cruise, in particular a cruise on one of the biggest cruise ships in the world?
Royal Caribbean Cruises sent there mega ship the Allure of the seas on its maiden voyage in December 2010. For many this was a holiday in a life time.
The ship itself is more than just a ship; it’s like a floating city. At nearly 1200 feet long, 200 foot high comprising of 16 decks and being capable of holding over 6000 guests it is safe to say that this cruise liner is huge.
As well as your standard inside and outside cabins there is also a choice of deluxe state rooms and suites which quite honestly are the size of a small house and if you are wanting a luxury holiday then one of these rooms is a must.
To give an example as to what you would find in a suite the Royal Loft Suite has two floors (see, literally the size of a house) separate bedrooms, a Jacuzzi on your own private balcony, there is a wet bar plus 2 areas for dining and entertaining and then if you fancy putting your musical talents into practice there is also a baby grand piano.
Over the 16 decks there is a wealth of entertainment, activities and dining experiences to be explored. You can find food to suite all tastes in the Allure of the Seas many restaurants; the ship also has its own Starbucks cafe.
If you want to learn to surf, the ship has 2 ‘flowriders’ which create amazing waves for practicing your surfing technique. If you want to get away from all the hustle and bustle why not take a walk through Central Park. This isn’t central park New York; this is the first at sea park which hosts thousands of plants to enjoy. The ship has its own zip wire for those wanting those wanting a little more excitement than just lazing by the pool. Talking about relaxation you could visit the onboard spa and unwind with a massage.
The ship is geared up for children as well with carousel rides, a Youth and H20 zone where kids can run around or get wet whilst. You can also meet and get a photo taken with your favourite movie character as Shrek, Fiona and Kung Fu Panda can be found also holidaying on board ship. If you’re children are really lucky they may also join you for dinner. For both the adults and the children you can take in a 3D film in the cinema.
Evening entertainment is where you will find the ship really does come alive. There are fantastic shows for all the family. The children and teenagers can be entertained in dedicated kid’s zones whilst you try your hand roulette in the Casino Royal. The Blaze nightclub offers all night dancing or you could quite simply take a moonlit stroll along the ships promenade!
