  1. " Buckanos, which we loved. we went in a stretch Cadillac"

     

    I ask for a taxi, had four teen aged girls with us, told us to wait by the wall....wife said "here's our ride" as a stretch limo pulls around...she about fainted when it was our ride. Those girls will never forget that day. It was one of our better days in Cozumel.

  2. I am going to agree with you in most areas. Solarium was very nice and a greater passenger to hot tub and pool ratio. There were a lot of things I just did not need on Allure though.

    My interior room seemed smaller and the bathroom while I liked the shower door was way smaller than any I've been on Carnival.

    Carnival owns comedy, even the headliner joked, "Largest ship on the sea, smallest comedy room"

    MDR food I found both good and nice to get something different for a change. I've had most everything on Carnival's MDR menu more than once.

    I was not blown away by RCI's Giovanni's, did not try Chops as an apples to apples comparison with Carnivals steak house (Always has been good).

    While I liked the big Allure and RCI did a great job moving that many people, the limited ports will keep me going on other ships. Not to mention I usually find their prices higher.

    People on both are great, I did not find the snobs many mention, and the party crowd has never been an issue on my five day or longer cruises.

    Find your best deal for the time you can go, or splurge and try something new. Enjoy cruising, and don't get your expectations too high.

  3. Don't cancel! Two first for me, RCI and Allure of the seas last week. Both better than I expected. RCI does a great job moving the larger crowds and the ships layout helps. Unlike what I've read, Windjammer was not over crowded from my experiences elsewhere, service was better than expected on such a large ship, my time dining waits, other than the first night, were minimal. Other than the entertainment access, no worse than anything I've been on. All that said, I really didn't find that great of a difference in the overall quality of my cruise with the exception of the ship. Allure and Oasis are in a class all on their own. would I go again? Sure! But not sold on one line being that much better than an other.
