Rare Travelw Posted December 1, 2020 #1 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I know Allure was set to be amplified March 2020. Can’t seem to find if it happened or not. Any info would be appreciated. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mapleleafforever Posted December 1, 2020 #3 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Sadly no as she really needs it IMO. She got her propulsion system fixed apparently though which is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare steamboats Posted December 5, 2020 #5 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Nope, they only did the needed work to get her classified again and they worked on the azipods. Everything else (Amplification) was cancelled. Maybe they do this in 2022 as the Allure is returning to the Med in 2022. steamboats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strathcona Posted December 5, 2020 #11 Share Posted December 5, 2020 was on the Allure just before the world stop. she had a problem with propulsion system in one of the pods. she was sailing a bit slow on our cruise. we all have opinion on the amp being done on the OASIS class. i for one hate the big slide and the diamond lounge being moved. So Allure is not going to be Amp for a while now since RCL will not have the money. She is a very nice ship as is. Already booked for Ft Lauderdale sailing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pratique Posted December 5, 2020 #12 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Pretty safe bet at least some of the refresh will occur when she sails back to Europe in 2022. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the parts are already fabricated as they were waiting to build them in. So I doubt this will have to wait til 2025. And so far RCG has taken over the newbuildts (like Celebrity Apex) and the the Odyssey of the Seas has only been delayed due to the ship yard restrictions. So I don´t think money is the reason they won´t do it. And there actually is no reason to send the ship to the Med in 2022. steamboats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the Oasis class ships out of Barcelona have been very successful and there wasn't one that was die for a drydock this year. I don't think they will do the full range of additions they had planned however I think they will do some of the additions that are the least costly that add some of the WOW factor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted December 5, 2020 #20 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I was on the Allure beginning of Jan. 2020 and found her to be just fine other the work needed for the propulsion which was done while she has been sitting in Europe. I personally do not care for the purple slide abyss but they didn't ask me! Our cabin was in great shape and I did not see any reason to upgrade her, just regular maintenance should be fine. If you book for 2022 I am sure you will enjoy everything she has to offer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would book one of the first three Boardwalk balconies from the end so I could sit on the balcony at night and watch all the Aqua shows and movies. I tried it once with the purple slide and discovered it blocked over 60% of the view. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
