Ashland Posted January 18, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Either is just fine. Cruise for the itinerary. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vacationlover_mn Posted January 18, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 18, 2023 We are Oasis class fans, and we loved them both! Either of them will give you a good feel for Oasis class, and if you like one, you can always do the other one later 🙂. I know there are a few differences (that I can’t remember), so I suggest Thinking about what is important to you, then compare the differences between the ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted January 18, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Another vote for pick for port and itinerary. Yes, Harmony is newer, though I like the layout of CK/SL better on Allure, plus would love to see Momma Mia show which is on Allure. Otherwise, they are both Oasis class ships...not that much different. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajathree Posted January 18, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) Harmony is newer and had slides...Alure never got retrofit to update to other Oasis class ships. Harmony does not have a pool in the solarium like other oasis class ships. Edited January 18, 2023 by bajathree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renza Posted January 18, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Both our fine but Allure is our favorite. Love the pool in solarium and love that it has not been amplified. I dislike the huge purple slide in boardwalk that all oasis class have except Allure. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If OP is looking to sail in 2024, it looks like the ships will swap home ports. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalves Posted January 18, 2023 #10 Share Posted January 18, 2023 The differences between the two ships are fairly minor. I'd go with whichever itinerary you prefer. Or perhaps whichever has the better price once you include transportation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatka Posted January 18, 2023 #14 Share Posted January 18, 2023 What is important for you on the ship? Allure is lacking waterslides, but is it important for you? Do side by side comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very excited, first time in Galveston, Roatan and Puerto Costa Maya! We've been on at least 2 cruised that never made it to Roatan (Hurricane/weather). Hoping the 3rd will be the charm. I'm hoping the new terminal in Galveston lives up the the positive reviews I've read about it. I just hope it isn't a cloudy day as it is completely solar powered! That's a joke, BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph2017China Posted January 18, 2023 #21 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I am going on Wonder of the Seas in a few months. This is the first time, and about 8 years that I am going on a ship, that I picked the ship, and not the ports. I travel internationally, and have been on every class of ship, but I pick where I am going first, and the ship, follows. The Wonder has 3 sea days, and one coco cay day, which is why the ship is important. My point is, the vacation is how you want it to be, ports, or ships, or both etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just one of a minimum of 4 people that usually cruise as part of a group. So, I go with the flow. However, if I had my way, I'd pick the ship first then the number of sea day. My destination is the ship and the sea. So, the larger the ship and the more the sea days, the happier I am. However, there are only two destinations that I pushback on, Bahamas and Jamaica. I have nothing but negativity towards those two. But, that's for another time and another thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ozark_Kid Posted January 18, 2023 #24 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Another difference is the specialty restaurants offered. Harmony has Jamie's, which we have had enough of, Allure has Giovanni's which we plan to eat at twice next week. Harmony has Wonderland which we enjoyed. Allure has Samba Grill which is good. With that said you should enjoy them both. I do miss the water slides when on the Allure. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
