I sailed Allure as a solo and loved it. A beautiful ship with lots to do. I had a balcony overlooking Central Park. I enjoyed the classical concerts in the park in the evening from the privacy of my balcony. The big negative is the smoking on the casino. This is only an issue for the smoke that escapes the casino, since I don't gamble. I know it bothered others I spoke with, and even drove them out of there. I hope RCCL finally wakes up and figures out few people want to smell that. Aside from that, I thought it was a great ship, particularly for children. They have ice skating, wave boarding, nice clubs, good shows. I am taking my sons, their wives and my grandchildren on Oasis next month. I know they will love it. Then I am back to the grown up cruise line, Celebrity, and am taking my companion on Equinox for his birthday. No smoking inside anywhere! It depend what you are looking for, but Oasis is moving to Port Canaveral next November and it is only 2 hours away from The Villages. I know I will sail this class of ship again. You sure get your exercise walking to the various venues.
