Year-round sailing to tropical destinations is a Royal Caribbean speciality and passengers are loving the experience. Hosting 5, passengers and 2, crew, a visit from Allure of the Seas is a tourism boon too good to miss and Caribbean locals are as welcoming as ever.

Allure adheres to stringent environmental guidelines and is energy and fuel efficient, recycling some of its own power. Allure produces its own fresh water thanks to huge seawater purification systems. Waste is retained in holding tanks for recycling and the ship itself is designed to limit drag under water.

Recent engineering and technological breakthroughs have resulted in a stable vessel that self-adjusts to wave motions and is remarkably manoeuvrable in smaller harbours. The end result is a cruise ship with a style all its own and large enough to accommodate everyone from solo travellers to extended families and sports teams.

Many passengers attribute the success of Allure to the unique neighbourhood concept that allows individual cruising expression. The seven distinct neighbourhoods facilitate smooth movement of passengers around the ship. Entertainments and activities of similar style are grouped together to attract specific passenger types. With 24 restaurant and dining venues onboard the choice between fine dining, buffet dining and fast food dining also reduces the incidence of bottlenecks, queues and overcrowding.

All in all, the neighbourhood approach is a winner.
