Royal Caribbean Allure of the seas

[Anonymous]

Has anyone cruised on this shop before? Thinking of booking a cruise but wondering if it's a good option for a 2 and 4 year old.

I've only done disney cruises but these huge ships intrigue me. I want to go on one for the spectacle of it all.

We cruised the Mediterranean from Rome a couple summers ago on Harmony of the Seas (a slightly newer version of the Allure, but basically the same). It is a great ship, and my kids (then 14, 11, and 8) all had a lot of fun. We had cruised with Disney several times before then, but the older 2 had kind of grown out of it. Not surprisingly, the entertainment options for kids was better on Disney--even the variety acts, like comedians, and there was simply no comparison between the kids' clubs, Disney just has that aspect won convincingly (part of the turn off on Harmony was that the clubs were empty--but we were in Europe--it may be different on these ships on a Caribbean cruise, where more families with young kids may be cruising).

Still, there will be plenty for your kids to do, and I wouldn't hesitate to take young kids on one of these ships.

One of the best ships for kids!

Keep in mind a 2 year old may not be able to use the regular pools on any cruise ship. But they might have a splashpad for the littles. We personally love the big ships. Rooms are a bit small. You can get two inside connecting rooms if you want privacy (often similar in price to one balcony room).
