Just returned from a lovely Oceania Allura Caribbean cruise January 16 to 28. We are “veteran” Oceania cruisers with past cruises on Marina (5) and Visa (1). We were in cabin A1 Concierge level, large deck near back of ship. The Good: Embarkation process was excellent with minimal waiting. Cabin availability was promised for, and delivered exactly at, 2:00 PM. Ship is brand new and squeaky clean with nice color themes throughout! Staff super focused on service and smiling and greeting Senior officers and restaurant managers were genuinely interested in feedback and suggestions Oceania delivered on it’s food promise in both taste and presentation. The portion sizes allow you to enjoy an array of appetizers, salads, main courses and desserts without being stuffed!! The breadsticks are still OUTSTANDING!! Specialty restaurants were a standout from a food quality, portion size, snd presentation. Dover sole at Toscana was more than excellent!! Sea Bass at Red Ginger still impresses. While the food was very good, service tended to be a rushed in Polo restaurant with little time to take a breath between soup, salad, and main course. Nice to see the Jacques specialty restaurant back as we did not like Embers very much on Vista. A return to self service in Terrace Cafe was appreciated and passengers seemed to be careful with utensils - never saw fingers being used. Cabin was outfitted as requested, as I’m an amputee - chair in shower and lounge chairs on oversized A1 category deck. Cabin was quiet and only a little motion on rough days. Bathroom is EXCELLENT in almost all aspects. Clothes closet that opens onto walkway versus bedside is great. Cabin stewards were VERY attentive and every phone request was handled in under 2 minutes. Had 3 shirts ironed on arrival (48 hour turnaround) and the starch and press job was excellent. At several ports with long walks to security gates or excursion pick up, there were many wheelchair “helpers” about for those who needed them. Biometric scanning for leaving and returning to Allura very convenient - no fumbling for cards There were always deck chairs available - not as much reserving or hogging as seen on past cruises Future cruise reps are VERY knowledgeable - ask for your free Oceania baseball hat. Disembarkation was handled well with good communication. We opted for breakfast in cabin and it was delivered at precisely the time requested. It is worth noting that if you make your own transportation arrangements, you can disembark as soon as the 1st group is called. We left the ship at 7:50, got our bags, and were driving on I-95 by 8:10 AM. It’s also worth noting that if you park at the Cruise Terminal garages in Miami, cars that are adapted (hand controls or left foot accelerator) or are showing a valid handicap sticker, park for FREE!! The Not So Good: Allura lounge is like Vista - abysmal floor slope creates poor sightline (tough to see below performers’ waist) and seats aren’t staggered between rows meaning your look at the back of the passenger’s head who is sitting in front of of you. And, those passengers were ALL over 6 feet tall or had very big hair Shrimp cocktail in main dining room used to be “special” but now is simply 3 limp and less than medium sized disappointments. Attentiveness of sommeliers varied from excellent to “where are they??” - We had wine and beer complimentary with meals and there was high variability on needing to show both, one, or no cabin cards to finish meal. Aquamar toiletries not as good as Bulgari line on previous cruises, especially shampoo We qualified for 3 free laundry services but with 3 day turn around we just did our own Passengers took liberties with defining club casual dress - bath robes in Terrace Cafe (same person twice) many many unbuttoned floral shirts with tee shirts in specialty restaurants Only the elevator bank at front of ship goes to deck 5 - it creates a HUGE crush when entertainment finishes in Allura lounge (deck 5). Some passengers walked down to deck 4 to catch elevator which made wait times even worse for those in scooters etc. Recommend yo choose a midship or forward cabin if you don’t use stairs much! I’ll be picky by saying they don’t put enough breadsticks in the bread baskets ….. 3 for 4 people are not enough. Don’t be afraid to ask for more ….. The library is small, uninteresting, and less than inviting. Reading chairs are placed in front of book shelves thus blocking access. The Aquamar Spa Deck has a few design quirks - All of the lounge chairs are fully exposed to sun. Only the tiled and heated “S” lounges are under shade. There are 4 hot tubs where the 2 under partial cover would likely have been sufficient. Deck use was never over 50%. Glimpses of the plans for the new Sonata ship seem to address most of these issues. The Don’t Know Enough to Comment: Walked through concierge lounge once. Looked nice. Went to Baristas once and it is very well appointed. Did not order anything. Did not try Crepes/Waffles in Baristas as sweets in the afternoon are not our thing. Other passengers gushed about it! Did not try evening Pizza at Waves but other passengers raved about it! There's a perfect cruise line for everyone! Right now, ours is Oceania!!
