Our 12th O cruise. Beautiful new ship. Bathroom on our deck 8 balcony cabin was I need to wash just like people you’re in a hurry to larger with larger walk in shower. Lots more shaded area on pool deck but O is not even trying to deal with people dropping off items to save shaded lounges that are almost all taken by 7 AM. Often unused until late morning. Entertainment okay. Production dancers and singers did a good job. Most unusual performance had the string quartet doing a terrific tribute to Queen. Good variety for breakfast and lunch in the buffet. Main dining room was just OK for the most part and service was spotty. They definitely did not have enough wine servers. Three of the four specialty restaurants were good as always, but the French restaurant, Jacques, fell far short of what we are used to with inattentive Service, bland seasonings, and main courses barely above room temperature. Excursions ranged from excellent to a waste of time. Garden of Barbados was memorable. De Palm Island snorkeling in Aruba had zero live coral but did have a decent assortment of colorful fish. I was pleasantly surprised by the food and alcoholic drinks included in the tour. Plenty of shaded seating, a water park, a floating inflatable play area and more. Discover Granada was a lot of driving over poorly maintained roads to see almost nothing of interest. The rum factory produces 150 proof un-aged Molotov cocktail fuel with aging equipment on its last legs. Driver guide did all he could to make it enjoyable but it’s not a tour I’d recommend. Finally, O enjoys terrific passenger loyalty. More than 70% of the passengers on this one were repeat customers. Passenger list has always trended toward older, but the last two we’ve been on were positively geriatric: motorized, scooters and walkers jammed the elevators. It wasn’t the age, it was the level of decrepitude that was a little startling.
Oceania Allura is a beautifully appointed vessel, but let's face it, there's not a lot new in the ship design, The finishes are luxurious but much of that translates to nicer chairs in the lounges and bars, fancier chandeliers in the MDR, and plush carpet in the halls. The food is top-notch but Oceania needs to put more effort into their desserts. Baristas was great and the Creperie was a lovely touch. The staff in all areas were fantastic! Lots of smiles and everyone went out of their way to make our cruise a pleasure. We asked our room attendant for towel animals and she gladly made them each evening. So much fun! Embarkation in Miami was a breeze but disembarkation was total chaos! Everyone had to leave via one door on Deck 6. With all the wheel chairs, walkers and scooters, everything backed up and people called to exit at 8 AM were not off the ship until after 9. There were only two customs agents in the terminal so getting through customs added to a lot of frustration and waiting in huge lines. I realize that's not Oceania's fault but it left a sour taste.
The Oceania Allura is a beautiful, clean and well laid out ship. Oceana considers itself a small luxury ship holding 1000 passengers with about a 1-1 ratio of passengers to crew. We appreciated that everything we possibly needed to fully enjoy our journey was included; the gratuities, wi-fi, food and specialty restaurants were all covered! The dining surroundings were visually "first class" - even their buffet, which they called the Terrace Café. Art adorned every wall on the ship. As seasoned cruisers, we can truly say the food was better than any other cruise line we have ever sailed, with only one main dining room, 4 specialty restaurants and a few casual upscale dining options. We were treated well by all the crew and service staff. The bars were few but with top notch drinks at each of their venues. My favorite was the smoked drinks at the Founders Bar. The Martini Bar had a wonderful drink called Bogart's Casa Blanca. YUM! Our concierge balcony veranda cabin was quite spacious. We had a special lounge available to us that we could use, but we never did. There were so many things to see and do on the ship that kept us busy, we had little time to just "veg". We played many of the daily games the activity staff had lined up including corn hole, miniature golf putting, ball on a string toss and trivia. We did visit their lovely Library a few times to check out board games and work on puzzles. The enrichment / destination talk left little to be desired on this particular voyage. We prefer someone who can speak 'first hand' about the places they have traveled and that we will be visiting with a map from the port as opposed to reading us a list of places that are somewhere on that island. Tea time was fun with a variety of teas, yummy scones, pastries and finger sandwiches. The night time entertainment started at 9:30 pm, which was a bit later than we prefer, but the shows we did make it to were very good, especially the comic who appeared twice - once at night and once during the day. We wished they had more day time shows. We noticed this ship attracted a certain "type of passenger" and are happy to report that this group of adults ranging from 30-90, (mostly 70-80's) in age were, as a whole, very well mannered. This ship really doesn't cater to children... which is a good thing for those who enjoy being with "grown ups". We never ran into any loud or unruly drinkers or pushy / obnoxious passengers like you might find on some other ship brands . Everyone seemed friendly and caring. Embarking and disembarking was a breeze. We would most definitely sail on the Oceania Allura again... we can hardly wait!!!
