Royal Caribbean has just released all the details of the Allure of the Seas' amplification in 2025, and we could not be more excited! The $100 million renovation project is part of the company's Royal Amplified Refit Program, geared toward not only updating older ships, but providing the best customer experience possible through popular venues and onboard activities that have become fan favorites on the newer vessels. Allure is no exception, and will be debuting several venues that have become quite popular on the more recent Oasis Class ships- from dining, to bars, to water fun!
“From the new Icon and Utopia of the Seas to now the more than $100 million transformation of Allure of the Seas, we’ve upped the ante threefold on the different ways vacationers can get away and make memories with Royal Caribbean,” said Jay Schneider, Chief Product Innovation Officer, Royal Caribbean International. “Allure will be reimagined with the best of Royal Caribbean and what travelers love. Between new favorites, like the Pesky Parrot tiki bar, and experiences that unlock core memories time and time again, from an incredible pool deck to an unmatched combination of thrills and ways to chill, Allure will have even more of everything that makes it a standout favorite.”
Allure will enter dry dock in March 2025, and be re-introduced to the world in April 2025 with cruises to Europe for the summer. Afterward, she will head to Florida for the winter season to sail the Caribbean on 6-8 night cruises out of Fort Lauderdale. We cannot wait to see everything that will be upgraded after the amplification, and if Utopia's offerings are any indication of the direction Royal is heading, we know Allure's new look and venues will be a home run! Here are all the renovations we know about so far:
WATER FUN | Renovations will include extensive changes to the upper decks to create a "resort-style" pool deck that includes shaded casitas, in-pool loungers, daybeds, and much more. In the adults-only Solarium, Royal has announced a few new touches, complete with the Samba Grill and dedicated bars.
The popular Perfect Storm Waterpark will also be added to Allure, featuring the racing slides and popular champagne-bowl style waterslide.
Not far off will be the kiddos splash pad, and for a drink and a bite to eat, Royal will be adding a Lime & Coconut Bar, as well as the Mexican eatery, El Loco Fresh.
DINING & BARS | Utopia of the Seas just made her debut, and introduced several new venues, including the Pesky Parrot tiki bar. This space was so popular, Royal has decided to add it to Allure as well, so folks can enjoy a bit of French Polynesia anywhere they are sailing in the world!
The Mason Jar is arguably one of Royal Caribbean's best specialty restaurants, so it is no surprise that this southern comfort food eatery is being added to Allure during her amplification. Gather around the table with your friends and enjoy delicious brunch, lunch, and dinner options that feel as though they have been cooked by a real southern grandma.
Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade will be added to the boardwalk on Allure, which will make all Royal fans happy. This hopping bar offers delicious drinks and food, as well as fun arcade games for the whole family; all of which you can enjoy while watching the big game!
ACTIVITIES | At the very aft of the ship, fans will now be able to enjoy the classic Oasis venue- the Ultimate Abyss Slide. This dry slide takes guests from the top decks, all the way down to the boardwalk with a series of thrilling twists and turns! It has become a staple on the Oasis ships, so it is no surprise that the Ultimate Abyss is being added to Allure.
In addition to the Ultimate Abyss, there will be several new activities and venues on Allure to entertain guests. A new escape room will feature a lunar landing on Apollo 18, and is a great activity for the entire family as you work together to figure out a series of puzzles and land safely on the moon. Laser tag will also be on Allure following her amplification, as the ice rink will be transformed to a laser tag maze throughout the cruise for fun with friends and family.
STATEROOMS | Royal will be adding the Ultimate Panoramic Suites to the bridge wings on Allure. These popular suites come with 280 degree views of the forward, side, and aft of the ship, giving you the same incredible views as the captain!
