Jay Schneider, the firm's Chief Product Innovation Officer, said " Allure will be reimagined with the best of Royal Caribbean and what travellers love. "Between new favourites, 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 favourite." Read on to discover what's coming.
Resort-style pools are at the centre of the action on the reimagined Caribbean pool deck, alongside a wider variety of seating and shade across casitas, in-pool loungers and daybeds. The Cyclone and Typhoon racing waterslides and the SuperCell champagne bowl, maxes out on thrill with twists and turns for those bored of sun lounging.
