Sarah Bretz, ContributorRoyal Caribbean International has announced that its Oasis-class ship Allure of the Seas will be receiving a massive $100 million renovation in April 2025.
When the ship emerges from dry dock, it will feature the line’s new Pesky Parrot tiki bar, the 10-story Ultimate Abyss slide, resort-style swimming pools, and more. It will spend the summer operating seven-night western Mediterranean voyages from Barcelona, Spain.
New Allure of the Seas Features
Resort-Style Pools
Resort-style pools are at the center of the action on the reimagined Caribbean pool deck, alongside a variety of seating and shade across casitas, in-pool loungers, daybeds, and more. For a laid-back adults-only escape, the Solarium will introduce new touches, complete with the favorite Samba Grill and dedicated bars.
The Perfect Storm
The multistory trio, the Cyclone and Typhoon racing waterslides and the SuperCell champagne bowl, maxes out on thrill with twists and turns, whether racing friends and family — or simply just time.
Splashaway Bay
Tots, tweens, and kids in between can enjoy the Splashaway Bay splash area which features slides, water cannons, fountains, pools and hot tubs, plus two drench buckets that make double the splash.
The Lime & Coconut
The signature poolside bar, across two locations, serves up its popular classics and live music.
