Allure of the Seas

 Even though the size is the same, there are some differences

New Features: Allure of the Seas:

The Boardwalk on Allure should benefit from the addition of a new "free" dining option. The Boardwalk Dog House will serve up a variety of sausages, wieners and brats with your choice of toppings. "We felt that the free food offering was not substantial enough in the Boardwalk," noted Lisa Bauer, Royal Caribbean's Senior VP of Hotel Operations. "You have the Park Cafe in Central Park, so we wanted to make it more convenient for families to stay in the Boardwalk." The venue will replace what's now the donut shop on Oasis, but fans of Oasis of the Seas' Boardwalk Donut Shop, which serves thousands of donuts per cruise, need not worry. It'll be moved next to ice cream store, replacing some outdoor seating.

Guess Store. Following the success of the Coach retail store found on Oasis of the Seas, Allure will introduce the first flagship Guess store at sea, which will sell the company's designer handbags, watches, shoes, jewelry and glasses. The store will be located in the Royal Promenade in place of what's Focus Photo Shop on Oasis (camera-related sales will be moved to the photo gallery on Allure).

3D Movies. The main theater on Allure of the Seas will be equipped to handle 3D movies, which Bauer said would first-run. Oasis of the Seas will be 3D-ready by spring of 2011. Another entertainment change: new productions in the AquaTheater incluiding an acrobatic show called Blue Planet. The water show will be called Ocean Aria.
