Royal Caribbean: Allure of the Seas

Disconnect on the secret sun deck onboard Allure of the Seas. A private little enclave awaits on top of the ship’s bridge, tucked just beneath the Solarium. The unassuming door is the only way in and out, so take a chance and push it open–seclusion and sunshine await on the other side. Look for the commemorative plaque and the “lucky coins” contained within the welded cabinet. Whether you’re a Royal Caribbean veteran or a newbie, the cruise line prides itself on consistently surprising its guests.

Now that you have the inside scoop, we’ll make sure you have plenty of time to unpack then unwind on the luxury sun deck of your dreams. Simply pick a ship and the rest will be smooth sailing. Bon voyage!
