Saiwung Posted March 3 Report Posted March 3 Is Allure getting Mason Jar during the current refurb or not? The website deck plans show Mason Jar showing up in April 2026. Quote

It's not showing up on the cruise planner for the first post-dry dock sailing, at least for now. If it does, I'll try and remember to post. Otherwise, I'll check when we get on board.

Mathias Posted March 28 Report Posted March 28 According to thepointsguy link above, the Crown Lounge was relocated to the former teen disco space on Deck 15. Looking at the the deck plan it is still lookated at the Boardwalk on deck 6 https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-ships/allure-of-the-seas/deck-plans/2307/06 If the Crown Lounge is not on the Boardwalk, what will they put there instead?

There are 2 sets of deck plans on Royal's site. If you look at the more future one (https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-ships/allure-of-the-seas/deck-plans/2375/15) you can see the Crown Lounge on deck 15. The deck 6 location is unlabeled on these plans, so I'm thinking it is a new restaurant that hasn't been announced yet. Mathias and Thumper44 2 Quote

FionaMG Posted April 10 Report Posted April 10 I received an email this morning to say boarding would be delayed by several hours so we are not to arrive at the cruise terminal until 3 pm. I'll take it! I have been sooo worried these past few days. I was imagining having to tell our friends who are brand new cruisers that it was going to be cancelled.

Plus there’s a real solarium on allure to escape to I lost both my parents in the last 5 months and they loved cruising. I’m taking some of my inheritance to pay for this trip. Going all out.

I think there were some rooms added where the old Crown/Diamond Lounge used to be. Not sure about any others Quote
