Allure of the Seas entered service in December 2010 as the second Oasis-class ship and sister to Oasis of the Seas. Following her 2023 Royal Amplified refit she is now Galveston-based year-round for Western Caribbean sailings.
Allure completed the Royal Amplified refurbishment programme in 2023, adding The Perfect Storm waterpark, Ultimate Abyss, an expanded Central Park, and modernised staterooms across the ship.
The Galveston homeport makes her the primary Oasis-class access point for Texas and Gulf-coast guests who would otherwise face a long drive to Miami or Port Canaveral.
