Can you do 100 activities onboard Allure of the Seas in one day?
Updated July 2019
When it was announced that there was going to be a cruise ship built that is longer than four full sized football pitches, five times the size of Titantic, and worth more than $1.5 billion, nobody quite believed it. Royal Caribbean are known for pushing boundaries, but how far could they go?
We thought we'd put the ship to the test, and see if we could find 100 activities onboard Allure of the Seas to do in one day. If you are one who likes keeping busy during your cruise holiday, read on to find out how we got on!
