Comparison to Oasis
I liked the Ice Show better on Oasis. As I said before the Allure Ice Show was a let down to me.
I preferred Oasis's 2nd show, Come Fly With Me to the Allure's Blue Planet. I felt that Blue Planet was strange. Again not for lack of talent, but I just couldn't get in to the show. Some parts were great though. Come Fly With Me held my interest more because I was a tap & ballet dancer for 16 years and there was some tapping in that show along with acrobatics & aerial stuff.
I saw Hairspray on Oasis and chose not to see Chicago on Allure. I just didn't want to be in a show for 2 hours and my husband really hates Broadway type shows.
I loved OceanAria (Allure) equally as much as Oasis of Dreams (Oasis). These are both Aqua Theater shows.
We had Ken Rush as our CD on both Oasis & Allure. We saw him around more on Oasis, but I think because the Allure was a holiday sailing he had more events to run around to. I know people complain about him, but I don't let a CD make or break my trip and he wasn't annoying like some CDs can be. He does talk VERY FAST though.
I found the decor of the ships to be equally as fun and beautiful.
The Oasis had a much better handle on the Dining Room issues. It may have been because of the holidays that we ran into the seating issue on Allure.
We took the same itinerary on both ships (except we stopped at Costa Maya on Oasis and Falmouth on Allure because Falmouth wasn't completed at the time we sailed on Oasis.) I can't complain about any port on either trip. We did spend more time on the ship with Oasis.
Room Location: On Oasis last year we had cabin 8553 which was forward, first inside cabin from the stairs. It was convenient and we loved being near Central Park. This year on Allure we ended up with a balcony cabin on deck 7, a very short walk from the stairs. When I choose to go on Oasis or Allure again I would prefer to be closer the the AFT stairwell around 7th/8th deck. It was very convenient. Matt and I only take the stairs on cruises (helps combat the eating) and we found that this was the best location for us.
Boardwalk: I like the Allure's Boardwalk MUCH better. I don't eat much seafood, so Seafood Shack was a waste to me on Oasis. I enjoyed doing the Fiesta at Rita's on Allure. I also really liked the Boardwalk Doghouse. I had a few over the course of the week.

On Oasis we went strictly for the ship. We only got off the ship to stretch our legs, but didn't do anything. Enjoyed exploring the ship while the masses were out for the day. We loved it. Especially the FlowRiders, we were able to use them with minimal lines. Think: 5 people.
On Allure we had a jam packed schedule with excursions at two ports and the roller coaster line in Labadee. I felt as though I did NOT have enough time to enjoy the Allure because we got off in the ports. That does not mean I didn't enjoy Allure, I absolutely LOVED it, just wish I had more time on her. Maybe that means I should go back soon
