Was Allure of the Seas upgraded?

But more than a decade later, Allure of the Seas is hardly a copy. While Oasis got upgraded in 2019, Allure has yet to receive a second major refurbishment. (It was postponed due to the pandemic and is now scheduled for 2025.)



Allure of the Seas, one of Royal Caribbean’s massive Oasis-class ships, has undergone significant maintenance, but its journey toward a full "Royal Amplification" was uniquely affected by global events. Originally scheduled for a massive $165 million transformation in early 2020, the project was postponed due to the worldwide pause in cruising. However, the ship did receive a "technical dry dock" in late 2022 and further refreshments in 2024 and 2025 to update its upholstery, technical systems, and certain public spaces. These updates ensured the ship remained in top condition, featuring newer amenities like the Perfect Storm water slides and refreshed dining venues that align it more closely with its sister ships like Symphony and Wonder of the Seas. While it didn't get every single "Amplified" feature at the original scheduled time, the iterative upgrades have kept it as a premier choice for families. If you are booking a trip, you will find a ship that feels contemporary and well-maintained, even if it lacks a few specific niche features found on the very newest "Icon-class" vessels.
