But, the Allure is 5 cm longer.:rolleyes: The Allure is also newer. The entertainment is different, and themes of restaurants are also different.

Clarea Posted February 12, 2013 #4 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Allure has a much better placement of power outlets in the staterooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler80 Posted February 12, 2013 #5 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Allure has a Guess store in the Royal Promenade. Oasis does not. Oasis has Solarium Bistro specialty dinner restaurant, Allure has Samba Grill Brazilian Steakhouse specialty dinner restaurant. Both have Solarium Bistro free breakfast and lunch options.

Rare A&L_Ont Posted February 12, 2013 #6 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Allure has a much better placement of power outlets in the staterooms. Nailed it. I don't know where the electrical enginers minds were when they designated electrical outlet locations. Not to mention ownership should have caught that failure, along with the ship builders. Glad they fixed it on Allure though. I am on Oasis in a few weeks, so I better prepare my knees for plugging in Ipads and phone chargers. I still love her enough to sail on her though.

I always bring a power strip and extension cord, so did not have issues on Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamusta1 Posted April 7, 2013 #14 Share Posted April 7, 2013 On our sailing a few weeks ago our stateroom attendant advised they recently installed outlets on the desks like Allure. There also was not an ipod dock with clock like Allure. They really bothered us since we got so used to it on Allure. The car in the Promenade is a also a bit different to. The car on Allure is red and Oasis its grey. My wife actually noticed when you press a button on the elevator it beeps twice, but on Allure only once. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cctn Posted April 7, 2013 #18 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Allure also has the Boardwalk Dog House, and Oasis does not. Oh no! love the Boardwalk Dog House - one of our very favorites!! and also Samba Grill - however, since we are going on the Liberty Mar 1, the sailing on Oasis makes it just right for us to get off and go straight onto the Liberty for a B2b on her - darn... will miss those hotdogs!!ha!ha! We enjoyed Chicago, but will look forward to Hairspray if it's still playing next Spring... carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ships are basically identical and many of the other posters have mentioned the main differences between the ships show and venue wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonvoltken6 Posted April 8, 2013 #25 Share Posted April 8, 2013 We did both last year and honestly we were much more impressed with the service on the Oasis. The employees we interacted with on the Allure were more stand-offish. But that may not have been a good sample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
