Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas Returns To Fort Lauderdale in Late 2025 After $100 Million Renovation

Royal Caribbean International will debut a newly amplified Allure of the Seas in April 2025 before the Oasis-class ship returns to Florida in November 2025.

The more than $100 million transformation of Allure of the Seas will include favorites from Royal Caribbean’s Utopia of the Seas and even the newest Icon-class.

Pool Deck Enhancements

  • Resort-style Pool Areas  Resort-style pools are at the center of the action on the reimagined Caribbean pool deck, alongside a wider variety of seating and shade across casitas, in-pool loungers, daybeds and more. For a laidback adults-only escape, the Solarium introduces new touches, complete with the favorite Samba Grill and dedicated bars.

  • The Perfect Storm – The multistory trio, the Cyclone and Typhoon racing waterslides and the SuperCell champagne bowl, maxes out on thrill with twists and turns, whether racing friends and family or time.

  • Splashaway Bay – Pool days: the tots and tweens edition features slides, water cannons, fountains, pools and whirlpools, plus two drench buckets that that make double the splash.

  • The Lime & Coconut – The signature poolside bar, across two locations, serves up its popular classics and twists, live music and all the vibes day and night.

  • El Loco Fresh – A poolside fiesta of flavors is in store, including tacos, burritos and quesadillas.

Bars and Nightlife

  • Pesky Parrot – Making its way to Allure following a standout debut on the new Utopia of the Seas, the Caribbean tiki bar serves up fruit-based cocktails made with rum, tequila and gin, alongside frozen drinks and surprises.

  • Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade – All ages have a seat at the table to catch live games on dozens of TVs, play arcade classics and refuel on tasty bar fare and ice-cold brews.

  • The Mason Jar Southern Restaurant & Bar – Only on Wonder and Utopia of the Seas today, this hot spot is where Southern comfort food meets Royal Caribbean’s hospitality, live country music and more.

Adventures for Everyone

  • Ultimate Abyss – The adrenaline-pumping experience brings to the table its memorable 10 stories of twists, turns, lights and sounds. Plus, vacationers can cool off their nerves with shaved ice in a variety of flavors – the latest addition to Wipe Out Bar’s menu.

  • Royal Escape Room – Apollo 18: Lunar Landing – The latest of the Royal Escape Room lineup puts families and friends in the hot seat of the command center – in 1973 – as they look for clues and solve complex puzzles to land Apollo 18 on the moon before time runs out.

  • Laser Tag – The Studio B ice rink transforms into a glow-in-the-dark laser tag arena for vacationers to challenge each other and go head-to-head in Battle for Planet Z.

  • Adventure Ocean – Kids can choose their own immersive adventures across a new layout. Highlights include climbable creations at Play Place, the AO Theater, hands-on art, science and tech at Workshop; physical, interactive games at Arena; the Hangout; plus dedicated programs to engage all the senses for babies and younger kids.

  • Social298 – A 360-degree transformation of the teen spaces boasts video games, music, movies and plenty of ways to kick back with new friends.

Plus the addition of the new Ultimate Panoramic Suites above Allure’s bridge, with 200-degree ocean views, the upcoming experiences join a lineup of returning favorites, too. On deck is everything from Royal Caribbean’s signature show-stopping entertainment across air, ice, water and stage; and thrills like rock climbing and FlowRider surf simulators to hot spots for vibes and bites such as Schooner Bar, the Bow & Stern English pub, Italian classics at Giovanni’s Table, American steakhouse Chops Grille; and more.
 
After sailing in Europe during the summer 2025, Allure of the Seas will be heading back to its original port in Fort Lauderdale in November 2025. Vacationers looking to get away to the tropics can choose from a lineup of 6- to 8-night vacations to the eastern Caribbean and The Bahamas, and set their sights on destinations and experiences like the award-winning Perfect Day at CocoCay and Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in Nassau, The Bahamas, opening in late 2025.
