Allure of the Seas joined the fleet in December 2010 as the sister of Oasis of the Seas. In February to April 2025 she spent about seven weeks at Navantia's Cádiz shipyard in a refit reported at more than $100 million, which added the Perfect Storm waterslides, Splashaway Bay, laser tag, an escape room and a new teen space.

She carries 5,484 guests at double occupancy (6,780 maximum). Royal Caribbean lists Allure on three- and four-night Bahamas cruises and seven-night Western Caribbean cruises from Miami, plus six-night Caribbean trips from Fort Lauderdale.
