I agree...well as the world turns as they say...now Allure of the Seas (Royal Caribbean) is back on the site and available with balcony outside cabins. Got to love travel computer systems. SO! Thinking all things equal in terms of schedule, and cost is the same as I am comparing points to points...it is between Celebrity Equinox OV balcony and Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas OV balcony...neither of these are suites. Any thoughts on these two lines and ships for first time cruisers?
