Here are the top new attractions to look out for on board.
The Ultimate Abyss Slide Is A New Addition To Allure of the Seas
We’re absolutely loving the new Ultimate Abyss, the tallest dry slide at sea! This 10-deck drop is fast, fun, and a must-do if you’re looking for thrills onboard. It’s definitely one of the best new features on Allure of the Seas.
The Perfect Storm Waterslides
Three exhilarating waterslides- Typhoon, Cyclone, and Supercell- now form the Perfect Storm, a trio of splashy fun for all ages. Whether you’re racing your friends or spinning through the slide bowls, this upgrade is all about high-energy water fun.
Upgraded Pool Areas And The Addition of The Lime A Coconut Pool Bars
The pool areas on Allure of the Seas have been freshened and upgraded to offer even more relaxation and fun in the sun. Along with the refreshed pools, the addition of The Lime & Coconut Pool Bars adds a vibrant, tropical vibe, making it the perfect spot to unwind with a cocktail.
Splashaway Bay for Kids
If you’re cruising with little ones, the enhanced Splashaway Bay is a colourful water play zone with mini slides, fountains, and water cannons—perfect for keeping the kids cool and entertained.
New Bars and Restaurants on Allure of the Seas
All areas of Allure of the Seas have had a glow-up and refresh, including some of your favourite spots like the Bow and Stern English Pub. From exciting new dining experiences to revamped bars, there’s something for every taste and vibe onboard. Here’s a look at the best new spots to grab a bite or a drink.
Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade
One of our favourite places onboard! Playmakers has an unbeatable atmosphere with live sports, arcade games, and classic American bar bites. Whether you’re cheering on your team, playing Jenga or chilling out with a beer, it’s a great spot to relax.
Pesky Parrot Tiki Bar
The brand-new Pesky Parrot is a cool tiki bar with a fun, tropical vibe. We love the fruity cocktails, and yes, there’s even a talking parrot to complete the island atmosphere! It’s the perfect place to chill and enjoy a laid-back drink. See our full list of cocktails and menus.
The Mason Jar Is A Fabulous New Addition
Southern flavours take centre stage at The Mason Jar, a new restaurant serving comfort food favourites like fried chicken, shrimp & grits, and homemade biscuits. Add in live country music and you’ve got a warm, welcoming dining experience.
El Loco Fresh
Looking for something fast, fresh, and full of flavour? El Loco Fresh serves up tasty Mexican street food like burritos, tacos, and nachos, ideal for a quick bite between activities.
We Are Loving Allure of the Seas After Her 2025 Renovation?
We’re genuinely loving our time onboard the newly renovated Allure of the Seas. The updates have brought a whole new energy to the ship from our last sailing on her in October—from the thrill of the Ultimate Abyss to the fun vibes at Playmakers and Pesky Parrot.
Kieran Miller, award-winning travel agent from Magical Traveller, told us, “It’s brilliant to see Royal Caribbean investing in Europe with the newly amplified Allure of the Seas. Guests love seeing their favourite ships refreshed with the latest features, and the upcoming debut of Legend of the Seas from Barcelona in 2026 shows a real commitment to bringing the best of the fleet to the region.”
If you’re planning a cruise and wondering what’s new on Allure of the Seas in 2025, we can confirm, it’s 100% worth it. Whether you’re travelling as a couple, with friends, or as a family, there’s something new to explore around every corner.
