Allure Of The Seas

The Schooner Bar, as its name suggests, has a nautical theme and unique scent which originates from pitch made of pine tar mixed with oakum used to preserve rigging that was used on tall ships. The mast-like setup in the Schooner Bar with its ropes and knots are treated with this pitch which creates the scent. The bar also features a number of nautical items and artwork throughout with glass tables etched with ship wheel designs and comfortable blue armchairs and cream leather sofas.

Seating 107 guests and located on deck 6, the bar overlooks the Royal Promenade below making it the ideal location for people watching whilst enjoying the live piano entertainment during the evening. The Rising Tide bar also passes by this venue as it makes its way up to Central Park.

Along with piano entertainment, morning trivia quizzes, crossword challenges and martini promotions take place here.

Decorated with subtle gold and blue tones with a large central glass chandelier and 1920’s style portraits, the bar is one of the quieter ones on the ship with no live entertainment taking place and as such is a nice place for a quite chat with new friends and family.

Vintages is Allure’s signature wine bar where guests can sit back and relax with a glass of wine and take in the view of Central Park on deck 8 of the ship.

With comfortable seating for up to 73 and adorned with hundreds of bottles of wine sitting in temperature controlled shelves, Vintage's is the ideal place for a pre-dinner drink or light lunch.

Developed with Robert Mondavi, Beringer® Blass Wine Estates and Niebaum-Coppola, the wine bar offers guests drinks from some of the world’s finest vineyards.

During a cruise a number of tastings and classes are held such as champagne cocktail tastings and Martini tastings offering a choice of three different martinis in a two ounce glass, with costs beginning at around $20.00 per person.

Both flights (priced from around $11 to $19) and glasses of wine are available along with a selection of tapas (charges apply). Guests can also try a one, three or five ounce glass of wine using the Napa Technology dispensers enabling them to sample a range of wines without having to purchase individual bottles.

The Bow and Stern is Allure’s English pub decorated with traditional dark wooden panels, wood furniture and nautically themed pictures and decor. The pub features an extensive beer list and each night hosts a live pub entertainment act.

The Bow & Stern is located along the Royal Promenade seating 128 guests and is the ships other indoor bar where passengers can smoke.

The giant copper globe incorporated into the pub’s facade above the entrance “cracks open” to reveal the Atlas Bridge which unfurls on hinged hydraulics and extends out over the Promenade as a bridge platform, 10 feet above the ground. Entertainment acts then perform on the platform during Royal Promenade parades.

The alfresco Trellis Bar is situated amid the tree-lined Central Park by the Rising Tides Bar and seats 20 guests at the few high tables and chairs, along with some bar stools. The bar also provides drinks to the nearby restaurants.

The adults-only two deck high glass-panelled Solarium is served by its own bar located on the mezzanine level (deck 16) overlooking the pool below with padded rattan style chaise lounges and chairs and stools for seating.
