Royal Caribbean announced $100 million plus updates coming to Allure of the Seas in 2025.
The long-delayed Royal Amplification of Allure of the Seas is expected to cost at least $100 million.
Allure will begin her upgrades in March 2025, and by the time she re-enters service in April 2025, she will have over 35 places to eat, drink, and splash onboard.
Like refurbishments on past ships, Allure will get new restaurants, upgrades, and an overall radical transformation.
