Royal Caribbean International's newest supership, Allure, is just 5mm longer than its compatriot, the immense Oasis of the Seas and is awaiting the finishing touches before its maiden voyage in December.

Captain Hernan Zini is proud and pleased that the extra half a cm give his ship the right to claim the title of the biggest cruise ship in the world.

Allure of the Seas will run Caribbean cruises from her home of Port Everglades in Florida. She boasts 16 decks, and is 64m wide, encompassing 225,282 gross registered tonnes, and featuring 2,700 staterooms.

The ship will carry a maximum of 6,296 passengers and 2,394 crew, with a 'town-like' design and its own 'neighbourhoods' - seven themed areas: Central Park, Boardwalk, the Royal Promenade, the Pool and Sports Zone, Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Centre, Entertainment Place and Youth Zone.

Guests will have 24 dining options, including a Brazilian steakhouse, the Mexican eatery Rita's Cantina, and speciality hot-dog joint The Boardwalk Dog House. There also will be a cupcake shop and a range of bars, spas and entertainment.
