Mellem 2500-3000 mennesker var forsamlet ude på molen i Halsskov for at overvære det pragtige syn.
For at kunne gå under Storebæltsbroen, var det nødvendig for skibet at sænke skorstene, så skibet højde reduceres til 64,99 meter - en enkelt centimeter under broens officielle gennemsnitshøjde på 65 meter, midt på broen.
Allure of the Seas tilhører rederiet Royal Carribean og er på vej fra værftet i Finland, hvor det er bygget, til dets hjemhavn i Florida.
Krydstogtskibet, der sammen med søsterskibet Oasis og the Seas er verdens største, har 16 dæk, 2700 kahytter og plads til 5400 passagerer foruden en ca. 2000-mand stor besætning.
