Adventure of the Seas it Was

July

Pros: Beautiful weather; Smooth sailing; Nicer ship than last year's Rhapsody!

Cons: Too many people for the size of the ship; constant hounding about Specialty Dining; terrible on-board communication!

Recommended: Yes

The ports of call were terrific! We loved them all! Our excursions were mostly good, but we were not able to comment on them on the Royal Caribbean survey. The ship was in good condition. We had excellent service from our cabin stewards to our dining room hosts. Customer service was also very helpful! Concerns: The ship was 16 short of capacity and felt very crowded! There was little room in the pools (even the Solarium pool); little availability of tables anywhere to play cards etc.; narrow corridors; and 3rd passenger beds above our heads! Excursions that advertise one thing and deliver a far lesser thing. Don't tell us you're taking us on a rainforest hike when actually the trail is closed and it's really a bus trip (Puerto Rico) Royal Caribbean, you send an email a day trying to entice us to purchase beverage packages, specialty dining, internet, etc. Be done once we board! If we wanted these things we would have purchased them previous to sailing or we know where the Customer Service desk is located on-board if we happened to have changed our minds.

Relaxing vacation

January

Pros: Top notch service

Cons: Lack of food options

Recommended: Yes

This was my first time on adventures of the seas. The staff was exceptional as always. Here is an example. My son is autistic and very selective with his good choices. He found out that he likes the PBJ sandwiches that they serve through room service. No one else offers this selection on board the ship. I spoke to head waiter in the main dining room and he made the arrangements so that my son could have a PBJ sandwich every night in the dining room. My son was very excited about this.

A tired old gal

August

Pros: The staff and crew were consistently attentive and friendly. The ship was clean at all times.

Cons: She needs updating and refurbishing.

Recommended: Yes

The Casino, especially, needs a complete overhaul. Outdated machines, non functioning machines but especially it is jammed so that walking from one place to another is almost impossible. On the plus side, the new air purifiers do a great job of clearing the smoke usually found in a casino. I couldn’t detect which side was smoking as I entered, not usually the case.

Fantastic Cruise for Families, but disappointed with food.

July

Pros: Tons of family activities to do. Excellent Service.

Cons: The main dining food was not outstanding. Specialty Dining at Giavonni's Table.

Recommended: Yes

We had a fantastic time on the cruise. Our kids are 6,8, & 18 and there were a ton of activities for everyone! A big hit for our family was the Silent Disco Parties. The main consistent theme to the cruise was that the main dining food wasn't outstanding. It was decent food... but nothing spectacular. We decided to try Giovanni's Table which was a specialty dining option to see if that was any better and it was similar. Nothing outstanding. Good, but not spectacular. The waitstaff however, was amazing! Everywhere we went and ordered something (drinks, food, shops, etc.) the service we experienced was amazing. The after dinner shows were pretty good, and our favorite was the ice show. The one thing we noticed was that there were plenty of seating available and you didn't have to get there early to make sure you had a seat. As for the size of the ship... it's a smaller ship (compared to the newer Icon of the seas) and you definitely noticed it on sea days. The pools / hot tubs were packed!
