Adventure of the Seas

Crusing 2024

March

Pros: Food and drink are great as is the staff and crew

Cons: Doesn't have a 24 hr food and drink spot besides roomservice for food

Recommended: Yes

We had a great time on the ship and was pleasantly surprised as to how nice our cabin with the balcony was. Food was very good and my wife has certain food allergies and they bent over backwards to ajust her menu . The staff was great . The waiter at the Isumi restaurant Jayan was great , he took care to make sure all was perfect for us, even in matching the sake with our meal. The entertainment was top notch and we all loved that there was live bands performing all over the ship vs just Dj's. The only con to me was that they didn't have a 24 hr food and drink spot on the ship as I'm a night owl . But over all I was very pleased with the whole cruise and with Royal Caribbean

Fantastic cruise

March

Pros: crew was the best ever. Night time shows were great. Wonderful food

Cons: Charge for internet was, I thought, A little high.

Recommended: Yes

First of all, we were very grateful that RC rerouted us from Haiti to Grand Turk. We appreciate their looking out for our safety. The buffet was superb. We didn't realize it was spring break so didn't expect so many kids onboard. But we found places away from the crowds to sit and enjoy the views. Our cabin steward was beyond helpful. He (I think his name is Hajje) was the sweetest guy. He always answered our questions and needs. The down side was we didn't realize we had to reserve dining room time before boarding. We weren't able to eat in the main dining room unless we wanted 8:45 pm. So it was disappointing to not be able to do this.

RCL Adventure

November

Pros: Main dining rooms exceptional quality and service. Friendliest cruise staff we have encountered.

Cons: Maintenance crews on occasion blocked off portions of deck 4 outside where we like to walk. A minor complaint.

Recommended: Yes

Super friendly employees. Exceptional dinner menus and dining staff (a shout out to Mary and Tanaka at table 3 My Time dining…just simply the best). More quality entertainment than you could possibly imagine, from piano bar to ice skating shows to Lyric theater song and dance productions to…….well you get the idea. Plus rock wall, water slides, flow rider and more when you get tired of hangin around the pools. Just a GREAT ship.

Great for my second cruise ever.

October

Pros:

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

Only 2 complaints I had were that we had "joining" rooms attached with a door to a different family that had a screaming toddler all day, every day, and every night. The conjoining door completely took away any sound barrier, you could see their lights coming on and off and the shadows of everyone walking by. The attendant and staff were incredible so it's just a review of that part of the room itself. It was as if the tantrums were in the same room they were so loud and easy to hear. Also the costa maya port was over-packed and made it impossible to enjoy it to a decent extent. I know it had so much potential I'd love to go back but there were three ships there at once that altogether fit upwards of 10-15,000 people at once in the port. We were shoulder to shoulder and had a hard time going into a single store at any point. Everyone I know got immediately sick (some with covid) after visiting that crowded port. That point in the itinerary in terms of joining the other ships was poorly decided however I would still love to go back because the location itself was the most fun and beautiful.

Cruise experence

July

Pros: State room and public spaces clean and comfortable

Cons: Food poor and excursions difficult

Recommended: No

Excursions prime reason to sell trinkets. Those marked “mild” were physically difficult. Mayan ruins were not ruins at all. No place for adults to swim. Music too loud. Food in main dining room was poor. Entertainment was poor.

Adventure of the Seas

July

Pros: The friendly service was remarkable.

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

We had a wonderful time. Traveling with three children. The staff including those who cleaned our room and our servers at supper were so friendly, helpful and kind.

Family Vacation

July

Pros: Food, destination, entertainment, family oriented

Cons: Weather

Recommended: Yes

This my first cruise with Royal Caribbean and my daughter's first time remembering being on a cruise. Her first time was when she was two. This whole vacation because of her she really wanted to go on one. We both had a great time. She really enjoyed the free pizza and ice cream bar as well as the arcade. The servers at our dinner time were amazing and spoiled us so much. We also enjoyed the ice skating show, mini golf and rock climbing. The weather at times were gloomy but it is that time of year for tropical storms so next time I'll take a cruise during my winter and my destination.

50/50

June

Pros: The public areas have been maintained nicely. The staff was excellent. Coming on board and departure were very well organized and quick.

Cons: The carpets and furniture had stains. Many minor repairs to the room had not been done. The balcony had a great deal of rust on it.

Recommended: No

The ship is old and needs refurbishing. RC is in desperate need of more electric plug ins or plug ins for devices. This is a real problem with all the electronics people are using.

Better than Disney!

April

Pros: Lots of great entertainment & activities for all ages, clean ship, wonderful service

Cons: One elevator not working (long waits), coffee not good

Recommended: Yes

When we asked the grandkids (11 & 14) how they liked the cruise they said it was better than Disney World, which was their favorite before this vacation!

Cruise to Cozemel

March

Pros:

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

We enjoyed the cruise. The food was great, and the shows were very entertaining

First timer

March

Pros: staff was very nice, clean rooms, decent food, great pool area

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

It was a great first cruise for us. The staff was very friendly and exceeded our expectations. We will definitely book again on AOS

Fantastic Experience

September

Pros: Staff at bars, MDR and guest services was spot on! Very happy to be there and glad to see our smiling faces.

Cons: Deluxe beverage package…did not have majority of listed top notch whiskeys.

Recommended: Yes

Beverage Director was awesome and accommodated us as best he could.

New England /Canada Cruise

September

Pros: Good Trip except for Itinerary change after payment and great service on the ship

Cons: Covid testing was a hassle. Music played in Windjammer food area was too loud and not at all commensurate with the passenger demographic.

Recommended: Yes

WE were very disappointed when Halifax was dropped from our cruise itinerary AFTER we had paid. I sent a letter to Royal Caribbean and never had the courtesy of a reply. Not good customer service. St John should be dropped from the itinerary. It's a dead city and most all stores in the Marketplace and nearby shopping center were shuttered. (out of business).

Some good, some not so much

July

Pros: Excellent service, activities, specialty restaurants, most entertainment

Cons: Food is very mediocre at best. The ship is showing some age.

Recommended: Yes

The crew on Adventure of the Seas is outstanding with the exception of the Cruise Director who was not our favorite by far. There were plenty of activities and entertainment options. They headliner, a juggler was not great, but the shows with the Royal singers, dancers and band were very good as was the ice show. As far as the ship itself, it is showing its age. It was supposed to be "amplified," but that was cancelled due to COVID and as far as I know has not been rescheduled. The main dining room food was hit and miss. Some dishes were very good, while some were just awful. The food in the WIndjammer buffet was OK at breakfast, but not very good for lunch. One whole section of the grill portion was closed at the busiest times. Chops and Giovani's were both excellent. All in all, we had a good time, but we much prefer the Oasis and Quantum class ships. Adventure was fine for a fine night cruise, but don't think we would sail on a Voyager class ship that has not been amplified.

Fantastic relaxing voyage

February

Pros: Friendliness, great food, clean and neat well kept ship

Cons: Price of adult beverage packages& requirement to purchase 2 if another adult shares your room

Recommended: Yes

This was our second Royal Caribbean cruise. It was a great trip, good food, great on ship nightly shows, reasonable on board shop prices, great hosts. We look forward to another venture next year.

First cruise

January

Pros: Ship and staff were clean and very friendly and eager to assist us in anyway they could.

Cons: Ship allows smoking in the casino area inside the ship.

Recommended: Yes

We had a great time but the worst thing about the whole cruise experience was the stale smoke smell on the 4th level which houses a bar area with much of the ships quiz activities ect. Also located on that level is Chops Grill that is a great restaurant and our favorite (by far) place to eat on the ship. The smoke smell from cigars and cigarettes was so bad whenever you entered that level you almost instantly held your breath or it was like taking a hit from Mike Tyson. Couldn't believe that Chops was located anywhere near this stench but inside Chops there was no smell of it. If a person went hungry or was bored it wasn't due to a lack of food or activities on this ship. I cannot compare the staff on this ship to any other since it was our first cruise but has to be hands down the most friendly and helpful people I've met in the service industry. We went to all the shows we could and enjoyed all of them. Wish they had an all exclusive package to make it a little less expensive since we bought the deluxe beverage package and had to get it for all people over 21 in the room. I had no idea of drink prices so got the package to be sure there were no charges to me at the end of the cruise and my wife does not drink alcohol so probably would have been cheaper without it.

My first cruise

January

Pros: Bus transfers a must. Cost & itinary exceptional.

Cons: Sorry to have missed pre-trip info meeting.

Recommended: Yes

Everything was so well scheduled & organized that provided us with less stress to thoroughly enjoy ourselves. Thank you.

Perfect cruise

September

Pros: Clean ship - great crew - awesome menu and food - many activities through out the and evening

Cons: needed better crowd control going into the ice show

Recommended: Yes

From the time we boarded the ship till the time we got off, we where made to feel like we where their only passengers. Our room was spotless and had a towel creature on the bed each evening. Food, food and more food all very good. Entertainment and a variety activities each day and evening kept us busy. Planning our excursion was so easy to do Staff was always ready to help with a smile. I am looking foreword to my next cruise with Royal Caribbean.

fall cruise

September

Pros: met nice people from all over the globe

Cons: trip ended

Recommended: Yes

good food, calm water, great entertainment and some very interesting and beautiful tours with great guides

Lovely Ship with much to offer

September

Pros: Well maintained ship; like the

Cons: My husband is in a wheelchair and of all 3 ports of call, there were no tours offered for individuals in wheelchairs. As there were many people on the ship using scooters or wheelchairs, the cruise line has to do a better job of thinking about all of its guests when choosing tours.

Recommended: Yes

Though this is not one of RCI's newer ships, it was very well maintained. Our stateroom, and accessible one, was spacious and our stateroom attendant took care of all of our requests. We thought that the food in the main dining room was excellent, and the service provided there was also excellent. We enjoyed the shows that we attended, especially the ice skating show.

RC Adventure of the Seas

July

Pros: Wonderful staff! Wonderful activities! Wonderful food!

Cons: none

Recommended: Yes

Very accommodating for dietary restrictions.

AWESOME!

April

Pros: Crew members and their smiling faces

Cons:

Recommended: No

Highly recommend

April

Pros: Food was the best ever! Service wonderful! Entertainment great.

Cons: Karaoke sucked on ship, no selections at all and staff weren't the best on this venue.

Recommended: Yes

Our main problem for us was "date" selection. No idea it was spring break for 1200 kids on ship out of 3500! Northern US packed them in! Typical things like punching all elevator buttons, taking up hot tub and pools, nothing major. Felt bad for entertainers as studio was never full and sure because parents had to stay with little kids. We loved the ship, one of our best!

Great February Vacation

February

Pros: great size ship; not too large that you are lost and not too small that you are bored

Cons: not as new so doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the larger newer ships---but you understand that from the beginning so not much of an issue

Recommended: Yes

The attention to detail during evening dinning was THE BEST that I have ever seen. We were at table 471 and had Head Waiter Hikmah and Asst. Waiter Ashraye. Hikmah was spot on. Not a thing was left unaccounted. They were a GREAT TEAM and made our dining a wonderful part of our cruise. it was more than about the food! Ken, cruise director was not the best I have seen on past Royal Cruises so that is why I am giving this cruise a 4-star and not 5 stars. I feel the cruise director sets the pace and Ken was just not as involved or energetic as I'd have expected or experienced in the past.

Super week

February

Pros: Good ports of call/great food/ super employees who cater to your needs/great price

Cons: Very limited breakfast menu/frequently repeated items on supper menu/ entertainment was disappointing

Recommended: Yes

Head waiter went out of his way by having the cooks recreate a dessert that I had 10 yrs ago, but was not on this year’s menu! Exceptional! Had to go to 3 floors on checking out day to find a working toilet Our fav pic by photographers was not purchased as staff would not crop out miscellaneous people on the edges of photo. Still...a wonderful week

Great Cruise

November

Pros: Excellent service; friendly staff and great food.

Cons: Seats too close together by pools.

Recommended: Yes

Excellent cruise!

Good

October

Pros: Lots of pool seating/better food choices/excellent staff. Everyone was genuinely courteous and they meant it! I was very impressed. Every single staff member I came in contact was exceptionally kind helpful and polite.

Cons: Excursion packages not well organized. I found the bed in the cabin to be a bit hard.

Recommended: No

October 2018

October

Pros: Everything was the Best

Cons: Trivia and games should be in bigger area...so many people enjoyed this

Recommended: No

Up the East Coast

July

Pros: Service and Waite Staff

Cons: Traveling with Rude New Yorkers

Recommended: Yes

There are so many things to love about The Adventure of the Seas, I'm not sure where to start. As Diamond Plus members my wife and I are not new to Royal, and since we live in California, where Royal is NOT, we've had to travel Princess and thus have a large basis from which to compare the two. There is no comparison. Royal is better, hands down, going away. The food in Royal's buffet, the Windjammer, far, far exceeds what Princess offers in their buffet, not to mention that it's more spacious and easier to navigate. We aren't treated poorly on Princess by the Waite and Service staff, but the friendliness and out going, sincere nature of Royal puts them in a class by themselves. As to the Adventure, it was NICE to once again see a Royal ship WITH a Viking Crown lounge. They've converted many of them to other venues on other ships, that it was a pure joy to go there, and have a quiet place to drink, and talk with friends and family..

adventure at sea

November

Pros: food ,room.staff

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

nice older ship,plenty to do, staff was nice and friendly. food was better then expected .

Nice Trip

April

Pros: Good food, good service. Very clean and easy to move around the ship. The water slides were great!

Cons: Two ports - Sint Maarten and Saint Kitts were pretty much write offs...very poor, bad infrastructure. Typical port shopping. Maitre'D was useless.

Recommended: Yes

The ship was great. Just updated in November 2016. The cabin steward Savio was awesome...he was invisible but available when you needed him. Great water slides, good entertainment. Shopping was just meh. Only one shore excursion, St. Lucia Island Delights, food was not good...Cruise lines could save a lot of money by not having Maitre'D's....they don't do anything. The servers were awesome.

Adventure of the Seas April 8, 2017 Cruise

April

Pros: Great service, great ship, best embarkation and debarkation I've ever experienced

Cons: Entertainment sub-par. While singers and dancers were excellent, there was too much

Recommended: Yes

I would definitely take another RCI cruise

Caribbean Cruise

March

Pros: Lots to do, great food, good shows, promenade rooms

Cons: Heat / a/c was inconsistent

Recommended: Yes

The staff was fabulous. Great room steward, dining waiter and assistant. Loved all of the shore excursions except the Chocolate Experience in St. Kitts. That seemed to be somewhat misrepresented and not worth the money. All other tours were great. The facilities were nicely rehabed recently. The ship had a lot of activities. We enjoyed all of the shows and watching the ice skating. The Flowrider was also fun to watch. We were impressed with the guest services staff when they tried to have a new suitcase repaired (damaged by RCCL), were unable to and replaced with a similar brand new piece of luggage. Turned a negative into a positive!

Phils

March

Pros: Very good trip and ship

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

Very Good trip and the Trikes in Aruba were great not through the cruse line have their own website

Our 3rd Family Cruise on the Adventure of the Seas

March

Pros: The staff were amazing. The ship has been refurbished and is beautiful. The food was very good. The children that were onboard were well behaved. There were lots of activities and caribbean music around the pool area. The weather was perfect.

Cons: none

Recommended: Yes

This was our third time on the Adventure of the Seas. We have been on the Oasis and Allure. While these large ships are beautiful and like a floating resort, the Adventure of the Seas felt like being on a cruise ship. These smaller ships can visit the true caribbean islands that the large ships can't. The staff are more attentive, they all seemed happy to be there and interact with the passengers more so then the staff on the large ships. We have taken many cruises and this was one of our very favorite family cruises. We will definitely return to the Adventure of the Seas.

Spectacular Vacation

March

Pros: Beautiful ship, helpful and friendly staff, beautiful ports, good food

Cons: nothing negative to say

Recommended: Yes

It was a fabulous vacation and met all of my expectations and more!

2016 Southern Caribbean Family Cruise

December

Pros: A hotel-transportation-dining-entertainment-relaxation experience

Cons: We couldn't get there fast enough!!

Recommended: Yes

Our family of 7 had the privilege of sailing this wonderful ship with the most wonderful staff and crew in the Caribbean! San Juan is amazing and I highly recommend you fly in the day before or stay and extra night to take in the amazing cultural and historical experience! The nightlifebis alive and buzzing with dancing and eating! St.Maarten truly is the friendliest island in the Caribbean and the beaches and people's are lovely. St Kitts to Antigua to St.Lucia to Barbados, never will you say, "I'm bored!", but, you will say, "What's next!" Huge shout out to Just Cruises and specifically Val Cusumano for her insightful advice, great suggestions, and an over all expertise on this journey! We loved it so much, we booked a Western on the Harmony of the Seas in 2018! I'd recommend nothing but Royal Caribbean and won't consider any other! Thanks Royal Caribbean and Just Cruises for a memory of a lifetime!

great cruise line overall.

September

Pros: Lots of food, get an outside stateroom with balcony, plenty to do.....

Enjoyed this cruise very much. The activities were great and entertainment was wonderful.

Southern Caribbean

March

Pros:

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

I think the larger and new ships are nicer but that goes with the territory. Once you travel on those you compare the cruise to that. I think the upkeep could be better on an older ship, ex. cleaner windows, light bulbs in that work( esp. the dining area) ..entertainment was good but the regular dance and singing team was not that great. The entertainment that they brought in was very good. If a ship says in the "dining room no shorts, lazy wear" then stick to that for everyone...why should some abide by rules and pack a heavier suitcase and others not. Food was excellent.

Spring 2016 Adventure of the Seas review

March

Pros: Absolutely superb dining comparable to the most highly rated cruise lines

Cons: Not really a "con", but this is a massive ship with 2,600+ guests, so be prepared for lots of company

Recommended: Yes

This is a beautiful large ship with outstanding dining, comfortable staterooms, terrific ports of call, and an attentive friendly staff. It is an excellent value, particularly for budget-conscious cruisers.

One of our best cruises!

February

Pros: Service was excellent! Food was delicious (couldn't believe it)! Entertainment was great! This was far superirior to that last 2 Celebrity and Axamara ships.Weather was fabulous the entire week.!!! Not a drop of rain.

Cons: Concierge was awful and the Diamond lounge was small and not at all special compared to most other ships.Specialty Italian restauran was awful.

Recommended: Yes

Our cabin and balcony were fabulous! The most storage we have ever had on any ship so far. Service was exceptional in cabin and dining room. Our sailin excursion in Domenica was amazing(we had never been there). Had the best time with Michael and Jill! First time ever that we were allowed to walk on with all of our luggage. That was really nice! Michael and Jill's first cabin was dirty and so they got upgraded to a bigger inside on deck 10. Will speak to you when you return from your vacation. I want to look into the Crystal cruise that sails to Costa del Sol, Canary Islands, and Portugal. If Royal Carib does something similar, I would consider it. Thanks, Debbie

Great experience

February

Pros: Well staffed and trained crew. Prompt service. Very organized.

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

This was our first cruise. The ship was always being cleaned and maintained. We enjoyed the staff that helped us feel at home and comfortable. It was a great way to spend our 25th anniversary. We hope to go on another cruise in the future. This time with our children.

Trip was great, good entertainment, staff friendly and efficient,.staterooms and balcony nice.

Less Than Expected, But Overall Fun!

July

Pros: Staff was friendly and happy. The ship was easily accessed. Room was clean. There are many nice places on the ship to gather together with friends and family.

Cons: Cafeteria stye food.

Recommended: Yes

As in our "cons" box, we were disappointed in the quality of food in the main dining room and the lack of personal needed in the buffet area. So without delicious freshly prepared and served food, a large part of the cruising experience is missing. The rest of the cruise was a lot of fun! We did enjoy Johnny Rockets one evening and treated ourselves to unlimited onion rings and fries! The pool area was active and a great place to spend our last day at sea when they had a fantastic barbecue of burgers, chicken, and all the trimmings. Yes, food is an important part of fun.

Recommended: Yes

We had outstanding wait staff. I want to commend the head waiter, Memzno,asst. waiter Rodel and our bar server Christian. They did an outstanding job. The food was fantastic but our servers made the meal enjoyable. Our room attendant, Frank Sandoval did an excellent job of taking care of our needs. All of these gentlemen did an outstanding job.
