Adventure of the Seas

This was our fourth RCI cruise; we've cruised 12+ with other lines. The food is really not good. The dining room food was bland and seemed like the same entrees were offered throughout the cruise. The buffet was over-crowded and unappetizing. The specialty restaurants were only slightly more appealing. Overall, the dining areas seemed under-staffed. We enjoy having a nice dining experience when we cruise (quality vs quantity) but that didn't happen on this cruise. The ice skating show was fabulous and comedians in the theatre were really entertaining. Unfortunately, the regular Lyric theatre shows were a notch above a high school production. It'll probably be a while before we try RCI again.

We enjoyed this cruise but were disappointed with the food in both the main dining room and the Windjammer. We have always enjoyed Royal Caribbean cruises and typically have found the food to be adequate but not special. This time I cannot even say it was adequate. The dining experience was not up to par for the quality we have experienced. I am not sure if the goal is to be mediocre and that will get people to eat in their premium restaurants, but the food quality and selection was not as good as we have experienced before. Other than that, the cruise met our expectations. The ports were very good. The entertainment except for the last comedian was excellent. The Adventure of the Seas has an ice rink and that show was outstanding. The service as always was over the top. But, since dining is such an important aspect of cruising, we might have to rethink cruising on Royal Caribbean in the future.

Not our first time cruising, but the first time we were not headed to a beach location. The ship was huge with plenty to do - just finding our way around took time. The staff was polite and attentive and the ship was clean. We had a nice stateroom with balcony and enjoyed the views coming in and out of ports. Food was plentiful (of course) and the excursions really gave us a taste of the various ports. Five stars!

Dining experience was excellent, was the highlight of our evenings.

Food service staff was excellent. Food quality served was only average very cafeteria style, main dining portions were very small (example: one carrot and one broccoli sprout was the side dish). Felt like they were always steering you to places to pay extra for what you already paid for. (did not have to pay for a burger and fries at the diner on my other cruise - they were included and unlimited) My Cruise with a different company had far superior food for the same price average. This Balcony cabin compared well to my other cruise on a different line. Cabin was well cared for but impersonal service compared to other ship. Recreation staff was A++ I'd give them a B to B+ over All. Probably will book another cruise line. Excursion was over priced and a poor experience - not worth it. Wandering around ports brought better fun and experiences.
