Review summary

Ship is going into dry dock for renovations a week after our cruise, and it showed. Water dripping from the ceilings (condensation?) Furniture worn and stained. They seemed to have been short staffed too, and only one specialty (besides Johnny Rocket's which shouldn't be specialty) and one main dining room for dinner. Windjammer was always crowded, no healthy food options. It was deceiving when you looked up the ship, what was on Adventure of the Seas and what was on the other ships. I wish we had taken the cruise AFTER the renovations.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

They were pretty lame and drawn out.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The comedians were the best entertainment. The ice show was pretty good too.

Children's Programs

3 out of 5

We didn't have children with us, it was 3 couples.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The servers, etc. in the dining room were awesome. Most of the bartenders were great too

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

I thought I'd get extras, like entrance into the concierge room. But the fine print then said it was only for gold suites. When you state available for "suites" it should be all suites. But our cabin was spacious, it wasn't very clean when we first got there and no shampoo or creme rinse (had to ask)

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Was on her end of May beginning of June, not a problem, loved it, although I wish the FlowRider & 2 story putt putt course was on board.
