Review summary

We didn't enjoy this royal Carribbean ship as much as some of the other we went on. The bed was very uncomfortable but the room steward put more padding on it to make it better. We didn't like the entertainment and the food, especially anything that was beef which was very tough, was not as good as on other ships.

Here is what we got for our 11.19.16 cruise... Due to extensive damage incurred at the shipyard, as well as the global rerouting of cargo ships carrying equipment and materials, the original renovation plan has been modified. In an effort to create the least amount of disruption to our guests’ vacation plans, the ship will still exit dry dock on November 14, as previously planned, to embark on its scheduled itineraries. Throughout the ship, your clients will notice an updated design and décor, as well as newly renovated areas such as Boleros Latin lounge and the two-story mini golf course. As the ship re-enters service, we will be working diligently to put the finishing touches on the following new features. Work will continue on the Dual Racer water slides, FlowRider and Splashaway Bay aqua park with a new opening date of December 10th, 2016.Chops Grille will now open early next year, while Izumi Japanese Cuisine is no longer part of the planned scope. Giovanni’s Table, already a guest-favorite onboard Adventure of the Seas, will offer select Chops Grille menu items until the steakhouse opens in early 2017. The introduction of new staterooms is no longer possible at this time. Guests booked in these staterooms will be contacted by a representative from our Customer Service team to discuss re-accommodation options on the same sailing. All guests on Adventure of the Seas sailings departing November 14th - December 3rd, 2016 will be offered a 25% Future Cruise Credit based on the cruise fare paid.

yes this will be true. I bet they work like dogs on the excursion days cause most people will be off ship.

So the people that are scheduled during November/December will have a front row seat to all the renovations? But...won't get to use them. ( such as the slides)

We were on her again in September and loved the bed and pillows. I guess it depends what type of mattress you like. No issues though. Slept every night like babies.

We loved her in July. Other than the rooms needing updated, we didn't find anything to complain about. Perfect sized ship, promenade set up was awesome, food quality and selection was on point...super friendly staff. Boarding line was long, but wow...great ship!
