Review summary

We were thoroughly pleased with all of the employees on the Adventure of the Seas ship. They went above and beyond to make our trip enjoyable. Although we liked the spaciousness of our junior suite, #1646, the location on Deck 10, closer to the aft than mid-ship proved to be a noisy location. If you are a light sleeper I would think twice before booking a room on deck 10 toward the aft.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

I am not giving the cabin a high rating only because we are light sleepers and found the noise from the windjammer above us, as well as the vibration from the ship to be very disruptive.

Ship tip

The Adventure of the Seas was clean and very well staffed. We enjoyed the option of the adult only pool where we could relax and enjoy some quiet time.

Taxi drivers and beach chairs and umbrellas were very expensive but you can negotiate prices. Beware of individuals w monkeys that will try to get you to pay for photos w monkey.

Negotiate taxi fare and chair and umbrella rentals. The locals will try to take advantage.
