Review summary

We enjoyed ourselves on Adventure of the Seas. The itinerary and staff were great. For those who were wondering about the dry dock...Ship is well cared for and windjammer, dining room and public areas seem updated and nicely refreshed. Waterslides, mini golf and flow rider were functioning. Chops is still not completed. Rooms and hallways still need to complete the interrupted renovations. We were on deck 9 and had old carpet and furnishings, Although other rooms in our floor were starting to get new carpet. Room attendant worked hard to keep it clean and refreshed. We loved the comedian, ice show, illusionist, guitarist, 80's name that tune, quest game, love and marriage show and the cruise director. The singing & dancing shows felt more like high school productions and seem to lack modern appeal. Our ports were St Maarten, St Kitts, Antigua, St Lucia, and Barbados. We enjoyed every port and found something enjoyable to do at every port, so don't listen to those who say don't get off the ship. We even changed our friend's opinion of st. Kitts! ;) The pool deck activities lacked the love and vibrancy other ships have had. It was dead at night, no fun food or popcorn at the pool movies. Not sure what makes this ship different, but people are not lying about the odors. Decks 1-3 permanently smelled of sewage and it would often linger up to 5, even to the edges of the promenade. It was foul. We ate twice at Giovanni's. The limited Chops menu offers one steak, the New York Strip, and side dishes. Food is subjective, but I probably wouldn't pay for Giovanni's again, didn't love it as much as Chops. Overall, we had a great time, after all it's a cruise! But I think we prefer Freedom class.
