Adventure of the Seas is a wonderful ship, and we would most definitely be glad to sail on her again! The captain and crew were great, and we had a fantastic cruise! Overall, we give it 5 stars and two thumbs up!

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Food was great! We ate in the MDR 5 nights. The food was great, as was the service. Our waiter and assistant waiter, Agnelo and Eddie, were awesome! Fast with our orders, and food was always hot and delicious. Windjammer Buffet was fine. Food and service were as we experienced on previous cruises, but again, service was with a smile and instant. Brunch in the MDR on sea days was a treat as well. Made to order salads were awesome! Cafe Promenade pizza was consistently good every night. Bar service was good and drinks were tasty!
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and getting a tan on the main pool deck. We also had fun playing ping pong and miniature golf at Adventure Dunes. All seemed to be well maintained and staffed.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Evening shows were varied. Some, like the Elton John impersonator, were great! Royal Caribbean singers and dancers were a bit weak, but not bad. The orchestra was awesome! We also enjoyed two movies on the large screen above the pool.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Staff and level of service were exemplary!! Stand outs included our room steward, Clifton, who always greeted us with a smile and kept our cabin spotless and our wait staff, Agnelo and Eddie who took great care of us in the MDR and went above and beyond the call to keep us happy. We enjoyed Eddie's magic tricks at the conclusion of dinner most every night! All of the crew we had contact with seemed friendly and willing to help with anything we needed.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Adventure of the Seas is a beautiful ship, and well maintained. Every place seemed clean, and we noticed crew members touching up places on the open decks to keep things looking fresh and new. Voyager class ships are my favorites because they're not too big and not too small. Everything is easy to locate.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
We have only booked interior cabins, and find them to be more than adequate for two people. Our cabin was clean and comfortable. The bed was soft and comfortable, and I appreciated the two pillows per person since that's what I sleep on at home. TV reception was good and we received several channels. The bathroom was fine, and the shower, tho small, was big enough. The couch had a couple of small stains, but nothing terrible. The closet was fine, and we had plenty of room for our clothes and shoes. Overall we enjoyed our cabin very much when we were there.
Ship tip
If you want to relax and enjoy beautiful scenery, go to the Viking Crown Lounge day or evening for beautiful views of the pool deck and sea and also deck 4 outside, port or starboard for awesome views of the sea and a relaxing place to read or nap!
Bonaire was an interesting place, but much more tuned to divers, snorklers, and boaters. Of the thre "A,B,C" Islands, this one is least developed. Also found it interesting that when we inquired with a local about restroom facilities, she steered us to a .35 pay toilet! Still, beautiful scenery and friendly people.
Although we did not see the whole island, what we did experience was beautiful. Palm Beach was beautiful and we enjoyed swimming in the ocean and hanging out on the beach for a bit. Later we explored Oranjestad, and liked what we saw.
RCI did a great job getting us off the ship. The process worked like a well oiled machine, and we were off the ship and on our way out of the port in a bit less than an hour.
