Review summary

It was very similar to the experience that we had last year, same week same exact cruise on adventure of the Seas. Food was very good for the most part. Windjammer seemed better then the main dining room on most days as far as the food quality. There were no lines or waits for anything on the ship. The entire crew was awesome. Every crew member is friendly. approachable and very willing to provide great service. Our fellow passengers were all well mannered nice friendly people and everybody seemed to have a great time. The ship is starting to show its age. Carpeting needs to be replaced lots of rust on the pool deck. However everything is kept very clean and in working order.

Food and Dining

Food was pretty good in the MDR, Windjammer food actually seemed better. We had a great waitstaff in the MDR. Ida and Vinit were phenomenal!

Onboard Activities

Enough to keep you busy, but certainly not as vibrant as a Carnival Cruise, which was fine since we recently did 2 Carnival Cruises and liked the quiter vibe of this RCI cruise.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Can't Stop The Rock was a new show and very good! The rock band Switched On were excellent as well as the Caribbean band by the pool. The singer who did the Whitney Houston show was great. Although the above mentioned are definitely 5 stars in my opinion, I've rated 3 stars, since the other shows were not very good, even though the singers, dancers and orchestra are very talented, the productions were not very good and the comediens were so so.

Showing its age, carpeting, sink and furniture are all very worn. However our room steward kept everything clean, and everything worked perfectly.

Ship tip

We've cruised on Adventure twice and had a great time both cruises. Adventure is showing it's age but is kept clean. It's a solid choice if you are looking for a mid size ship at a decent price. We never waited on lines for anything, and the crew and fellow passengers were all awesome. If you are seeking the wow factor and the latest technology, then the Oasis or Quantum class ships would be more to your liking.

Glad you enjoyed. My very first cruise was on The Adventure of the Seas in 2004.

Adventure certainly isn't new but it doesn't look 18+ years old. Generally carpet is replaced during drydocks every 5yrs or so. Adventure is scheduled for next year.
