Review summary

Really enjoyed our first cruise. Great service and cruise ship.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
It was a bit chaotic due to it pouring out and didn't know exactly where we had to go once we dropped off our luggage. Definitely felt like a newby getting checked in and where we had to go.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was excellent in main dining room. Didn't eat in the buffet very much. Long wait to get omletts in windjammer so that was disappointing. Drinks were great. We had the deluxe drink package and enjoyed all the different drinks.

Entertainment

The comedians were all very good, enjoyed the ice show and the 70s disco party was a lot of fun. Only saw one of the singing/ dancing performances.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our waiter and assistant waiter at dinner were very good. Our room stewards was pretty good. Could have been a little more attentive to things needing to replaced (soap and Kleenex). All the bartenders were very good and friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was beautiful and easy to get around. Would cruise on Adventures on the Sea again.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had an interior cabin. Once we made the beds singles it felt more roomy in cabin. Lots of storage space in the cabin and bathroom.

Ship tip

Great drinks and music in Boleros.

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

2 out of 5
Our least favorite port. Did the jeep tour. St. Marteen is recovering from a hurrican and you can tell. Was dirty and run down in parts. The beach we went to had quite a bit of seaweed and they were pushy about renting beach chairs and selling stuff. Would have been better off going to the airport and watching the planes land.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

2 out of 5
We got a cabana which was nice to have. The water was calmer on that part of the island. Kids did watersport park and had fun there.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

2 out of 5
Our favorite port. Didn't do an excursion. Walked around old town and did some shopping. Went to the fort which was cool and had nice views from it. Enjoyed being there later and had a great dinner in old town.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

2 out of 5
Went to St. John's and enjoyed the beautiful beach. The water was warm and did some snorkeling. Very pretty.

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida
