Review summary

Just terrible food. What in the world has happened to RC's food offerings and quality. About the best thing RC did was provide a first-class interpreter for our deaf sister for the entire cruise at no cost to us. This was an excellent service and we really appreciated it. Overall, Adventure is not a ship we'd ever recommend, and the ports it visits are just not worth the cost of this itinerary.

Food and Dining

Maybe the worst food experience on a RC ship ever, especially the main DR and Windjammer. Only really memorable meal was in Chops.

She's getting old and worn out.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Adjoining inside Prominade view cabins for 4. Served our needs pretty well, was clean and well kept but in need of many upgrades.

Ship tip

Keep your expectations very low and you won't be disappointed.

Ports of call

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

3 out of 5
Terrible beach and very costly to rent a spot on one of the nicer beaches.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

1 out of 5
Will never to the DR again. Not a fan of anything there. But the area at the end of the pier with the pools and chairs is OK.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

4 out of 5
About the only really good day off the ship.

I had the absolute opposite experience. The food on the Adventure was some of the best I've had in years. I'm sorry it was an awful experience for you.

It's absolutely wonderful that they provided an interpreter. My wife has been learning ASL for her students. Sorry the food was not great. Thanks for sharing your review.

I was on the Adventure in January and loved the food. Personnel were excellent. For a ship over 20 years old, I felt it was in great shape. I would definitely sail on her again.
