Just back from a family holiday on Adventure of the Seas out of Malag to celebrate my 60th and my son's 30th. Took my daughter and hubbie and grandson and my son (of course). My wife and I had told them of our previous experiences and particularly our liking of the Voyager class ship. Unfortunately we have seen a drop in the quality of the overall experience. The ship was tired looking - e.g. significant rust around our balcony door, missing light fittings - one has to wonder what other levels of on-board maintenance have suffered.

The evening shows in the past have been excellent. Whilst the drive and enthusiasm of the cast remains high the production and set quality have reduced with less of the more effective scene changes and set back-drops. The 'Mr and Mrs' show used to be a 3.00pm afternoon bit of fun. This time it was a prime time evening show, replacing what would have been a cast member show with all the trimmings or a guest entertainer.

Smoking was allowed in ALL bars except the Champagne Bar. Sectioning of an area in other bars is stupid. Smoke knows no barriers and permeates the whole bar. Try blowing smoke into a balloon and then try keeping it to the left hand side - impossible! On bar staff member told me smoking policy is set by the Hotel director - surely not. But then maybe this is why the smoking set up on Navigator from Venice in Sept 11 was different?
