My husband, daughter (27), and son (24) left for a wonderful cruise aboard the Adventure of the Seas on March 11, 2007. We flew into San Juan on Sunday, and arrived at the airport at approximately 1 p.m. Embarkation was quick. We got our sea passes, and placed our carry-on luggage in our cabins (two Promenade cabins: 7603 and 7601). My son and husband went to the Fort, while my daughter and I went to Dooney & Bourke, where we purchased two purses. Then it was back to the ship.

Our previous cruise was on the Navigator of the Seas. When we began exploring the Adventure, we remarked how it felt as if we had not even left the Navigator. The Adventure is in excellent shape, and is a beautiful ship. We did not have the beds/bedding replaced in our cabins, but I did ask for the egg crates, and that helped out immensely. We enjoyed the captain, Per Arne Kjonso, and looked forward to his daily musings - at times lengthy, but enjoyable nonetheless.

The Entertainment: Excellent Day One: Sarah and Daniel - excellent; Eric Lyden, comedian - hilarious, and the Royal Caribbean Dancers and Singers. Day Two: The Original Drifters - EXCELLENT. They performed their hit songs. Later that evening, Eric Lyden gave a late-night adult comedy show. Absolutely hilarious. The audience egged him on. Day Three: The Ice Show, "Cool Art, Hot Ice" - Not to be missed - we went on Thursday evening. Day Four: The Royal Caribbean Singers and Dancers, "Can't Stop the Rock" - We enjoyed this production; it was the better of their two performances. Day Five: El Gaucho (interactive comedy, music, and visual effects): excellent; as well as the ice show, "Cool Art Hot Ice". Day Six: The Royal Caribbean Singers and Dancers, "Velvet Rope" - we were not as impressed with this performance. Day Seven: Carl Banks, comedian: Excellent; Sarah & Daniel: Excellent; and, the Royal Caribbean Dancers and Singers. As well, there were many other entertainment venues around the ship. We played a couple of trivia games in the Schooner Bar, and enjoyed the performers in the Duck and Dog and the Schooner Bar. We always enjoy Quest, and this week's game did not disappoint. This is adult comedy, and not to be missed. If anyone can be easily offended, they should not attend. I could go on and on about the entertainment. There really was so much to do. Read more
