Sail Date: Jan 2016
Cabin: Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

Flew from Tampa, non-top to San Juan via JetBlue landing mid morning with plenty of time to get to port. Taxi system from SJU is very smooth and flat rate of $27 for our party of 4.

Arrived at a very congested and confusing Pan AM port around 11:30. Clearly very chaotic compared to most US ports. Especially delayed to drop off bags. Once inside terminal things became more organized. Do keep in mind that Duty Free shop is just inside terminal to pick up some wine, water or soft drinks before embarking. Once processed at RCL counter we proceeded directly onto the ship heading to Windjammer before 12:30.

Chose this cruise because of itinerary and love Voyageur class of ship. Adventure did not disappoint. No doubt she is ready for refurb this October, however still a beautiful vessel despite some evidence of wear and age.

Cabin Review

Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin D1

Excellent level AFT balcony location. Corner unit with larger cabin and very roomy balcony. Balcony included 2 chairs, 2 tables and 2 loungers - great view and very private. Located below Windjammer but NO evidence of noise. Room is showing some signs of wear with furniture, carpet and bathroom but did not affect our stay. There is a pole to contend with in the cabin - but you will only walk into it once! There is also a structure type beam on the balcony but was no problem. Recommended. Great steward with Udine.

Port Reviews

St. Croix

Took and island tour with private driver.

St. Kitts (Port Zante)

Took a private island tour with taxi.

St. Maarten

Took private taxi van tour. Beautiful, developed island but very congested, busy roads.

Barbados

Took a private taxi van tour of the entire island. Atlantic side very picturesque coast but not very developed. Smaller population than expected. Had lunch on Caribbean side where high end places exist. Not what I expected for sure. Did good tour of Harrison Caves.
