My wife and I went on the Adventure of the Seas leaving out of San Juan on June 25th, 2016. It was our 8th cruise taken on this cruise line .....it was for our 25th anniversary. We had a Junior Suite overlooking the back of the boat on the 10th floor. How beautiful it was!! We were treated to chocolate covered strawberries and champagne in the room upon our arrival...and we savored our experience all week long! Ports of call were amazing.....St Maarten, Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao...unbelievable!! We only booked a couple of royal-sponsered excursions.....as in some ports we just asked for directions to the nearest beach from ship personnel and wandered off.
Our best find was the infinity pool at the Marriot Renaissance hotel in Willemstad, Curacao!!! I saw the pool from the top deck of the ship upon docking at 8AM and just headed that way upon disembarking. Come to find out the hotel offered a one day pass for $40 per person which included the most complete and delicious "boxed lunch" anyone could imagine!! ..complete with Caesar salad and cheesecake. It was a memory my wife and I will never forget. The salt water pool was amazing...swam to the edge of the pool and watch the waves crash against the rocks ...all the while our ship in full view!! We HIGHLY recommend cruisers check this out!!!
The only down side of the entire trip was our meal on our anniversary night at Giovanni's Table. We had been on the Explorer of the Seas in "Portofino" which was the mirror image of this restaurant and had expected a most fantastic meal as we had received on Explorer. Not the case here. Food was delivered cold....without any form of presentation as Portofino had done... just not the same....a disappointment on our big night.
Very spacious !! Enjoyed it immensely
We found our own excursion at The West Deck..a bar/restaurant just down the street from where ship was docked...Roberto the bartender was great!!!!! What an experience..BEACHES are beautiful!!!
We just ventured off the ship to the infinity pool at the Marriot Renaissance hotel
No excursion.but stayed at the Marriott Stellaris Hotel and Casino!!!! AWESOME....so beautiful and staff was so kind and accommodating
