Just off Adventure's last Southern Caribbean sailing before the repositioning, and we had a blast. We've cruised with RCI 6 other times, and this is our 2nd cruise on Adventure, and the service was better on this cruise than any of our other 4 Voyager class sailings...Flight to San Juan was special.. On US Air, got a last minute upgrade to First Class and the flight was awesome...Easy to get a taxi from SJU to the port. Four of us, $26 including 7 bags... Much better than the transfer service which we used last time..Embarkation: Hint: If you are a RCI platinum or above.. find the priority check in line. We were on the ship in 10 minutes while the line to drop off luggage was very, very long..Found our dining room assignment.. just as requested.. Up on Deck 5. Our waiters Deckster and Rondo, affectionately known as Brad Pitt and Spiderman.. were absolutely great all week.. We had dinner each night in about an hour, which was great for the kids.Hint: The "My-Time" dining option put everybody in the Deck 5 level of the dining room.. but there was always a 10 minute wait to be seated.. We were main seating, and always walked right in.. A matter of choice, I guess.. but I dont like waiting in line on vacation...Our staterooms : Connecting staterooms facing the promenade are awesome for a family with kids or teens. I know they are a little small, and have no balcony, but they are functional and the price is right to not jam 4 people in one stateroom.. Our stateroom attendant Rick took care of anything and everything we asked for promptly..Service in Portofino was excellent as always, though we thought the service in Johnny Rockets was a little slow in getting drinks and taking orders, even when it wasnt busy with the ship in Port.If you like mojitos - See Orlando in the Lobby Bar. Best drinks on the ship!!Didn't see many shows.. but the ice show was awesome!My daughters (10 and 13) loved the kids program and the teen club, so my wife and I got to spend some time in the spa and in the casino.. Spa service was great.. we enjoy the Rasul which was great, but the tile in the shower needs some grout and is showing its age a bit..

Cabin Review

Promenade Stateroom

Cabin PR

PR cabins are small, but functional.. Getting 2 connecting cabins is an economical way to cruise comfortably with kids. Having the view of the promenade makes a difference compared to a typical inside stateroom.
