Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Cruise Reviews for Family to the Mediterranean

This was our 4th cruise, 3rd with RCI and worst. It started of with the utter chaos at Southampton waiting to board the ship, due to the deep clean and the Norovirus outbreak from the previous cruise that was being carried out on board the ship. We had received the e-mail to tell us about the deep clean so paid extra to our hotel to keep our room longer. But at 2pm we had to head for the ship. ...

This was our 7th Cruise, 1st time with Royal Caribbean, previously with MSC and Carnival. From what I'd read and heard about Royal Caribbean was expecting it to be something quite special with lots going on and although this is one of their medium sized boats it appeared to have plenty of stuff on it to keep the kids occupied. The boat was in good order and appeared to have been well maintained, ...

We have sailed with RCI for over 12 years and are Diamond members. Having sailed on various other RCI ships we are used to the way RCI operate and the experience we were getting. A lot of the experience comes down to the type of ship you are on and when/where you are sailing. Positives: * Quick embarkation in Southampton * Clean, presentable stateroom * Happy & welcoming staff - particularly ...

Sailed on Adventure of the seas 08/05/14 – 23/05/14 have not sailed with RC for quite a few years. We found the transfers on and off the ship very smooth and very quick. We had a balcony suite plenty of storage space and full length wardrobe bathroom ok with walk in shower , room and bathroom are clean but badly in need of updating bed was comfortable and bed linen nice and clean, towels in ...

Overall, we had a great trip, but we were somewhat disappointed with the Adventure. This is our 9th cruise, 8 on RCCL, and we really like the Voyager class of ship. The Adventure had just been in a short dry-dock, mostly for mechanical maintenance. They put in new flat-screen TV's and a few other updates, but there were many parts of the ship showing wear. During our cruise they replaced the ...

Looked forward to this cruise as had a busy year and there would be no hassle of flying!! Was pleased with everything on board. All staff were friendly and helpful . This was our eighth cruise with Royal Caribbean so we knew how everything would be. The few things we were disappointed in was not anything RCI had failed on. The failings were on some, in fact quite a few, of our fellow Brits. The ...

My wife and I have just come back from an Italian Med cruise. We cruised on the 4th August 2013 from Southampton. Overall we had a fantastic time but there are some gripes which we never had on our only other previous cruise on the 'Independence of the Seas' in 2011. First of all the bad points. Too many children allowed to run riot throughout the ship especially on the stairwells (Where were ...

This was our third cruise with RCI and a majority of it lived up to expectation. The staff were polite and the service provided was excellent and cannot be faulted, for example, I had turkey one evening in the restaurant and asked for some cranberry sauce. With none present, the head waitor went to the buffet restaurant, the Windjammer, to gather some for me. Excellent service. However, there ...

The ship - the Adventure is starting to show her age some at this point but is well maintained. We saw people cleaning constantly and feel the staff did a great job in this area. The Ports - we enjoyed all the ports. We loved Malaga! It was beautiful, not too crazy with us tourists, and our tapas tour was great. We did ship tours in every port but Cannes and were happy with them for the most ...

We have cruised with Royal Caribbean (our preferred cruise line) a number of times but this was our first time on Adventure of the Seas. Although the ship is a few years old now we still found her to be in really good shape and are aware she is to be refitted for 2014. Staff were constantly cleaning all areas and I was especially pleased to see staff encouraging guests to use the Hand Sanitizers ...
