Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Cruise Reviews for Senior to Europe

I expected a lot of activities going on all the time since the ship is so big, yet the majority of the floors are for cabins, leaving not a ton of public space for the 6,000+ passengers onboard. Buffet, shows, pool, jacuzzi, everything is jam packed of people. There's a line to get breakfast in the morning and to do any of the activities (wave rider, rock climbing wall, zipline, ect). Each port is ...

In 2013 we sailed out of Rome on the Navigator of the seas. It was our first cruise and it was almost perfect. The ship was spotless the crew were friendly and polite. We learned a lot from this cruise. And one of the things we did learn was to travel from Canada to Europe a few days earlier than the sailing date, and get over the jet lag. The Navigator of the Seas was due to depart from ...

Have today returned from 12 nights around Western Med and am very disappointed. First went on this ship in 2010 and loved it. Now not so sure. Yes it was August but the ship was over run with out of control children. Not too bad during the day but at night time it was a joke. They were everywhere and no one was controlling them; least of all their parents who were nowhere to be seen. They were ...

Recently returned from Iceland and Norway Cruise. I had high expectations of Royal Caribbean having travelled with them before. However the downside for me this time was the very tired state of my Jubior Suite Stateroom - furniture badly needing replaced, bathroom and shower facilities requiring attention and the entire cabin requireing some TLC. Many of the staff were reaching the end of their ...

The refurbishment of the ship in April was not very extensive, many of the public areas are looking very tired. The biggest change was to replace the very nice Italian restaurant Portofino with a very ordinary Italian restaurant called Giovanni's table. From the low end cutlery and crockery, cheap table cloth and "rustic" menu, you know this is another cost cutting exercise by the bean-counters at ...

My Wife and I have sailed with Royal Caribbean twice before and had a wonderful time.we sailed on The Adventure of the Seas on 13th October for14 nights to France Spain and Portugal.Things have changed ,they are cutting back on a lot of things.We had lovely big Stateroom but no Toiletries provided any more,Bed was very hard and uncomfortable.They used to have wonderfull Guest lectures all thru ...

Embarkation at Southampton took about 40 minutes. I think we arrived at peak time about noon, so could have avoided queues if slightly earlier or later. It was generally stress-free and we were on the ship fairly quickly - then: the first surprise. There was a huge line to get into the Windjammer for lunch, followed by crowds of people inside searching for tables. Not a relaxing start to our ...

11 months have passed and I still get nightmares. If you like Butlins you'll LOVE Adventure of the Seas. 4000 crammed on board - great if you like queuing for food! A really classy experience - some of the finest tattoos seen on a cruise ship anywhere! The main restaurant was okayish for dinner, but the food was of extremely poor standard. Dishes were given fancy names but this didn't disguise ...

I really enjoy cruises as one of three main types of holiday that my partner and I take. To us, a cruise is a great way to 'sample' countries and destinations and to be made to feel special. One of our ports was labelled as Seville. Cadiz is NOT Seville (which is about 50km inland). As the itinerary listed Livorno and Civitavecchia - why claim Seville when you are docking at Cadiz? We ...

We had a disappointing experience on the Adventure of the Seas. We thought the ship was tired, smelly and not very clean, as did other passengers. We have cruised many times but this was the first and last time with Royal Caribbean. It was very overcrowded with not much seating in any of the public spaces. Windjammer restaurant almost impossible to get a seat. Night time diningroom staff were ...
