We all enjoyed this cruise on Adventure of the Seas, not a huge ship so we could all meet up fairly easily. There were 16 of us and had early dining which was delicious every night. Our 2 tables were taken care of by a terrific staff , our table was 283. in the Windjammer Café the food was good but not much changed for breakfast and lunch. The staff was helpful and cleaned up quickly. I liked the Royal Promenade on the ship, there were two bars and live music at times. I could get my coffee in the cafe at anytime along with some small sandwiches and snacks. There was always something to do of course, the shows each night were well done and enjoyable. We had no problems with any of the excursions we booked through Royal. In St.Thomas we did the scuba/beach,which was lots of fun. Aruba was on a great, fun bus and Curacao we could have done without, the Trolley tour. Tripadvisor is where I get recommendations and reviews of independent tours and I booked one in St. Kitts, Island Paradise Tours. Disembarkation was fine, we did have a problem with one suitcase, we could not find it so placed a claim, three days later it was shipped home.
