Sail Date: Mar 2015
Cabin: Junior Suite

This was our 2nd time on the Adventure of the Seas (AOS), the first being in 2009. This was our first time we had repeated on a ship. I like the Voyager class a lot, it's big, but also small.

I think the itinerary is great, 2 stops, a day at sea, 2 stops and a day at sea. I like it when the shore dates are broken up a bit.

This was the first time we stayed in an aft balcony, and I will probably do it again. The room was 1394, a Junior suite. The aft view truly was amazing. But, man!, that walk to the cabin is really something else. You have to think twice about "just running back to the cabin for something".

Junior Suite

Cabin JS

The aft balconies on AOS have some framework outside of them which takes away a little of your view. It wasn't like they were obstructed but you would have to be careful how you took a camera shot so as not to get the framing in the picture. Also, the deck 10 balconies look down on the balconies of decks 9 and 8. Just below us was the Royal FAmily Suites and for that kind of money, I'd expect more privacy. But it was wide open for me to see the whole balcony. McAllan was a great room steward.

For a junior suite, it seemed like the largest one so far that we have stayed in. Also, the balcony itself was huge and covered. We had more room inside than most. Although the "walk in closet" really wasn't. It was wedged into a corner so it was kind of triangular. There was more room in the back than at the door. It was quiet too. I woke up twice during the cruise at around 4am and I could hear some tables being moved up in the Windjammer, which is right above you. But I never heard any other noise from the Windjammer all cruise. And the hallway was quiet as no-one walks back there who doesn't need to be back there.

San Juan

We did our own excursion to El Yunque rainforest after the cruise. That is a wonderful park and is not to be missed when you go to Puerto Rico. We found a nice roadside restaurant where we had some very tasty chicken kabobs with rice and beans. The lookout tower has some great views. Too bad we didn't get to spend more time there, but our GPS took us off course at the beginning and we wasted about an hour seeing some of the lesser known sights around El Yunque
