I know the ship is 14 years old, but standard cleaning shouldn't be forgotten. Everywhere from our room to the general areas was dirty. We've been on the Oasis, the Allure and most recently, the Jewel. Maybe we were spoiled by the Jewel because the Adventure was a significant step backwards. The Captain on the Jewel was very particular. He wouldn't even start the muster drill until EVERY passenger was in their stations. The Adventure was done, including the Captain's message, before everyone filed in. Not high on my priority list but just shows the level of detail. The Jewel was amazing!!!! Always spotless, better food, and WAYYYYY better staff. The Adventure could use some training from that crew. Even the fitness center was a mess. The weight blocks on the machines were rusted together. Seriously??? And it's due for a major update. Get some new gear that reflects the times.

The biggest letdown is the lack of any consistency with RCL. The Oasis was great! The Allure after that, not so much. Gave RCL another chance with the Jewel which we loved!!! Only to be let down by the Adventure again. RCL needs to build consistency in order to maintain a loyal customer base who will help them attract new customers. Even with my status in both Crown and Anchor as well as in the Casino, I am not sure we will be back on a RCL cruise any time soon.

Oh.... and the Adventure is still dealing with the gastrointestinal virus, years after it was first contaminated. Based on the cleanliness of the ship, I'm not surprised. You could Purell that thing top to bottom and that won't replace good ole fashion elbow grease.
