I guess you could say we are "gym rats". Exercise has always been part of our lifestyle. In addition to entertainment and
food, we enjoy all the other benefits onboard. living on the port of New York, we have enjoyed Norwegian, RCL, Princess
and Celebrity.
We have noticed that newer ships in all lines are dropping some amenities. Adventure of the Seas, while it does not have
"Go-carts" ...
Just return from our cruise. We had a good time. The crew was perfect, such great service. However the cabin needs lots of love.

The size of the ship is perfect. You get around easily. The common rooms are very beautiful. You never feel crowded.
However, it is due for a renewal especially the ...
We chose to take this short cruise from our home port in the NY area because the price was good. My wife and I sailed on Royal Caribbean once before on Navigator OTS. We have cruised with primarily with Princess and NCL in the past.
For this short Adventure cruise, we took our 4 year old daughter along. We booked cabin 7500 which is an "Ultra Spacious Ocean View." The cabin layout is unique and ...
So I booked this cruise for 3 cabins for a total party of 11 people. The boat is nice and seems to be well kept. The food was good and the staff in the dining room was great. They seemed to have a pretty decent handle on the covid thing and they had "guards" lol waiting at the buffet to ensure people washed their hands. Cabins were clean and nice. The ice skating show was incredible! The other ...
There were a few good things however the bad significantly outweighed the good.
It was way too crowded. The hot tubs and pools were overcrowded.
The room was need of repair. Some of the hinges did not work. Also, the service for the room was poor. On one day they did not deliver fresh towels.
The food in the windjammer was not great and there was not enough variety.
At least the food ...
My family and I have cruised with Royal Caribbean many times and have enjoyed them in the past. However, in recent years the experience has become increasingly subpar and pedestrian. Our recent experience will be our last.
Customer service is a thing of the past at Royal Caribbean.
There are two statements that are independently true.
1. Royal Caribbean makes mistakes.
2. The staff ...
I will start by saying we had a good time. A lot of that had to do with simply being on vacation, cruising again and having people caterer to you. However, there were so many issues that make me question whether we had bad luck or RC is cutting costs everywhere.
First, embarkation was a disaster. We were told the system was "down". People were standing outside for hours (11-2:30~ish). Systems ...
We decided to go on this cruise because on son and his family were going. It was a short 5 night cruise out of Bayonne NJ. When we entered the parking lot- it was mobbed- other cruise ships using it- we had to go to a distant outdoor lot. A walk from the terminal. They did have a shuttle bus if you wanted to wait for it. We entered the very mobbed terminal and check-in was smooth and easy. ...
Adventure of the Seas is a gorgeous ship, well-maintained and elegant. The promenade on Deck 5 had a European flair to it with more elegance than some of the over the top glitz I’ve seen on other ships. Lots of bells and whistles with an ice skating rink, boogie boarding, stand up surfing, rock climbing wall, and sports area.
I ate all of my meals in the well-appointed main dining room. ...
My wife and i sailed on the anthem for the second time on a cruise to new england and canada. We were both disappointed this time with most everything on the ship especially the food. The food quality in both the specialty restaurants and the dining room were less than average. We ate in chops 3 times and once in jamies and were for the most part disappointed. We had a balcony room in what i ...
