Adventure of the Seas - an AMAZING Adventure

[TwinMom7]

Sailed last week. Here we go, in a nutshell.

 

Flew in a day early and stayed at the Sheraton Old San Juan. Very nice place and about a 10 minute cab ride to the cruise port.

 

Arrived at port at 11:30 and we were on board at 12:30.

 

We did purchase drink packages. Beer package for husband and one step up for me. I did get him an occasional rum and coke with my package. We were a port intensive cruise - so I'm hoping we broke even.

 

In our rooms at 2:00 and luggage was there, waiting on us.

 

Muster at 5:45 - for us in the Imperial Lounge. We were in Room 1230 on Deck 10.

 

Dinner on the first night is pushed to 6:30 because of Muster.

 

We ate dinner in MDR every night except for Tuesday - Giovanni's.

 

We found the Windjammer to be a great breakfast choice. Also - YUMMY nachos for an afternoon snack.

 

Getting off the ship on port days - piece of cake.

 

We booked all excursions on our own - not through RCCL. Best two days were St. Lucia (Joe Knows St. Lucia) and Barbados (Calypso Cruises). These were two days and two excursions I'll remember FOREVER!!!

 

Disembark - very simple. Tip the porter $10 and he'll take your luggage through the customs/immigration line. We passed up all the long lines and we were through in 10 minutes.

 

We found the ship to be clean, our stateroom spotless, the food was all we could hope for. No complaints from us!!

thank you for the review. I'll be on her in a few short months and it's always nice to hear good things.

Thanks for the post.

 

Eight weeks from today, we'll be arriving in San Juan. This will be our first Royal cruise since our honeymoon 12 years ago.

We board our old standby next Saturday on what is probably the same itinerary..

 

Good to hear she's still doing well.
