newcruiser80 Posted February 13, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Just boarded Adventure of the Seas. All I have to say is this whole group of people just kills me. "Check-in is a nightmare," "the ship is tired," "the staff is grumpy," "bar staff is slow," blah blah blah. We arrived at the pier at 12:15. Found the platinum and above bag drop all the way to the left as indicated on these boards - great tip! And we're on the ship at 12:45. I've officially learned to never take people's reviews on this site seriously. The ship looks great! The staff is super friendly! We've been served instantly multiple times already and with many smiles. I'm so excited for a wonderful week. Give me a break! Sail Adventure. If you're miserable stay on shore and leave the fabulous vacations for those of us who appreciate it. Have a great time. Enjoy life!!! xoxo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited February 13, 2016 by newcruiser80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinfever Posted February 13, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 13, 2016 So happy to hear this. We will be on her in two weeks. Though I am a "half full " kind of person and I just always feel fortunate to be able to cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg1phileshipper Posted February 13, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Naysayers are everywhere and luckily I don't listen to them either. Enjoy your cruise. But from what I read here, I know you will. :) Cindy Verzonden vanaf mijn iPad met Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've always enjoyed the Adventure and her staff. Now get off your computer and start parting. Edited February 13, 2016 by davekathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yknot13 Posted February 13, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Obviously they replaced the entire crew from our sailing last week. It was hit and miss all week but overall a good cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geema Posted February 13, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 13, 2016 We were on the Adventure last August and we had very nice and friendly staff all over the ship. It was one of our favorite cruises and found nothing wrong with the way the ship looked. I suppose if someone looks for something negative they could find it. We never do, and if something happens it is forgotten fairly fast. Enjoy the rest of your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimAOk1945 Posted February 14, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) We have cruised on her twice and enjoyed it both times. Do you plan to post something on Cruise Critic each day or maybe post a review when you return home? Have a great cruise!

cruizeblues Posted February 14, 2016 #15 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) So happy and relieved to read your report! We will be on our 4th sailing aboard Adventure next month. Reading the recent negative reviews of disrepair and miserable staff made me sad because Adventure is our favorite ship (our first love) and we are so excited to sail her again, this time with our kids. I expect there to be cosmetic issues (peeling paint, etc.) hoping the crew is as friendly as we remember. I'm looking forward to a full review from the OP when he returns.

yknot13 Posted February 14, 2016 #24 Share Posted February 14, 2016 smart ass reply! Some folks just live life to be whiners and complainers........:rolleyes::rolleyes: Where you on the cruise last week? I was and the service was noticeably lacking from several crew members. I don't consider myself a complainer. There is know excuse for poor service. As I stated it was hit and miss, what upset me the most is I do not drink alcohol and had the Royal replenish package which includes non alcoholic cocktails, when I ordered several times the bar staff acted as they were being put out for having to do their job.
