Considering Adventure of the Seasfrom San Juan - one question

[DShock]

Leaving from SJ is our favorite, especially when Jewel was there. Doing b2b's with their different itineraries was the BEST Now its Adventure. I know its a great ship but we have an issue with the balconies for GS and OS rooms. The rail, instead of being all glass, is half metal (at the bottom) with glass on the top half... at least that is what the photos show. I was told by a TA friend of mine that when Adventure underwent its last refurb that all balconies changed to all glass. Can someone confirm what it is...all glass or half glass with metal on bottom?

The balconies on AD (as well as Voyager and Explorer) are built into the hull of the ship. Not sure how it would be possible to change them to all glass. I think you were given bad info.

Here are a couple of photos of Adventure I took in February, which is after the last refurb. (I was wondering the same thing as you so when I ran across Adventure in Barbados I zoomed in and snapped some pics.)

Jewel of the Seas will be back in San Juan next winter. In winter 2019 Freedom of the Seas will be replacing Adventure of the Seas in San Juan. Freedom has all-glass balconies.

The balcony materials really are fine...it is what it is...and you have fresh air and a view! Those "plexi" glass things are always smudgy and dirty anyway...can't see thru them! Most folks do their "ocean gazing" standing at the rail.

Thanks for posting this! I can see my cabin for September 9 sailing so clearly here and I have been looking for exactly this!

Freedom is replacing Adventure next summer actually (2018).

 

And I agree, don't worry about picking a ship based on whether the balcony is all glass or half glass. The glass is always dirty from the salt water anyway. And it's not like you won't be able to see the ocean.

You don't happen to have any pics of the rear of the ship do you? We are going on this in October and have a balcony at the very rear on the side and I have seen where it looks like it may be partially obstructed. Thank you!
