mimi217 Posted July 24, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2022 So I'm looking at a cruise that I really want to go on. Unfortunately all the balconies are sold out. I decided maybe I'd book an outside cabin, but when I checked all that was available are cabins on deck 2. When I told my husband he thought that deck was way too low. Wondering if someone who's been on deck 2 can tell me what they thought of it. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done it on other ships but not Adventure. It just seems a long way to get anywhere but if it is all that was available and I really wanted the itinerary I wouldn’t let it stop me. That said, how far out is the cruise? It is possible cabins will become available. We recently did a Royal Up from Inside to balcony on Adventure. Alternatively, maybe consider a promenade cabin which is higher and central? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALWAYS CRUZIN Posted July 24, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 24, 2022 The lower the deck the less movement you get when the sea gets rough. Especially mid ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loucat Posted July 25, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I looked at the link below on the RCCL Adventure site. Only interior and oceanview cabins on this level. Would you be comfortable with 2 in a room with either no window or just a small porthole to look through? Look at the size of the rooms too, which could help make a decision. I have sailed Adventure and not impressed with recent reviews. Maybe check out of few of those so you know what others have said in their reviews. https://www.cruisedeckplans.com/DP/deckplans/deckbydeck.php?ship=Adventure-of-the-Seas&deck=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted July 25, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I've stayed in OV on deck 2 on Adventure. I liked it just fine. It is quiet as no one not staying on the deck has reason to be there. There is no problem getting an elevator as they are empty when they get down there. And at ports of call Adventure uses deck one for gangways so all you have to do is walk down one flight of stairs to get off and coming back you can bypass the crowd waiting for elevators and just walk up one flight of stairs and you are home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, things are not as they should be but that goes for a lot of the ships at the moment and different cruise lines. I have done 35+ nights on the Adventure this year and haven’t experienced half the problems that those on the recent 5/9day sailings have had since she moved to Bayonne. I do know a lot of crew were expecting to go on leave following the repositioning and ended up having to stay on. l think a lot depends on your attitude and expectations going in.

I've done several cruises on Adventure out of San Juan and Ft. Lauderdale. I've never had a bad one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
