ColoradoGurl Posted July 11, 2015 #1701 Share Posted July 11, 2015 So if you had to do one thing on the ship what would it be? As far as "on" the ship, I'm most looking forward to drink in a piña colada while watching the poolside movie and sitting in the hot tub at night. I'm pretty easy to please, and usually too tired by the time shows start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wreckem2013 Posted July 11, 2015 #1702 Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) I'll be on the Adventure tomorrow. Will report back about the Mexican at Giovanni's when I get back. I saw that it was offered when perusing some compasses and was intrigued. Take a photo of the menu please.

avn2525 Posted July 13, 2015 #1704 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Does anyone know if Adventure Ocean is open the first night for kids to go into or not? Was not sure since sail time is so late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I read that they only have signups the first night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zapman Posted July 14, 2015 #1709 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Does anyone know what the plans are for the next refurb in 2016,, Bob {clarea) do you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 14, 2015 #1710 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Does anyone know what the plans are for the next refurb in 2016,, Bob {clarea) do you know? Royal has not published any info on what's in store for Adventure. My guess would be that they would do what they have done to Voyager and Explorer: More staterooms on deck 12, nightclub lower deck becomes staterooms, upper deck becomes a specialty restaurant, Izumi goes into the game/card rooms in Viking Crown.

The question is, does one of the last remaining ships without Chops get a Chops or does it get Sabor? Or will they do something they didn't do with Explorer and Voyager and give it both?

I have not had the opportunity to visit Sabor yet however Mr Ski sailed Navigator and said Sabor was his favorite restaurant in the fleet. We would much prefer Chops and Sabor and leave Izumi off. We have never visited Izumi on any ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would much prefer Chops and Sabor and leave Izumi off. We have never visited Izumi on any ship. We tried Sabor in May '14 on Navigator. The tableside Margaritas and guacamole were very good and the Queso Fundido was excellent. Maybe it's because we're from Texas that in general we weren't overly impressed and felt that even a $25 surcharge was too high. Others must feel this way also because in Oct '14 and May '15 there were constant Promenade promotions trying to fill the restaurant. We have tried Izumi on both Navigator and Legend. It was quite good if you like that sort of thing... I'd much prefer Chops and Giovanni's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cricketts Posted July 15, 2015 #1717 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Maybe that's why they have gone to the taqueria / a la carte concept on Oasis class. An a la carte format would probably work much better. The Sabor food was fine, but there's a cognitive dissonance about trying to make a Mexican restaurant upscale. A nice "watering hole" with great side dishes and snacks sounds like a good approach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvmypups Posted July 15, 2015 #1718 Share Posted July 15, 2015 We were on Navigator in May and we loved it. We are also from the south and have access to plenty of Mexican cuisine as well as some exceptional steakhouses. Although we enjoy Chops and will continue to dine there, we can get better steaks at home. Our preference was Sabor over Chops and there was always a good crowd in there the 2 nights we dined there. Just shows that everyone's tastes are different! I hope they get all of the specialty restaurants on Adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailorsbewe Posted July 22, 2015 #1719 Share Posted July 22, 2015 It's early but have just booked for January 2017 ... will be 2nd time on AOS, and looking forward to seeing the ship after Dry Dock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyAshley Posted July 22, 2015 #1720 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I have 2 drink option questions for Adventure: * is there an option for a vanilla latte with milk alternative (soy, almond, coconut, etc.)? * is there vanilla coke available anywhere?

Clarea Posted July 22, 2015 #1721 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) ...* is there vanilla coke available anywhere? Since there are no Freestyle machines on AD, then vanilla coke would not be available as part of any drink package. However, it's possible that you could find it in a can, available for individual purchase. Edited July 22, 2015 by clarea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cricketts Posted July 22, 2015 #1723 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Is there a Diamond Lounge on Adventure? I can't find it on the deck plans. If it doesn't have a DL, do they do a Diamond event, or do they just put the three free drinks on your card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
