The RCL website is now listing the AOS as having a flowrider, says NEW next to it? Is this true or will it be true for a July sailing? Also does anyone know if there is a pool table in the pub or anywhere on the ship?

 

Thanks!

There is no Flowrider out there as of this morning. There is a rock wall, basketball, golf simulator, inline skating track, mini golf, shuffleboard, walking track, and a well appointed gym.

Ni pool table. Flowrider will like be added during dry dock in Fall 2016.

I guess they figured that they would update the website and eventually the ship would catch up with the changes.

Familygoboston - I remember your posts from when I was planning our 1st and 2nd cruises on the Jewel in 2013 and 2014. Your posts helped me so much. How great to see you post on yet another ship we will be on - although not until 2016.

Tino Lopez was the Activity Manager until very recently, when he went on vacation and is due to return to Adventure of the Seas on 7/11/15. Can someone tell me who is the Activity Manager onboard at present?

Hi- It's been 6 years since I've been on Adventure. Back then I enjoyed collecting sea shells at each island. This trip my kids are coming with us and enjoy shell collecting too. I've heard that some people have gotten their shells taken away? can anyone please comment on whether that is the case? Thank you so much.

We were on Adventure last week, my husband collected some sea shells in Antigua and put them in my each bag. They were taken at security when we re boarded the ship. Also, when we were in St. Lucia, the tour guide advised not to buy conch shells from local vendors because it is illegal to take them out of the country. Enjoy your cruise.

There is a possibility they might not be noticed while going through security. However, with that being said...yes, we have had friends on recent sailings on AD that did have the shells taken from them while going through security while reboarding the ship. (We have had some friends get them through but had some friends have them taken away.)

[tuliplvr]

wow thank you for the replies! Any idea why they are doing this? I have some beautiful shells from my last trip and wonderful memories...

[Folk Singer]

Thank you for all the links and great Photos. We really like the AOS fine ship.

Quick question...

We'll be on Adventure for the July 11th sailing (San Juan, St. Maarten, St. Kitts, Antigua, St. Lucia, Barbados, cruise day). For those of you who have recently been on this cruise, when are the two formal nights?

Thanks for this information.

We were on Jewel of the Seas sailing from San Juan. My son picked up some sea glass on St. Croix. It was confiscated when we re-boarded the ship. Any organic matter is contraband - shells, sand, plants (or things made from plants like freshly woven hats), even sea glass - not allowed to be taken off an island or between islands.

Hi, We were on this itinerary 5/9 - 5/16. Formal nights were Sunday (St. Martin) and Thursday (Barbados). The second formal night was when lobster tail and prime rib were offered.

 

Have a great cruise!

Hi Adventure fans!

We haven't been on her since the revitilization last year and I have two questions. BTW, I'm very frustrated with RCCL because they told me the deck plans on their site are not fully updated :confused:

First, Where is Izumi located?

Then, is Jester's still there?

Thank you!

Jester's is still on Adventure. No Izumi yet. This will change during dry dock in 2016.

Thank you, thank you!

 

Now I'm frustrated with RCCL because they could not tell me when dry dock is :confused: Any idea?

I was told the top half of Jesters will be changed into a speciality restaurant. This was by one of the cooks that came to our table. I cant remember what one

Adventure is closest in design to Voyager and Explorer, and on those ships they have put Giovanni's Table in that space.

The current (and possibly incorrect) RCCL website deck plan for Adventure shows Giovanni's on 11 outside Windjammer. It is the only specialty there (Mariner and Navigator have Chops on the port side).

 

The description of Adventure on the RCCL website also says that Izumi is "new" but it is nowhere to be found on the deck plans :(

 

So, I'm thinking that maybe they'll put Izumi where Jester's is... Or, maybe they'll add a Chops?? (hoping!)

Ate at Giovanni's on our cruise on Adventure, it was on the starboard side of the windjammer.
