Hawaii697 Posted March 13, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I booked my first Royal cruise today. We wanted to book the Allure, but the price was too steep for my pocketbook. Booked, the Adventure of the Seas sailng out of SJU. This is my daughter's high school graduation party!! Family and friends from Boston, NY and DC will be sailing with us. Itinerary is awesome. Can't wait to sail. Any advice regarding which balcony cabin or promande cabin to choose would be appreciated. Also does this ship have the infamous roast beef sandwich? How are the shows and finally, do they play "Quest". Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it was every day, and when I had it, they were serving pork. Not exactly like the roast beef sandwich at the Park Cafe on other ships, but not bad. Yes, they do the Quest on Adventure.

sailor05 Posted March 13, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 13, 2015 St. Thomas, St. Kitts, Caraco and Aruba! We did a very similar itinerary in 2008 on AOS for my sons graduation. We did a couple of extra days pre and post cruise in San Juan to make it extra special. There's a lot to do in PR like Segway tours and horseback riding etc. It's definitely our favorite cruise we've ever taken. We tried this year to do the AOS but it was booked up the week we're going. Have fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, we've sailed on her twice, fantastic ship and always lots to do, We've stayed in a PR room both times, deck 7 midship is great as you don't get the noise if you are above a bar and it's great for people watching and seeing the parades. In St Thomas it's really easy to just get off the ship and get a taxi to a beach or depending which dock you stop at they will have shuttles into the town. St Kitt's was a smaller port from what I remember, I don't think there was too much of interest outside the port area so it might be better to take a tour unless you want to stay on board and enjoy a quieter ship.

Philly Steve Posted March 13, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Congrats! I have a feeling there will be more RCI cruises in your future. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaii697 Posted March 13, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Thanks all . . . Philly Steve, your right. I'm going to sail on an Oasis class ship, eventually!! :D One last question, does anyone know if they have an all white party at the club one night. I'm the group coordinator so, I want to give some feedback to the group. Glad to hear they have the Quest game. I played it on the Disney cruise. It was absolutely hilarious!!

bouhunter Posted March 13, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) You will love Adventure and San Juan. Ports are awesome. Go into San Juan a day or two early if you can. Personally we feel Quest is a Joke and not worth the time, but go for it if you want. If you like dancing around as a guy in a bra, or watching that, go for it........maybe booze will make it worth watching. There are obvously many people who like watching guys dance in bras and it makes quest very popular. Oh wait, maybe the booze makes that happen. But wait, even with lots of booze I don't get excited about watching guys dance around in bra's............. I guess I need a LOT MORE BOOZE in order to be entertained by watching drunk idiot men dance around in bra's.........
