bigque Posted November 7, 2015 Author #101 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I read that the trikes are shift. The driver in our group has only done automatic, do you think he could do the trike? Yes it is a straight 5 speed shift with a stick just like in a car. You have a clutch on the floor on the left side and a break on the floor on the right side and the gas is on the right side handle bar. If you don't know how to drive a stick in a car you will not be able to drive these. We were told that they were suppose to get automatics in a month after we did them, so when you go there they may have automatics! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigque Posted November 8, 2015 Author #103 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Day 6 - Curacao: On this day we actually did not plan anything as far as excursions are concerned. We just planned to go off the ship and walk around n the town, look in the shops and then head back to the ship and spend the day on board. After an exciting week of excursion we just wanted to spend a day chilling and relaxing and that is exactly what we did. Nontheless here are some pictures of our short walk around the town. We had to take a ferry over to the downtown area. This is a view from the ferry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigque Posted November 8, 2015 Author #105 Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) In the evening was the 2nd formal night which we once again dressed for but no formal night pictures as we only do that the first night. I did have the Fisherman's platter as I always do on this night and I also had our waiter bring me the Prime Rib after the fisherman's platter. The lobster tail is what it is and I'm not one to compare it with Maine Lobster of cold water lobster or whatever. I eat it I like so I don't really have any complaints about it. Is it as good as the lobster tail I had the night before in Aruba......No but I still liked it and enjoyed it.

descotes Posted November 9, 2015 #108 Share Posted November 9, 2015 We are going on Adventure in June. You mentioned that this class was a "mini-me" version of Freedom class. We were on Freedom last year. Does this class have the self service ice-cream by the pool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigque Posted November 12, 2015 Author #111 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Sorry I had to take a break from the review for a few days, so let's finish this up! Day 7 - Sea Day On the last sea day we it was pretty much a lounge around the ship day. We didn’t really do much of anything. We did eat lunch at Johnny Rockets which I believe have very good burgers, onion rings, fries and shakes. The price is $6.95 and it is worth it to us. We eat lunch there once a cruise just for something different as we like good burgers. The rest of day we spent time on the Royal Promenade and purchased a few souvenirs from the logo store and took a few more pictures around the ship. In the evening we went to the Michael Jackson Name that Tune and then watched The Island Frenzy Parade on the Royal Promenade. The parade was at 10:15 PM which was good because on our Freedom Cruise we did not see the parade because they had it during the early dinner time which was the time we were eating. After the parade we went back to the cabin to do the part we always hate on the cruise and that is packing up to go home! Here are some more random pictures around the ship that I forgot to post on some of the other days of the review and the parade, etc. Everyone seem to have a good time at Dancing Under The Stars. You got to put all you line dancing practice from all week to use as the DJ played just about every line dance song old & new.

bigque Posted November 12, 2015 Author #114 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) At The Michael Jackson Name that Tune with Patrick, Zena & two young ladies (Cousins) we met from London England on a birthday Cruise The Parade People are always asking about the size of the safe and the size of the refrigerator...So here you go. The frig does not get real cold. We did not have anything removed from the frig as we didn't have anything to put n there.

bigque Posted November 12, 2015 Author #116 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Debarkation: For debarkation we elected to do the self-debarkation for the 2nd time and I believe this the way we will do it for now on. The night before your room steward will leave tags in your room to put on your bags if you are going to leave them out in the hall for pickup. He will leave the instructions in your room also for self-debarkation. The morning of we went and had a lite breakfast in the Windjammer and then went back up to make it down to the 3rd deck conference rooms where we had to wait. Keep in mind if you do self-debarkation that you go down to the third deck and then you will have to walk back up the stairs to the 4th deck to depart so if you have a few bags and heavy ones be prepared to walkup a deck with them. In the room we were waiting in there were maybe 50 – 75 people waiting. At 7:00 AM Sharp they let us depart and the process was simple. From start to finish was 15 minutes. We were staying another day in San Juan at the Condado Plaza Hilton once again, so from ship departure at 7:00 to the hotel by taxi took all of 30 minutes….We were standing in the hotel lobby at 7:30…Not bad at all! Self - Debarkation – A+ Last Thoughts: After reading some other reviews and comments about Adventure of the Seas you would think this ship would be a dump but that is so far from the truth. Adventure was a pretty nice ship. As I started out saying at the beginning of this review, I don’t go around looking for what’s worn here or what is worn there or oooh there is some visible rush over there, etc. I think that you have to really be looking for stuff otherwise it does not just jump out at you. The crew was friendly and we never experienced and rude crew members. I like the Voyager class and would sail on Adventure again. I would love to see what she looks like after the dry dock next year. Also booked our next cruise while on this cruise which was also a first for me. Couldn't pass up the $100 instant on board credit and balcony discount for turning platinum on this cruise. We did start receiving some platinum perks while on this cruise Adventure Of The Seas Aruba Route Cruise – B+ I am still open to any questions anyone may have!

MiniChunks Posted November 13, 2015 #117 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Great review Mike. I think you hit the nail on the head regarding the ship and crew. The Adventure is in great shape, and we were treated as well as I would ever expect to be on a cruise. I would sail her again tomorrow if I could.

We just booked our first cruise (Adventure) and can't wait for August to get here. Not a bad choice for a first cruise. Great Ship and lots of good ports no matter which itinerary you are going on. Try to do a day or two in San Juan before the cruise to get the week started off right! Going there early is like having another port! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
