bertram15146 Posted May 16, 2016 #26 Share Posted May 16, 2016 We did the following, St Maarten (Bernard's Tours), St Kitts ( Shipwreck Beach), Antigua ((Stingray City), St Lucia (COSOL Tours), Barbados (shopping downtown). Happy cruising! Nice to see you on Cruise Critic, Terry! Glad that you guys made it home ok! We were on this cruise as well and had a fantastic time! St. Maarten and St. Lucia were probably my favorite stops probably due to the excursions that we did. Bernard's Tours was incredible (Mailman was the best guide) and the Helmet Dive that we did at Pigeon Island in St. Lucia was a blast! I thought that the ship was in great shape and would recommend dining at Giovanni's. The food was excellent! Go hungry though, it's a lot of food!

ROBINBIRDIE66 Posted May 16, 2016 Author #27 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Less than 2 weeks for us.. How long was you wait going through TSA security? Lots of disgruntled passengers recently in the continental U.S. David :D This was our first time through Puerto Rico. The line seemed long, but it moved. Honestly, the passengers were more the problem - people trying to put things through that they shouldn't, like liquids in excess of allowable, one guy had a money clip in his pocket (made of metal) that he didn't take out, etc. We probably waited for security a good 45 minutes and I have a feeling some people may have missed flights due to it.

cruisegal96 Posted May 18, 2016 #29 Share Posted May 18, 2016 So glad to hear all the good things about Adventure & that you had a great time! We board one month from today & can't wait to see the Southern Caribbean!!! Look forward to your review with the compasses & menus. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaii697 Posted May 18, 2016 #31 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Happy to hear all is well on the Adventure. Sailing her in 23 days and looking forward to sailing on the AOS and our first Royal cruise. Can't wait to read your review! Most interested in hearing about the All White Glow party (for the youngens in my group). Also, did you do a pre-cruise stay and if so, where did you stay. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena1 Posted May 18, 2016 #32 Share Posted May 18, 2016 We just got off Adventure yesterday. I'll be writing a detailed review soon, but wanted to let everyone know it was a great time. The ship is dated - yes, but it is clean, maintained, friendly staff, good food and great service! This was my 16th cruise, I'm in my late 40's and very active. I'm posting this because there are a LOT of negatives being said and I did NOT see anything bad on this trip. We have done Voyager class, Freedom, and Oasis so I'm certainly not a novice to cruising and have a lot to compare to. We are looking to book another trip on Adventure next year - after the drydock refurbs, but would not hesitate to book again sooner.If anyone has ANY questions - post on and I'll try to answer. I have all 7 days of compasses and took photos of each day menu - including desserts. Again, any questions just ask.... Robin We have sailed Adventure the last 2 Aprils and have loved it. What a wonderful ship and love those Southern Caribbean ports. Staff was great, ship was so well maintained. Had no complaints, all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBRADFORD79 Posted May 23, 2016 #38 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Looking forward to your review ... we leave on August 27 and can't wait. Did they have any of those designated "wear white", "Caribbean" nights etc. Thank you I just got off the adventure on Sunday and I recall: Sunday is formal Monday is casual Tuesday is Caribbean Wednesday is White Thursday is formal I hope that helps your planning. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edman610 Posted May 23, 2016 #39 Share Posted May 23, 2016 We were on same cruise. TSA at the airports was not bad - but we are pre-check. At the terminal security went pretty quickly both on and off. We had a delay because USCG held a surprise Zika virus inspection which held the crew up for 2 hours (passed with flying colors) and they got us all on pretty quickly afterwards.

Storm730 Posted May 26, 2016 #42 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I know this may seem like a crazy question, but we are trying to minimize what we are taking with us. Are there liquid soap dispensers in the showers? Taking a bottle of body soap just adds to the weight :-( so just need to know if I need to pack it or not. I can't remember from my last sailing.

Robin Hi Robin, We just finished sailing on the 7-Night Southern Caribbean on Adventure of the Seas, May 21-May 28, 2016. I'm glad you had a great time on yours. We did, too! I normally save all the Cruise Compasses but this time for some reason I did not. I don't know if our itineraries are the same but if you could post the cruise compasses and the daily menu, I would appreciate it so much. Our ports of call were St. Maarten, St. Kitt, Antigua, St. Lucia, and Barbados and San Juan. Thank you. Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
