Adventure of the Seas: Poolside questions

[rbpierce]

Hey all, a couple quick questions. I am a long-time Disney cruiser, looking to try RC for the first time. A big attraction for me is the pool deck, so if someone has time I'd love to get some feedback on it.

 

One of the things I really enjoy about the Disney pool decks are the running movies, so when I am sunning and tired of reading I can watch a movie and veg. I see that AotS has a poolside screen as well- can someone tell me how often it shows movies, what kind, is the audio audible, etc?

 

Also, is there enough poolside seating or will I have to stalk a seat for an hour waiting for someone to get up?

 

Finally just curious what the overall pooldeck vibe is? Crazy drunks? Kids running around? Clean? Cluttered? etc.

 

Thanks!

They do show movies on the pool big screen, but our experience has been that while we do see an occasional movie being shown in the afternoon, most movies are shown in the evening.

 

No problem getting seating around the pool for evening movies, however if it's a sunny sea day, you will have to get to the pool deck early to get a lounger.

What the "vibe" is depends on the passengers. Shorter cruises have more "partiers" than longer trips. On sea days, the pool is packed....from 8am until about 3-4 in the afternoon....loungers around the immediate pool area are are-to-arm....very tight. Go up a deck and you'll have more space.

Bob is right about the movies. They tend to show them mainly in the afternoon and night. We were on a few weeks ago and during the day, there was a constant feed of funny and cool videos being shown but no sound. It was entertaining to watch.

 

There weren't really that many crazy drunks around the pool that I remember. There aren't too many kids on the cruises we take on Adventure because usually it's in January right after they all go back to school. There are always seats available unless like Bob said, it is a sunny sea day. The chairs are a premium!

 

Here is a cool pic that my husband took one night as we were leaving port. The movie screen is on the side that you can't see.

Thanks guys (and great pic :) ). When they do show videos, is the audio for the video audible on deck? And what kind of videos are shown?

On Jewel recently during the day there was often a strange mix of motocross, skate boarding etc with no sound. Most of the time it was odd stuff....

For us. the audio was turned down (but still audible) when they are showing the non-movie videos. Turned way up for movies.

For movies, yes the audio is on. For the 2 weeks we were on, the videos didn't have sound. The videos of cute pets, people doing crazy stunts, and things like that. It was amusing.

How does everyone rate the pool service? Is it hard to flag a waiter down for a drink?

You can usually get a pool waiter with no issue. The movie they played during the evening was Grease and they played it during the day twice too. Mostly it was cool video's or "fail" videos. No sound during the day with the videos but the movie did have sound during the day when played and it came over the pool speakers.
