djyellowsub Posted September 24, 2019 #27 Share Posted September 24, 2019 We were on the Adventure in August 2018 and had a great time. Some folks think she is just the right size- not too big or small. We ate at both of the specialty restaurants (Chops and Giovanni's) and thought they were great with excellent food and service. I would sail on her again. She is well loved and taken care of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ate you looking at the 6 night Adventure or the 8 night? 6 night. In January. Thoughts on that? The price is definitely right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price is definitely right! micmacmissy, I am currently on the Adventure on the second half of a B2B, Cape Liberty to Quebec and back again. I am booked for the six night Caribbean cruise out of Fort Lauderdale in March, and I am strongly looking forward to it. It's a nice little itinerary, but I'm staying on for the following 8 night, too, because that is a FANTASTIC itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until i'm retired, no B2Bs for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been disappointed with any of those cruises. My only complaint is the entertainment. The shows have not been changed out in years, maybe not even since the ship went into service. But I know to expect that when I book the ship. I think you and I have discussed this before...having lived in NYC, we pretty much avoid all cruise ship "entertainment". 😉 (We avoid the pizza, too!)

The pizza has improved. Some of the fly-in entertainment is good. The ice show is wonderful. The cast of the production shows can make a difference in how you perceive the quality of the shows. I have been enjoying them, even though I have seen them before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we booked all the way in August of last year the 2 VPS were gone ( so you got one:)). We are in one of the new JS so I am sure it will be ok too. My friend is doing the 8 day after us and I am jealous b/c I love the Southern ABC...I wish we could get more time off work so we could of done a B2B with her.

Costa Maya, Cozumel and Grand Cayman are lovely ports of call. Agree. We're on the 8 night in October, then 8/6 night B2B in February (all on Adventure). We prefer the eastern ports, but there's nothing wrong with western. We did a private jeep tour in Cozumel last winter that is probably in our top 5 cruise port days. Our guide was amazing and he showed us a GREAT time that day. Edited September 25, 2019 by bouhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they reverted back to the old pizza in order to decrease demand, shorten lines, and to inhance our cruise experience. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely understand the pizza comment. It's the same reason I hardly ever order BBQ ribs anywhere. They hardly ever live up to what I can do myself. It's a passion of mine, and has been one of my favorite meals since childhood. 8 hours ago, RCCL Fan said: And don't forget Labadee you avoid Labadee.... 😉 We're booked on Adventure. We've been doing old a small ships lately after years of big ones. My wife adores the small ships, I like big. We think Adventure is going to be the happy medium. Love, Love, Love the 8 and 9 night ABC itineraries, but I think skipping Labadee is a negative. (Love chilling at Columbus Cove). The ABC itineraries out of Florida are at the VERY TIPPY TOP of our desired cruises. (Especially if they are on a Freedom or Voyager Class ship). Our 9 night ABC cruise this past March on the newly AMPED Navigator will be hard to ever top. It was just simply amazing. I'm super bummer that our spring break schedule this upcoming March doesn't line up with a week that the Adventure is doing an 8 night ABC. We're "stuck" doing the Liberty out of Galveston to Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and Jamaica. Still a decent combo and we we really like the Liberty when we sailed her early 2018.
