MellowMel Posted February 15, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I think Advenure is a great ship with a friendly crew. I sailed her twice in 10 months, the most recent last month. * I like this class of ship because of the promenade but it's not overly huge like Oasis class. * I enjoy the solarium cushy chairs and to be away from the louder music by the main pool. * I though the mixology class was super fun and worth the $26.99 fee. We got 5 small drinks plus if you volunteered to read, you got a tequila shot and if you volunteered to make the drink you got the large drink. So fun! * I think Viking Crown Lounge has great views for sailaway. * The production shows were good. * I love that purchasing lunch in Chops for embarkation day is an option. It provides a less chaotic start than in the Windjammer for lunch. People complain tha tthe beds are hard but my bed had a mattress topper on it so no complaints from me. I have no complaints or any other things to beware of. I would definitely sail Adventure again. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Denversail Posted February 15, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I’ve been on this ship 4 times and loved it each time. It might have been the itineraries that drew me in but the love has always been there. I love Oasis class but the voyager class is a close second. The last I sailed her was 2018. Nice casino. Ben & Jerry suite if I’m remembering right. Hopefully they haven’t amped this ship. I went on the navigator shortly after it was amped. It was fine but I like the old school “unamped” voyager class. Have a wonderful cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btank Posted February 16, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 16, 2023 We sailed on her in December, and enjoyed it!

baldilocks Posted February 16, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 16, 2023 The Voyager and Freedom class ships are our favorites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizamcbride Posted March 14, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I've been on Adventure a couple times and I have really enjoyed my time on it! It is one of the older ships but it didn't detract from my experience at all. Great for families or adults. I really like the promenade as well. Plus, if your cruise is before May, you'll get Tornado Tanya as CD and Grace as AM which is super fun! I enjoyed them a lot and the 70s disco was super fun with them.

GeorgiaGuys Posted March 31, 2023 #9 Share Posted March 31, 2023 On the deck plans for Adventure it looks like cabins were added to part of the gym space. Does the Adventure still have locker rooms with showers/steam room/sauna? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mets123 Posted March 31, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I think the casino is very cramped and difficult to maneuver. Also it is very smoke filled, even in the non smoking areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the Adventure still have locker rooms with showers/steam room/sauna? For now, yes, but stay tuned. If Royal goes back to doing the full "amplification" like they did to Freedom, Voyager, and Navigator, they would be removing the nice fitness center and replacing it with yet more cabins, and putting a smaller fitness center elsewhere with no locker rooms.

I'll be on Voyager and I don't see it as an activity, so maybe I'm SOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon.hed Posted April 3, 2023 #14 Share Posted April 3, 2023 we are booked on Adventure for an 8 night Aug 2024. That will be our first time. We have been on Mariner multiple times and love that class of ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it’s a smooth transition for crew. happy to see some recent TR here. Working on dining res for MTD. Seems like ages since we’ve last sailed. Trying to remember times for ice skating show, promenade evening activity & comedy or other shows usually commence. Not having the printed dailies will be a big change, assume I’ll get used to the app. Sailed her once out of SJU, think it’s the perfect ship for a port intensive itinerary. Found it very relaxing and easy to navigate. Not as many distractions/FOMO as I find on the Oasis & larger ships for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have been called a Cocktail Seminar. They offered two during the trip on both sea days. It was so fun. I was on Allure in March and they did not offer it.

Rare Kellie in Texas Posted April 19, 2023 #17 Share Posted April 19, 2023 We sailed on Adventure this past January in two balcony cabins on 8. This was our third time on this class of ship and it was fine. The main thing I noticed -- and not exactly sure how to explain it -- is the balcony view, instead of being totally open, had sort of a rounded "frame" that was part of the ship, so that the balcony view was sort of oval-shaped instead of a larger rectangular-shaped. When you were out there, you sort of felt like you were in a cave. As far as the ship itself, it was fine; enjoyed all the food, shows, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfguyxxx Posted April 19, 2023 #19 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Exciting read; thanks. I'll be on Adventure for a TA in 2024 and it's made me that much more excited. 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navigator and Mariner being the last two built, presumably these are the more open ones. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
