..........or if you have a crazy mum that needs to ''travel'' once a year Thanks for all the info J&SofAZ!
curv i went on royal carribean 2 years ago grandeur of the sea it was ok but cruises arent for me, ure confined to the boat and yes there is the pool but its tiny only thing i did was lay out, granted i went with my family, we stopped in cozumel grand cayman and costa maya mexico which sucked, beach was horrible and there was no civilization in its infancy as a port, also docking there the captain smaked into the pier tearing a huge hole in the side 8 ft high 45 ft wide 5 ft above the water line and engineers and workers from belguim had to be flown in to fix it, we didnt chance it we flew back to new orleans where we took off from and they put us up for free and gave us all kinds of credits
AOS currvy- Darrel and I and another guy we sort of knew went on the Adventure of the Seas in June, 2004- when the ship was still fairly new. Loved the boat- ice rink is small (as previously mentioned) and there are only limited times they will open the rink. Rock wall was fantastic (especially after some cocktails)- and the island tours were interesting. Got to sit in at the piano (in one of the lounges where they do trivia) for about 1 hour, which was cool- had people laughing and singing. Food is pretty good, but as most people know, you are not on a cruise solely for the food. Overall, I would definitely recommend this boat. Oh- if you happen to be leaving out of San Juan, go into Old SJ to a bar called Maria's. Darrel and I have our photo on the wall, right above Brooke Shield's photo- and the best part of the story is that we missed the cruise ship when it left port, because of that damn photo.
Went in Feb this year... Have fun! lol lol lol ahahahahahahahaaa! P.S. be nice in your trip report...
