Just returned from crusing on the Adventure if anyone has any questions I'd be happy to try and answer them.

hi, i would like to ask the ff questions please

1) how is the BACHA coffee? as compared to Starbucks / Seattle's Best.... and is the FREE COFFEE also BACHA? is it any good? I know BACHA is expensive, but im looking for strong coffee... so i'm wondering if the free coffee is strong or mid

2) Can guests sneak into the Concierge Lounge? I saw on one video that from Level 16, all you have to do is climb some stairs and you're inside the lounge. There are no doors that require Card access, am i right? And since Lounge is open 24 hours, then anyone can just sneak it at 2 am to grab free drinks? NOT SAYING I'M PLANNING TO DO THIS, i am just wondering about their security features

3) If you're going for a swim, say going to the Infinity pool, is there a changing room near the pool? Or do you just wear your swim clothes under the Bathrobe and walk from your room to the pool?

4) Are there plentiful public toilets?

5) Can you go a Bar or Resto and just sit down for a while without ordering anything? Will they at least serve water?

6) Did you ride the Pym Quantum cars? if yes, how did you find it? Pls rate it 0 to 10

Thanks very much

Additional questions please

How does the UNLIMITED PHOTO PACKAGE work? Does it include going to the STUDIO for family pictures?
I understand they have random Character meet & greets at the Concierge Lounge? Are photographers present in the lounge too?

Thank you

So in my opinion rating is Starbucks than Bachas than Seattles Best than far below is Joffery's and far far far below is Nescafe. Not super strong but good, balanced flavor. Best cruise coffee in Disney’s fleet by a mile
Bacha's pour over coffee is included in all rooms with a kettle to make it yourself. The on deck drink station included coffee is not labeled, but tasted like it was also Bacha's. Bacha's also has a paid store/cafe onboard where you can get more varieties.

3) If you're going for a swim, say going to the Infinity pool, is there a changing room near the pool? Or do you just wear your swim clothes under the Bathrobe and walk from your room to the pool?

I did not see any changing rooms near the infinity pool, or notice any others around the ship There were regular bathrooms that you could change in if you wanted. Guests were just walking around in swimsuits including in stateroom decks back and forth to the pools. Bathrobe would be an option if you want a cover up, but not the norm from what I saw.

4) Are there plentiful public toilets?

There are plenty of toilets, but they are not always in the most obvious places, and they are not in the same places on each deck/area. There are 3 types of public toilets. A private room type, a door that says for all and opens into private single stalls with sinks outside, and traditional mens/women's. In my experience what type you get varied and it was easiest to just use the first one you stumbled on near the area you were in.

5) Can you go a Bar or Resto and just sit down for a while without ordering anything? Will they at least serve water?

The quick service sit down restaurants(O'hana, Gramma's etc) are very crowded and while they may not kick you out there are signs asking you not to linger so other people can get in and eat. It's also not a very fun place to dawdle. The bars are mainly in open areas where there is additional seating so you could easily sit nearby without ordering. I didn't ever try to go into a bar and not order and sit around so I can't answer what they would do.

6) Did you ride the Pym Quantum cars? if yes, how did you find it? Pls rate it 0 to 10

Yes I rode both the Pym Cars and the Galaxy Spin. Pym cars is a fun little go around. It's not fast, tiny and shouldn't be as fun as it was. Probably a solid 4. Roller Coaster is not operational so no rides on that.

Thanks very much

I didn't use the unlimited photo package so I can't comment. I only saw an assistant with the charters in the Concierge Lounge and did not see any photographers in that area. Plenty of photographers posted around the ship. Most people just took selfies so they were often not taking pictures (unless they were with a character)

The ship and its operations are brand new, and operations changed often. What I experienced may not be valid in 3 months or even 2 weeks. But it's how it worked when I cruised.
