Has anyone been on the Adventure of the Seas?

Hi.. When was this on the TC?

I am going on Adventure of the Seas in October for my wedding/honeymoon. I too would like any first hand idea of the ship.

The only cruise ship I have been on is Holland America's Zuiderdam within 6 months of it's first sail so I am probally a bit spoiled with a brand new ship!

i was on the Adventure 2 years ago, and we're sailing on the Adventure again this July. It is an amazing ship- the show on the Travel channel was great, but didn't do the ship justice-it is really a beautiful ship, and believe it or not, even with 3300 passengers on board you never feel crowded. If you decide to sail, I would suggest the Aruba, Curacao, St. Martin , st. Thomas itinerary, and strongly recommend flying down a day early, and if possible staying an extra day post -cruise in San Juan. Any other questions feel free to ask- Puerto Rico is one of my favorite places to sail from, and the AOS is one of my favorite ships

We're also considering the AOS this summer... I'll have to watch for the Travel Channel show.

And DMickey28- we also sailed on the Zuiderdam last June, at her 6 month mark! She was a beautiful ship, and we got a GREAT deal. So great we were able to feel good about springing for a suite.

Sure would like to stumble on a deal like that again this summer!

Tell us about the Zuiderdam as well. I was interested in this ship as well. Did anyone have a balcony? Any upgrades from lower levels into balcony cabins to be had?

Well, since you asked...

Here are photos from our Zuiderdam cruise.

We had a suite (Category S), with a balcony. There are photos of our room and the balcony, as well as a few photos from other areas of the ship.

We really enjoyed the Zuiderdam. DH would like to cruise on her again, and he's surfing the net for deals right now. The dining was wonderful, the entertainment quite good, and I think their private island is second only to Castaway Cay.
