Are the menus themed to each restaurant or do they rotate? Or is it like the regular menu in all three dining rooms?

Hey all,

Quick Review:

 

Six of us left out of NYC on JetBlue from JFK without any delays the same day as the cruise. We landed, grabbed a cab and went straight to the ship which just came from a transatlantic RP cruise. The two cruises before ours had Noro outbreaks which meant AoS needed a deep cleaning. The Coast Guard also had to do its inspection, being that it just made its way stateside. This usually means all restaurants and bars are to be closed until they get a clean bill of health. We expected to wait on long lines and luckily enough, we were on the ship within 25 minutes drinking our first tropical drinks at the Schooner Bar.

 

Also, our luggage was at the room within a matter of two hours or so. Of all the cruises I have ever been on, (not many - 8 including this one) this was the absolute quickest I have ever gotten my luggage.

 

My girlfriend and I stayed on the ship while the four others got off and walked around San Juan. We went for lunch in the Windjammer, which I was a little underwhelmed with due to the fact that it was overcrowded because not many people knew Cafe Promenade was also open for lunch. The Windjammer was packed and the crew did their best in trying to keep everything as neat as possible.

 

They came back and we all went to dinner at Giovanni's Table. We decided on ordering LOTS of food (see pictures above). It was all delicious. Went for drinks afterwards in the VCL, and since I've been on Adventure twice before - almost ten years ago - gave everyone a quick tour of the ship.

 

The weather was great the first day, mid-80s and no rain. Day one was hectic and we all fell asleep by midnight in our hump balconies (felt like throin' that in there :D).

 

More to come!

Have to re-upload the pics again. There's a six picture limit apparently....

Quick Review:

Six of us left out of NYC on JetBlue from JFK without any delays the same day as the cruise. We landed, grabbed a cab and went straight to the ship which just came from a transatlantic RP cruise. The two cruises before ours had Noro outbreaks which meant AoS needed a deep cleaning. The Coast Guard also had to do its inspection, being that it just made its way stateside. This usually means all restaurants and bars are to be closed until they get a clean bill of health. We expected to wait on long lines and luckily enough, we were on the ship within 25 minutes drinking our first tropical drinks at the Schooner Bar.

Also, our luggage was at the room within a matter of two hours or so. Of all the cruises I have ever been on, (not many - 8 including this one) this was the absolute quickest I have ever gotten my luggage.

My girlfriend and I stayed on the ship while the four others got off and walked around San Juan. We went for lunch in the Windjammer, which I was a little underwhelmed with due to the fact that it was overcrowded because not many people knew Cafe Promenade was also open for lunch. The Windjammer was packed and the crew did their best in trying to keep everything as neat as possible.

They came back and we all went to dinner at Giovanni's Table. We decided on ordering LOTS of food (see pictures above). It was all delicious. Went for drinks afterwards in the VCL, and since I've been on Adventure twice before - almost ten years ago - gave everyone a quick tour of the ship.

The weather was great the first day, mid-80s and no rain. Day one was hectic and we all fell asleep by midnight in our hump balconies (felt like throin' that in there :D).

More to come!

Hey all,

I apologize I never pulled through with the review with pics! I hope I can get the pics up here soon with a quick review.

Sorry guys! Soon I promise! :)

We just got off the Adventure on Sunday and were in 8320 as well! Looking forward to your review!

Did you have any issues with the hot water in the bathroom? (I'll mention what happened with that a little later in the review)

In order to post large photos embedded in the post, like this:

you need to upload them to an image hosting site like Flickr or Photobucket, then copy and paste the url into your post. I use Flickr

Awesome! Now I have to get to work.........

BTW, does anyone know how to post bigger pictures?

 

With a bigger camera :D

Haha needed that early morning laugh!

Looking forward to this!

 

Nice to see a review on something other than all the usual ships .. gets a little boring reading review after review on Oasis, Allure, Freedom and Enchantment.

Thanks for all of the replies and for everyone's excitement! lol

Looking forward to your review.

What ports did you visit??

Thank you! St. Maarten, St. Croix, Barbados, St. Lucia, and St. John's. All out of San Juan. :)

BTW, does anyone know how to post bigger pictures?

Pics didn't post, trying again.

Hey all,

Slowly but surely I'm beginning to upload my picture heavy review (I think there's more food pictures than anything :)) of my sailing on the Adventure from 11/16/2014 to 11/23/2014.

First up, Day 1, 11/16: pictures of stateroom 8320, Deluxe Balcony on the hump. And some shots of San Juan from the balcony and a look towards the front of the ship with the Carnival Valor off in the distance.

Six of us flew from JFK to San Juan on the same day as embarkation and despite lots of people saying the flight would be delayed, it was actually early by 20 minutes or so.

We took a cab to the Pan American Pier where we checked in. It was a little hectic, but we were literally sitting in the Schooner Bar in about 15 minutes.

Got to the room and our luggage was there within an hour! Other than that, the room was very clean and nothing was broken, fabrics were fresh and even the carpet looked like new even though it wasn't.

Sorry I couldn't rotate the pictures, still trying to figure that one out :confused:.

I'll post more soon.

Both were on Adventure the week of 11/16.

Thanks for this great thread on the Adventure. We are sailing on Adventure for the first time on Dec 14th. We have done Allure and Oasis the past several sailings but wanted some new ports to visit. Really looking forward to the Southern Caribbean itinerary.

 

We were fortunate to get a good deal on a Royal Family Suite for the 3 of us (our 18 year old son on college break going with us). Will be nice to have room to spread out and relax. We don't bring clothes for formal night but should be able to order from the MDR menu and enjoy dinner in our suite on those nights. We also will do a night or two at Giovanni's Table (was our favorite meal on Allure this month).

 

I was looking for some help on port info. Specifically which ports we can easily walk around town for shopping and/or walk to a beach nearby if not doing an excursion. Below is what we have planned and we are otherwise just looking for a relaxing beach nearby.

 

The stops we have are at:

 

Bridgetown, Barbados

- Plan on doing the Barbados Beach Break if not a close beach to do on our own.

 

Castries, St. Lucia

- Thinking about the Coastal Cruise to the Pitons excursion.

 

St. John's,, Antigua

- looking for a beach

 

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

- going to Maho Beach on our own to see the planes land

 

St. Croix, US Virgin Islands

- Plan on doing the Coastal Bike Tour (if anyone has done this, was it good?)

 

If you can let me know which ports have easy access to town (without taking a taxi) that would be great. And if you know of any nice beaches close to the port to do on our own, that is also appreciated.

 

Thanks for you help.

Actually, I just got back from the Adventure on Sunday, I'm thinking about putting up a blog here with TONS of pictures. We did this exact itinerary. Probably putting it up sometime this week. Keep an eye out for it.

My view of Quantum on the way to work this morning...sorry for the terrible quality lol

Has the Explorer passed on New York Harbor webcam yet?

She's on now.

Doesn't she sail at 4pm? Looks like she is still in port according to the map on Webcam (tho I can't see her on the cam since it's facing the other way).

That's what I thought too.

Hey everyone,

I hope this doesn't break any rules of the forums by posting this link, but if anyone wants to watch Explorer leave Cape Liberty live for the last time, this webcam usually follows ships until it passes under the Verrazano.

I actually live a block up from the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn and can walk to one of the foot bridges to get by the shore to take some pics and post here, but the weather is terrible in the Tri-State. :(

They did up until May 2011. You could get OBC up until 3 days before the ship sailed. They stopped doing that to align more with all the other mass market lines policies. Now all you can do is try for an upgrade.

 

 

Carnivals early saver rate is the only one. There are other restrictions though like non refundable deposit I think.

I had no idea other lines did the same thing, I just thought Royal was being stubborn lol

That other poster got an adjustment because she was before final payment. They won't refund anything at all after final, but you can look for a possible upgrade at a lower price.

That what I figured, lol. Oh well, can't win all the time I guess :(

Don't bother calling again. That policy has been in place for a few years. No recourse other than to upgrade to a higher category cabin and pay the difference.

I dont understand why they can't issue OBC though. Makes absolutely no sense to me.
