The ship was Adventure of the Seas. When I first saw this boat my jaw hit the ground, it was huge!!   We walked onto the ship and it was grand. First thing we saw was the mall down the center of the ship, it was beautiful. Every part of this ship was beautiful and well designed. Our room (we had a balcony room) was small but perfect. The more we explored on the ship the more we learned about it. On the back to the ship there was a rock climbing wall, roller skating rink, minnie golf course and basket ball court. In the middle of the ship there were 2 outdoor pools and 2 spas. then inside was an adult only area with another pool and spa.  then You went inside and down a deck or 2 and there was the Mall and one of the theaters. We saw many perfomances/shows in here, it always made for an enjoyable evening. On the bottom deck there was an ice skating rink where there was an ice show and...</p>...

Our cruise was the 7 day Caribean cruise with stops at Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua, St. Marten and St. Thomas.<br/><br/>Overall it was OK. The staff are great, the ship is immaculate and the food in the dining room was above average.<br/><br/>Here's the negatives:<br/><br/>Hold on to your wallet.<br/><br/>After paying for your airline ticket and cruise fees you will be bombarded non-stop with sales pitches for art, watches, booze and jewelry; all of which are overpriced when compared with any major city n the USA.<br/><br/>If the on-board attacks aren't enough the moment you step off the ship the locals go at it with even greater fervor. I felt like a success just getting through the gauntlet of taxi drivers we were then funneled through these "Diamonds International" stores everywhere we went, no bargains there.<br/><br/>Additionally the stops were too short with the ship casting off at 5PM which allowed for NO time to really enjoy the island's true culture. But if you......

We took the Adventure out of  Barcelona Spain. It was great! We visted ports in France and Italy. The crew onboard were great and very helpful. I enjoyed my first experience with RCL, so much so that I booked another cruise with them almost immediately after returning home. RCL's service is much better than Carnival's. There is one major difference that I noticed between RCL and Carnival, Carnival is known for being the "fun" ship (lots of partying) RCL is more of a low key enjoyable time. Carnival puts their disco club right smack in the middle of everything, and RCL tucks it away, which is much nicer because if that is what you are looking for then you will know where to find it, but you dont have to be bothered by it if you dont want to be....

I always make my decision based upon itinerary and I was pleased with most of the ports. Curacao did not have too much to offer but I know that it makes sense to stop there after Aruba. The ship itself was beautiful, even though this is a mega ship you often wondered where the other 3,000 or so people were at since other than the pool area while "at sea" you never felt very crowded. Plenty of stuff to keep you busy on the ship, I almost missed out on rock climbing since I didn't have enough time to do everything. Food was great as always, though I have very simple tastes so you may or may not agree if you are a true foodie. The room was of course small but they did their best to provide the space saving features to make it all work. The only downside besides going home was all the extras, but this is the case with any cruise; you just have to be careful that everything adds up and...</p>...

I have been on a couple of different cruise lines, but this is my favorite one by far.  I would requirement this cruise line to anyone.  It is funn for kids and adults.  I would do this cruise again in a heartbeat!!...
