Adventure of the Seas is an engaging ship - not the largest, not the smallest. We received excellent service, and we had plenty to do. This was our first Royal Caribbean cruise, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The ship is attractive, with interesting artwork and a design that mostly allows for a smooth flow of traffic. We enjoyed both production shows and two comedy shows on this 5-day cruise.
I really enjoyed the casino. The décor suggests a 30s/40s movie theater, and I thought it was a good size for the number of players aboard. I never had to wait more than a few minutes for a seat, mostly for three-card poker.
I rate my casino experience very high for this cruise. The supervisors did a very good job evaluating table play, which was unexpected. Even better, I played with an impressive number of proficient dealers who color up or down on payouts, know the payouts by heart, interact well with different types of people, and are engaging. Additionally, the hosts came and introduced themselves to me, which has only happened once before on 20 cruises.
I spent my career in the restaurant industry, and I appreciate being on the receiving end of great service and hospitality, particularly when it feels authentic. I was made to feel genuinely welcome here.
