We (Deb and Jack from Massachusetts) cruised to the Southern Caribbean during the week of February 5, 2006. This was our third cruise, and our second with Royal Caribbean. Since we had already had the experience of a cabin with a balcony, it was a must for us again. The Adventure of the Seas is a beautiful and extraordinarily large ship. Although the ship had approximately 3,000 passengers on board, it rarely seemed crowded. Skip to comments section at the end of this review to find out if we would sail on this ship again.
Pre-night in San Juan: We stayed at the Sheraton Old San Juan. I suggest that a pre-night is a must if you live in the snowy northeast like we do, and I would recommend the Sheraton. It was a clean, quiet hotel. It has a small casino too.
Arriving at Airport in San Juan: We booked our own air arrangements and arrived in San Juan around 3 pm, without any trouble at all.
