Join us for our first Trip Report, since the ships stopped sailing last March. Nick joins us this week to discuss his family’s sailing aboard Royal Caribbean’s Adventure of the Seas. This was Royal Caribbeans first sailing in the Caribbean, since the covid pandemic began. Nick and his family are seasoned cruisers, so he brings a lot of insight into the changes you will experience once you get back onboard a Royal Caribbean ship. We discuss getting to Nassau, embarkation, state room selection, packages booked, dining options (main dining room and specialty dining), onboard entertainment, the pool deck, and stopping at Royal Caribbeans private island, Perfect Day at Coco Cay. It’s exciting to finally bring some real life experiences, to help you and your family plan your next cruise. Enjoy everyone!
