Adventure OTS deck plan changes 2016-2018 refurbishments review

The ship’s 2016 drydock refurbishment (October 17 - November 13) resulted in the following deck plan changes:

• On Sports Deck 13, the RCI’s signature waterslides “Cyclone” and “Typhoon” were installed. This made Adventure the first Voyager-class Royal Caribbean ship with water slides. Also on deck 13, a FlowRider (surfing simulator) was installed. Also here, a new 2-story mini-golf course was added (replacing the old 1-level Adventure Dunes).
• On Spa Deck 12 (aft), the new “Splashaway Bay” kids aqua park was added. This is a new-design interactive water play area with cannons and geysers. It replaced the old Adventure Beach (outdoor kids playground).
• The new water park and the duo of waterslides were first introduced on the RCI ships Liberty of the Seas and Harmony of the Seas (Oasis-class).
• Izumi (Japanese cuisine / sushi restaurant /a la carte priced) was added on deck 5 (starboard).
• Chops Grille (steakhouse restaurant offering dry-aged beef steaks) was added on deck 4 (portside).
• Boleros Lounge & Bar (Latin-themed entertainment) was added also on deck 4 (portside).
• Over 100 new cabins were added, including spa staterooms (all oceanview) forward on deck 12. All the staterooms were renovated.
• New exclusive Suite Lounge was added on deck 14 (portside).

RCI's budget for the Adventure OTS drydock refit and refurbishment was the impressive USD 61 million.

RCI scaled back some of the Adventure's renovations due to the damages at Grand Bahamas Shipyard (Freeport) caused by Hurricane Matthew. The ship exited dry dock on Nov 14  (2016) as scheduled. Some of the planned changes were implemented - updated design and decor, renovated areas (Boleros, 2-story Mini-Golf Course). However, there were ongoing works during the next cruises and into 2017-2018. Among those are:

• Waterslides, FlowRider, Splashaway Bay - open on Dec 10, 2016.
• Chops Grille (Deck 4 port side, across Schooner Bar).) and the Suite Lounge both open in March 2018. Also during the ship's 2018 drydock (February) will be added new inside and oceanview cabins.
• Izumi and new staterooms will not be added.
• Giovanni's Table offered select items from the Chops Grille menu until the steakhouse's opening in 2017.
• On Deck 2 were added 5 Studio Interior cabins (category J). These staterooms are for solo travellers and are bookable without single supplement fees.
