smiles998 Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 I have read that Adventure of the seas will be Amplified this year during dry dock, but I have also read that it has been postponed. Does anyone know for sure what will happen to AOTS in October of 2021? Crossing my fingers that she will be Amplified!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 No one knows for sure. Royal has not officially said anything. Crew rumors about a drydock are reported, but those are just rumors without details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 FWIW, I don't expect it to get amplified this year when she goes in for dry dock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twangster Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 Adventure was mostly amped already. She was pretty much the start of the amplification movement and the success with her upgrades led to the official amplification program being sold to the board that some other ships received. In that sense Adventure was the trial amplification. She received water slides, new venues like Izumi, updates around the ship in other venues, new cabins, new mini golf, suite lounge, etc. She did not get a Playmakers and her pool deck did not get a complete makeover like on Navigator (but neither did Mariner with her amp). Really it comes down to Playmakers being absent and maybe The Bamboo Room. Not all ships got those so it's hard to know what Adventure was supposed to get in her "amp". Some of that was probably marketing so they could officially call her "amped". The point is Adventure has received a number of updates but it wasn't called an amplification at the time.

smiles998 Posted September 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 More than anything else, I am hoping for more eating venues.... Boardwalk Dog House, El Loco Fresh, Jamie's Italian, Playmakers Sports bar, or even just a dedicated location for Serrentos and expanding the Cafe Promenade... ..

That's Freedom class and newer. No Voyager class has had a dedicated Sorrento's installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SummerRose Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Do we have any idea if Adventure is (currently) being Amplified? I just booked a November 26th sailing so would love to know if we'll have an updated ship! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 I thought Royal said there was no amplifications done for the time being due to COVID crisis. Doesn’t mean they won’t do dry docks. Maintenance has to be done. Mostly technical to ships and engines. Some ships might get new beds, new carpets. But I would not expect any new slides, restaurants, or features for the time being.

She already received slides, new restaurants, cabin updates, suite lounge, etc. Adventure received all the hallmarks upgrades of an amplification one year before they started calling them amplifications. She was the start of the amplification process, they just hadn't coined the term yet. Granted she did not Playmakers but neither did Voyager in her amplification. Granted she did not get a new resort style pool deck but neither did Mariner in her amplification. It always amazes me how one marketing word catches so many people up.

Egeria Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 I follow one of the ice skaters on Instagram and she has been posting about not being in dry dock very long, and that they are staying quarantined on board during the repairs. It didn't sound like she will be in dry dock very long, just about a month. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rondo Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Any news on when dry dock will be done? We have a B2B Nov. 8 & 12. They have already cancelled the cruises ahead of us and for a couple of days our cruise was marked “Voyage cancelled” on our Upcoming Cruises page and then removed a few days later.

Plumlee2028 Posted October 24, 2021 Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 Some of the tracking/vessel location sites look like it's leaving Europe heading towards Coco Cay. Should be back in time. I'll be on the 12th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff P Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 Any details on what Adventure had done in dry dock? I know nobody has been on yet since, but just curious if any rumors or details have been floating around…wife is hoping for an El Loco Fresh lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got some passenger facing work done in around 2018 or so (I believe) including slides, some room refreshes, Izumi on the promenade, and some other things. I went on Adventure in June, I don't expect any differences. Their marketing team is usually pretty good at making us all very aware of updates.

It's interesting that they are not in a hurry to get across the Atlantic. The last post from MarineTraffic.com was a couple days ago and they were poking along at 18kt. I wonder if there is an issue or just saving fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 No upgrades/enhancements. Just maintenance. Geoff P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
