Knightyme23 1 Report post Posted August 5, 2014 Recently noticed the voyager of the seas is getting upgrades that include a surf simulator. Noticed that the adventure of the seas got upgrades but no surf simulator. Are they going to revisit the adventure of the seas for more upgrades?

Matt 9,467 Report post Posted August 6, 2014 Not anytime soon. Adventure of the Seas' upgrades were part of a fleet-wide program and it should be set for another few years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike 55 Report post Posted August 6, 2014 This makes me curious why Adventure got left out. Considering another Voyager '1.0' class ship got it, surely that would rule out structural issues. Like the tootsie roll pop the world may never know :o . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like the tootsie roll pop the world may never know :o . There really is no rhyme or reason to why Royal Caribbean is upgrading some ships and not others. Currently Explorer, Adventure, and Jewell are the only ones left in the fleet to not receive upgrades. And why aren't all the ships getting similar upgrades? Some ships received a lot of upgrades, others got just a few. According to their schedule Jewell isn't getting upgraded until 2016! <_< Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According to this page, Adventure of the Seas would have received her enhancements back in April during her drydock. I'm surprised that not much happened then given the scope of what they did for other ships. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike 55 Report post Posted August 6, 2014 Here's another possibility. Of the ships that got different and/or less upgrades, what markets do they serve? Its possible there was less demand or different liabilities at play. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm surprised that not much happened then given the scope of what they did for other ships. Yeah, Adventure did get some enhancements, but honestly not much of an upgrade. In my opinion, the wayfinder screens are not upgrades worth advertising. Yes they are nice for those lost onboard, but it is something every ship should come standard with. It's not a perk to sail on that specific ship. "Hey lets sail Adventure because they have those Samsung touchscreen tvs turned on their side to help you find your way around!" The Voyager Class ships are going on 15 years old now, they need to be modernized inside throughout. I love how Navigator's Royal Promenade got a makeover with LED lighting and the storefronts got redesigned to look like those in Oasis/Quantum class. It's a modern twist on the glitz and glamour of what cruise in the 1990's used to look like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 9,467 Report post Posted August 7, 2014 To be clear Adventure DID get upgrades. In fact, every ship (except for Majesty) will or has gotten upgrades. What each ship gets depends on different factors, look no further than the Vision class for examples of which ships got what. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
