Deck-by-Deck Breakdown of the Best and Worst Cabins on the Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas

Deck 2

***CruiseAdvice.org Warning ***
Some cabins on this deck with potential problems.

Most of the cabins on the Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Deck 2 have cabins above them -- this means that they are typically more quiet compared to cabins beneath the disco or sunbathing areas. However, there could be noise concerns in a few of the forward cabins, and noise and propeller vibration issues in more aft located staterooms. Also, aft situated staterooms are beneath the main dining room, so noise while this dining venue is open, and when staff are cleaning, could be an issue in any of these cabins.

• Forward on the Adventure of the Seas, 2536, 2538, 2233, 2235, 2237, and 2239 are located under The Lyric Theatre. Noise from the theatre during rehearsals and performances could be an issue in these cabins.
• Least likely to succeed for quiet cruising on the Adventure of the Seas is 2538. This stateroom is unfortunately located beneath a public bathroom just aft of The Lyric Theatre. Noise (such as water running through the pipes when the bathroom is in use) could be a problem in this cabin.
• Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Cabins 2632-2658 port side and 2332-2358 (in the stern / rear of the ship) may notice a bit of propeller vibration. These cabins are also under the main dining room. There could be noise during dining hours and during the clean-up after each meal. For dinner, the last diners usually exit by 10:30 and there is likely to some noise from the clean-up (vacuum cleaners) as late as 11:30. Given that most people don't get back to their cabins to after 11 PM, this shouldn't be a substantial issue. Breakfast typically starts in the main dining room at 6:00 AM, so -you might hear some noise above starting then. 
• Port side cabins 2546-2590 and starboard cabins 2246-2290 are across the hall from elevators, the conference room, Studio B, and the ice rink. The noise factor this introduces would be when most cruisers are out & about and should not be an afterhours concern.

Deck 3

***CruiseAdvice.org Warning ***
Many cabins on this deck with potential problems.

Of the decks with cabins, Deck 3 has the least. This is no doubt due to the fact that Deck 3 is right beneath several major public areas on the Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas, such as the bars, the casino, and the lounge. 

• Forward cabins 3540 and 3240 are next to public bathrooms. Noise could be an issue when these restrooms are busy.
• Cabins closest to the elevators on Deck 3 of the Adventure of the Seas are 3546, 3548, and 3550 port side and 3246, 3248, and 3250 starboard. While many people like this location for ease of access, noise could be an issue in these staterooms when the elevators are busy.
• Aft on Deck 3 of the Adventure of the Seas, 3628 and 3728 share a wall with the Vivaldi Dining Room. Noise from the dining area could be a concern.
• The interior staterooms on Deck 3 are not recommended because these are under busy public venues on Deck 4 to include the Schooner Bar. These are 3021- 3039, 3023- 3037, 3001, 3003, 3005- 3013, 3019, 3017, and 3015.
• Ocean View Staterooms 3600- 3618 port side are beneath Boleros Bar on Deck 4. Noise until late into the evening could be an issue in any of these staterooms.
• Starboard, Ocean View Staterooms 3700- 3712 are beneath the Aquarium Bar. Noise until late at night could be of concern in these cabins.
• 3624, 3626, 3724, and 3726 are below public bathrooms. Noise from the restrooms (such as running water in the pipes) could be concern.
• We are not suggesting this deck be avoided at all costs, but some of the worst cabins aboard the Royal Caribbean are on Deck 3 because of the afterhours noise from the bars, casino, and lounge areas directly above. If you are light sleeper, you may prefer to find a cabin elsewhere on the ship, bring earplugs, or invest in a wave machine (a sound device available at a specialty retailer like Brookstone -- produces pleasant sounds that can wipe out the unpleasant sounds).

Deck 6 -- Upper Deck

***CruiseAdvice.org Warning***
Some cabins on this deck may have potential problems.

Along this entire deck, be aware that a main drag of the Adventure of the Seas runs beneath your cabin. However, with the exception of the main lounge more forward on Deck 5, and the top tier of the main dining room aft, there should not be much of a noise issue in many of the mid ship cabins on this deck.

• Forward, inside cabins 6533, 6133, 6233, 6535, 6135, 6235, 6237, and 6137 are closest to having any noise issues from the main lounge, which does feature live music. If you are light sleeper, you may prefer to find a cabin elsewhere on the ship, bring earplugs, or a wave machine (a sound device available at a specialty retailer like Brookstone -- produces pleasant sounds that can wipe out the unpleasant sounds).
• Forward, 6500 and 6200 are Family Ocean View Staterooms. Each has 265 sq. ft., and is more spacious than a standard ocean view cabin. Family accommodations are in in short supply and are very popular given their attractive sleeping arrangements. They sell out very quickly, so it is best to book early to get a family cabin. Additionally, you will likely not to be permitted to reserve a family cabin unless you have a certain number of people you are booking into that cabin on Deck 6 of the Adventure of the Seas.
• Port side and starboard, all exterior staterooms are either Superior Ocean View Staterooms or Deluxe Ocean View Staterooms. (Superior Ocean View Staterooms are a bit more spacious and have slightly larger balconies than Deluxe Ocean View Staterooms.)
• Promenade interior staterooms, port side 6553- 6611 and starboard 6253- 6311, are all slightly larger than average inside cabins and have a view of the Royal Promenade through bowed windows on the Adventure's Deck 6.
• Least preferred Promenade Staterooms are 6575- 6583 port side because these are above the Duck and Frog Pub. Noise could be a concern late at night in these cabins.
• Port side, Balcony Staterooms 6570- 6582 are over the Duck and Frog Pub. Noise could be an issue until late into the evening.
• Aft, Deluxe Ocean View Staterooms 6688, 6690, 6390, and 6388 have larger balconies on Deck 6. Please note that the steel structure that is part of the Adventure of the Seas will obstruct views looking down from the balconies of these cabins.
• Aft prime balcony accommodations on the Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Deck 6 are Junior Suites 6692, 6694, 6394, and 6392. All of these are roomy with over-sized balconies. Please note that the steel structure that is part of the Adventure of the Seas will obstruct views looking down from the balconies of these cabins.
• Staterooms including luxurious accommodations aft on Deck 6 of the Adventure (6364-6694) are just above the main dining room. There could be noise during dining hours and during the clean-up after each meal. For dinner, the last diners usually exit by 10:30 and there is likely to some noise from the clean-up (vacuum cleaners) as late as 11:30. Given that most people don't get back to their cabins to after 11 PM, this shouldn't be a substantial issue. Breakfast typically starts in the main dining room at 6:00 AM, so, you might hear some noise above starting then. But few people go to the main dining room for breakfast, so this should not be a major issue.
• Deluxe Balcony Staterooms 6600, 6604, 6300, and 6304 have larger balconies, and are wheelchair accessible.

Deck 7

***CruiseAdvice.org Favorite Deck ***
Highly rated by our cruise experts!

The Adventure of the Seas Deck 7 is one of the best locations for a cabin! Because of the cabin decks above and beneath it that buffer noise from public venues, it's typically more quiet in Deck 7 accommodations.

• Promenade View Interior Staterooms 7553- 7611 port side and 7253- 7311 starboard have a view of Promenade through bowed windows.
• Forward, Family Ocean View Staterooms 7500 and 7200 each boast 265 sq. ft. Family accommodations are in in short supply and are very popular given their attractive sleeping arrangements. They sell out very quickly, so it is best to book early to get a family cabin. Additionally, you will likely not to be permitted to reserve a family cabin unless you have a certain number of people you are booking into that cabin on Deck 7 of the Adventure of the Seas.
• Moving forward to aft, 7514- 7680 port side and 7214- 7380 starboard are all Balcony Staterooms on Deck 7 of the Adventure of the Seas.
• In our opinion, the best situated Balcony Staterooms and suites on Deck 7 of the Adventure of the Seas are as follows. Port side through aft, we recommend 7516- 7522, 7530, 7532, 7554- 7560, 7576- 7580, 7588- 7594, 7604- 7608, 7638- 7656, and 7668- 7694. Starboard through aft, we suggest 7216- 7234, 7254- 7260, 7276- 7280, 7288- 7296, 7304- 7308, 7342- 7354, and 7366- 7394.
• Mid ship on the Adventure of the Seas Deck 7, Deluxe Ocean View Staterooms 7600, 7604, 7300, and 7304 feature larger than average balconies, and are wheelchair accessible.
• Aft, we suggest Junior Suites 7692, 7694, 7394, and 7392 if you're looking for a bit of luxury, a large balcony, and superior ocean views. Please note that steel structures that are part of the ship's design may obstruct your aft balcony views when looking down.
• If space is not the concern but the great (and less breezy) aft balcony is, we suggest Deluxe Ocean View Staterooms 7688, 7690, 7390, and 7388. (Balcony space is larger than average, too!) Please note that steel structures that are part of the ship's design may obstruct your aft balcony views when looking down.

Deck 8

***CruiseAdvice.org Favorite Deck ***
Highly rated by our cruise experts!

The Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas' Deck 8 is also quiet, because there are cabins directly beneath and above. Here, you will find Royal Family Suites that are quite spacious, as well as roomy ocean view staterooms.

• Forward, Family Ocean View Staterooms 8500 and 8200 provide awesome forward views. Each of these staterooms offers 265 sq. ft., and feature two twin beds that convert to a queen sized bed, two pullman beds in a separate area, and a sitting area with a sofa bed. Family accommodations are in in short supply and are very popular given their attractive sleeping arrangements. They sell out very quickly, so it is best to book early to get a family cabin. Additionally, you will likely not to be permitted to reserve a family cabin unless you have a certain number of people you are booking into that cabin.

• With 610 sq. ft. and over-sized (234 sq. ft.) balconies, the aft Royal Family Suites 8694 and 8394 are the best cabins on Deck 8 of the Adventure of the Seas. Please note that steel structures that are part of the ship's design may obstruct your aft balcony views when looking down. Family accommodations are in in short supply and are very popular given their attractive sleeping arrangements. They sell out very quickly, so it is best to book early to get a family cabin.

• Aft, deluxe ocean view staterooms 8690, 8692, 8392, and 8390 are smaller, but right next to Royal Family Suites. These also have less windy balcony ocean views. Please note that steel structures that are part of the ship's design may obstruct your aft balcony views when looking down.

• Forward on Deck 9 of the Adventure of the Seas, Family Ocean View Staterooms 9500 and 9200 have great ocean views, and each provides 265 sq. ft. Family accommodations are in in short supply and are very popular given their attractive sleeping arrangements. They sell out very quickly, so it is best to book early to get a family cabin.

Deck 10

***CruiseAdvice.org Warning ***
Several cabins on this deck with potential problems.

While there are several Grand Suites, Owner's Suites, and Junior Suites on Deck 10 of the Adventure of the Seas, on Lido Deck just above there are busy public venues (the fitness center, the pools, Splashaway Bay, Giovanni's Table, and the Windjammer Cafe). 

• While you are in the luxury zone on Deck 10 of the Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas, bear in mind that you are also just beneath Deck 11 which is Lido Deck.

Deck 11

***CruiseAdvice.org Favorite Deck ***
Highly rated by our cruise experts!

On Deck 11 on the Adventure of the Seas, there are only six cabins- two Interior Staterooms and four Junior Suites. The suites do have cabins above and below that buffer noise from public areas. All of these accommodations have the added benefit of being close to the fitness center and the pools.

• Interior Staterooms 1103 and 1101 are beneath public bathrooms on Deck 12 of the Adventure of the Seas. Also, these staterooms are closest to the fitness area. Noise could be a problem in either of these staterooms as a result.
