Entering service in November 2001, Adventure of the Seas was
named by then-New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and the ship's
sponsors are members of the New York City Fire Department and
Police Department during a ceremony in Manhattan.
Adventure of the Seas is a Voyager-class mega-cruise ship. As
such, she is one of the world's largest ships. Because of her size, she
is able to carry a wide variety of amenities and facilities.
The overall style is upbeat and modern, which is consistent with
Royal Caribbean's slogan "Get out there". The ship is primarily
aimed at people interested in an active adventurous vacation.
However, there is more than ample space for people who just want
to relax, enjoy a show and have a good meal in a high quality
environment.
No single word or phrase describes the public rooms on Adventure
of the Seas. To illustrate, there is the fantasy-land Royal Promenade,
the sophisticated Lyric Theater, and the sumptuous main dining
room. The one thing that does connect them is that all were done
using quality materials and a lot of thought.
From a technological stand-point, Adventure is a modern
state-of-the-art cruise ship. She is propelled by three pods, each of
which contains a large electric motor that turns a fixed blade
propeller. They are suspended beneath the ship. Two of these are
azipods, capable of turning 360 degrees. As such, they not only
propel the ship but they take the place of traditional rudders and
stern thrusters. The third pod is fixed position and only serves to
propel the ship. The motors in the three pods receive power from
diesel engines located inside the hull.

Bounded on either end by multi-deck high atria called Centrums (above), the Royal Promenade is a four-story high mall running
down the middle of the ship. Here, passengers can shop, have a drink, have something to eat or just watch the people. In the
evenings, it is the scene of parades, parties and receptions.
The Royal Promenade is
decorated in a whimsical
theme-park style. A
vintage auto is parked in

statues of a tourist (below

and workmen (right)
populate the scene.
