Facilities on board
Entertainment
- With glitzy, glamorous entertainment aplenty, the show never stops on a Royal Caribbean holiday. Be dazzled by our West-End style theatre productions. Or be left on the edge of your seat by the AquaTheatre’s acrobatic high-diving antics.
- There’s brilliant comedy, immense live music and stunning ice-skating shows that will take your breath away. And if movies are your thing, there’s all the latest blockbusters in 3D too. All of this is included in the price so the only trouble is working out how you’re going to fit it all in.
Food and Drink
- Japanese or Italian? Savoury or sweet? Whatever tantalises your taste buds, you’ll find it all on our ships, with an incredible array of onboard restaurants and cafés.
- We’ve brought in some of the world’s' leading chefs to master craft our menus, bringing all their tastes and ideas straight to our decks, with each ship offering something different. So, whether you fancy a quick bite to eat, a fun family meal, or an intimate gastronomic 5-course dinner, you’ll be left more than satisfied.
Recreational
- With so many extraordinary activities on offer, you can tailor-make your Royal Caribbean holiday to be just as exhilarating (or relaxing) as you like. Head for the heights with the rock-wall, catch waves on the FlowRider, or make a splash in the H2O Zone water park. Or, if rest and relaxation is more your thing, retreat to our blissful Spa to pamper yourself from head to toe. With most of our activities free, you’ll always find fun for all the family onboard.
Relaxation
- Surrender to a new level of well-being and peaceful reflection. Make the most of our highly qualified fitness professionals or lie back and get lost in the moment – our Vitality Spa and Fitness facilities will leave you feeling refreshed, and invigorated.
