What is Royal Caribbean known for?
Royal Caribbean is renowned for their innovative ships, record-breaking onboard activities like surf simulators and skydiving experiences, and award-winning entertainment. Their ships are often among the biggest in the world, offering a “city-at-sea” experience.
Your fare includes accommodation, main dining (including buffet and main dining rooms), most onboard activities, Broadway-style shows, pools, and access to the fitness centre. Drinks like water, tea, coffee, and juice are free in the buffet.
