Royal Caribbean International
Cruise Style: Mainstream
Big, bigger, biggest! Over a decade ago, Royal Caribbean launched the first of the modern mega-cruise liners and continues to be an all-around favorite of passengers who enjoy traditional cruising ambiance with a touch of daring and whimsy tossed in. Plunging into the twenty-first century, Royal Caribbean has introduced such new and unheard of features as rock climbing walls, ice skating rinks, and even the first surfing simulator on a cruise ship. What's next?
Special Features
Royal Caribbean ships are topped by the company’s distinctive signature Viking Crown Lounge. These lofty perches allow passengers to contemplate the passing seascape by day and dance away the night in a disco high above the water. Expansive atriums and the generous use of brass and floor to ceiling glass windows give each ship a sense of spaciousness and style.
Dining is an International experience with changing nightly themes and cuisines from around the world.

Your Shipmates
Royal Caribbean cruises have a broad appeal with something for everyone. Families are partial to the newer vessels that have larger staterooms and seemingly endless choices of activities and alternative dining options. A variety of lounges and high-energy stage shows draw the young and young at heart out to mingle and dance the night away. The over-55 age group is attracted to longer cruises and more exotic itineraries.
Junior Cruisers
Supervised age-appropriate activities are designed for children ages 3 through 17 and evening babysitting services are available. On the newest ships, teen centers with a disco satisfy even the pickiest teenagers. A flat rate soda card program is a bonus for family budgets. Children can have all the fountain soft drinks they desire for a nominal charge. Drawbacks for families are the small standard cabins in the older vessels and the lack of self-service laundry facilities.
