A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A CRUISE WITH ROYAL CARIBBEAN
Whether it's rock-climbing or ice skating, taking
a tour with one of our experienced shore excursion
guides or simply relaxing in the sun on the
top deck. There really is so much to do on a
Royal Caribbean cruise our guests will never
get bored.
A typical day for the family
As we've done every morning of our holiday.
we wake up at our leisure. The kids are still
fast asleep - it must be the exercise and the
sea air! We have arrived in a new port - looking
forward to what the day will bring.
First things first - it's off to the Windjammer
Cafe for breakfast and to plan the day. There
are plenty of options to keep the whole family
happy! Eggs, bacon, fruit, cereal, toast. pancakes,
waffles. the list goes on and on...! Royal Caribbean
also offers Shipshape' dishes which have been
specially created to offer low fat, low cholesterol
options. There really is something for everyone
to enjoy.
The kids have decided on an active day on the
ship - so they are off swimming, to have a game
of basketball, and then onto the Adventure Ocean'
programme. With specially designed and supervised
activities that cater for seven separate age
groups from 6 months to 17 years it is the perfect
way to keep them all entertained!
For the adults it's a guided sightseeing tour
around our latest port. After the tour and a
quick visit to the local markets it's back to
the ship for a late-lunch and an afternoon
by the pool with the kids (if they aren't having
too much fun!).
Once the evening approaches it is time to make
a decision on where to eat. With such a range
of choices it really does depend on our mood.
We love the 4 course menu in the main dining
room and the fine dining service is always a
delight. Tonight we are off to Johnny Rockets'
for a classic 1950's American style diner meal
- should be a fun and filling meal which is
just what we need after our busy day.
After dinner we go to watch a show before heading
to Casino Royale to try our luck. The older
kids are back to the special nightclub for teenagers
- Fuel. For the younger ones we are taking advantage
of the babysitting service offered on the ship
and leaving them in the company of a Royal Caribbean
baby sitter What a treat!
Wow - another day has flown by! Time to head
back to our stateroom, have a night-cap on our
balcony and get ready to do it all again tomorrow!

A typical day for couples
Wake up and it's another beautiful day!
Both of us are fully refreshed after taking
full advantage of the spa facilities yesterday.
so ready to do some exploring around our
latest port of call!
But first it's time to eat. As we are keen
to get our day started it is just a quick
continental style breakfast at the Windjammer
Cafe, then off to the port on our guided
shore excursion.
The shore excursions that Royal Caribbean
offer are amazing - everything from local
food and wine tours to helicopter trips
over exotic locations, the choice is incredible!
Today we have decided on doing a back country
Jeep tour. The tour itself was amazing and
the waterfalls that we saw were incredible!
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable as
well as being great funl He really gave
us a great understanding of all the local
places of interest.
Still buzzing from the amazing sights, the
afternoon is all about relaxation, Royal
Caribbean really does go out of its way
to ensure couples have as much privacy as
they want and as much fun as they can handle'
From nice touches such as the hammock for
two, the special couples massage room and
the adult's only swimming pools to the intimate
eateries, we really are extremely well catered
for.
After our lazy afternoon it's time to get
ready for this evenings activities!
Last night we tried one of the speciality
restaurants - Chops Grille, the steaks that
they offer are unbelievable: Tonight is
the formal night in the main dining room.
Everyone looks absolutely fantastic' As
ever, the food on offer is delicious and
the people on our table are fantastic company.
Over our meal we decide what to do for the
rest of the evening. We have already visited
the onboard cinema to check out the latest
releases and the Ice-Spectacular that we
saw last night was nothing short of amazing!
Tonight we are off to the nightclub and
if the mood takes us - a little karaoke
Once again we fall into bed, tired but happy
after yet another fantastic day on a Royal
Caribbean ship. I'm so pleased we decided
to go on this cruise together - we've had
the most fantastic time! |
