Dining & Food Options
Food is a huge part of the Royal Caribbean experience. Guests can enjoy included dining in the main dining room, casual buffet options, pizza, snacks, cafés, and quick bites throughout the ship. Many ships also offer specialty restaurants, from steakhouses and Italian dining to sushi, seafood, Mexican, and creative themed experiences.
Incredible Ships
Royal Caribbean is known for some of the most impressive cruise ships in the world. Their ships are more like floating resorts than traditional boats, with neighborhoods, pools, restaurants, theaters, lounges, kids’ spaces, sports areas, and quiet corners for people who occasionally need to escape humanity for five blessed minutes.
Family-Friendly Cruising
Royal Caribbean is a strong choice for families because there is something for almost every age group. Kids can enjoy splash areas, clubs, arcades, sports courts, mini golf, waterslides, shows, and family-friendly dining. Parents can enjoy the magical cruise illusion of “family bonding” while also maybe getting twenty quiet minutes with a drink.
Entertainment Onboard
The entertainment is one of Royal Caribbean’s biggest strengths. Depending on the ship, guests may find Broadway-style productions, ice skating shows, aqua theater performances, comedy, live music, game shows, karaoke, parades, and themed parties. It is very hard to be bored unless you are actively committed to the project.
Pools, Slides & Activities
Royal Caribbean ships are packed with things to do. Many ships feature multiple pools, hot tubs, waterslides, rock climbing walls, surf simulators, laser tag, escape rooms, sports courts, and fitness centers. Some ships go even bigger with zip lines, ice skating, bumper cars, and full waterparks at sea.
Oasis Class Ships
Royal Caribbean’s Oasis Class ships are famous for being massive, exciting, and packed with features. These ships introduced the neighborhood concept, including areas like Central Park, the Boardwalk, Royal Promenade, pool decks, entertainment zones, and dedicated youth spaces. Oasis Class is a great fit for travelers who want tons of dining, nightlife, activities, and “wait, this is on a ship?” moments.
Icon Class Ships
Icon Class is Royal Caribbean’s newest generation of mega-ship, designed especially for families, thrill seekers, and travelers who want the biggest version of everything. These ships include major waterpark-style attractions, expanded family neighborhoods, many pools, tons of dining venues, and bold entertainment spaces. Icon Class takes the floating resort idea and says, “What if we made it even more unhinged, but with better snacks?”
Perfect Day at CocoCay
Many Royal Caribbean Caribbean itineraries visit Perfect Day at CocoCay, the cruise line’s private island in The Bahamas. Guests can enjoy beaches, pools, waterparks, cabanas, beach clubs, kid-friendly areas, dining, and plenty of ways to either relax completely or spend the day launching themselves down waterslides like a vacation goblin.
