Whats Great About Royal Caribbean Cruise Ships

By Marc Lindham


Royal Caribbean cruise ships are operated by Royal Caribbean International, a Norwegian and United States owned company. It was started in Norway back in 1968. Nowadays they own and operate twenty two ships and control approximately seventeen percent of the large cruise line market. All their ships have "of the seas" at the end of their name.

They have some of the very best ships in the market with several classes to choose from. There are six classes to choose from including Freedom, Radiance, Voyager and Sovereign. Each one offers slightly different features and itineraries to suit all customers. You will find some are more family-friendly, while others are more suited to the older market.

Aboard each ship there are a variety of cabins to suit your needs and budget. Many have outdoor views, however some are on the inside of the ship, giving no outdoor view. All rooms as standard are fitted with a large double or twin beds, TV with internet access, telephone, minibars and private bathrooms with shower or bath. The suites are larger with balconies and more luxurious bathrooms with spa baths.

There are many things to do on the ships, they all have many options for eating and drinking through the day and night. They have large swimming and sunbathing areas and many other physical activities to keep you occupied. They all have spas with treatments, gyms, shopping arcades and libraries to name a few. Every cruise makes a number of stops where passengers can disembark and visit each place. This breaks up the time at sea and adds variety.

There are so many things to do aboard a ship, and in between eating and sleeping you will never be bored. However, if you feel like relaxing, there are many options for that too, with relaxing activities such as yoga classes or just lazing by the pool in the sun.

If you want to be more active, there are several things to choose from, such as mini golf, skating or climbing. There is even a Zip line for those very daring, where you can fly through the air on a wire. The pool areas are equipped for all ages with fast water rides, smaller things for little ones and sundecks for those who don't want to be splashed. Some ships also have a surf simulator.

After dark there are more things to do with a variety of shows to choose from for all the family. For the grown ups there are cocktail bars and the casino. For the children there is a 3D cinema and play areas including a Carousel. Whatever your age or interests there is something for everyone to keep you busy.

Royal Caribbean Cruise Ships have routes to all parts of the world including the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Australia and Asia. One of their most popular destinations is their Mediterranean routes. Possible itineraries visit areas such as Spain, France, Italy and Greece. The two most popular itineraries to these areas are eleven days in the East Mediterranean visiting Greece, Turkey and Croatia and their West European trip which stops at Spain and Italy.
