Royal Caribbean International is one of the world’s biggest and most popular cruise lines. With more than 50 years of experience, the brand is known for larger-than-life ships, adrenaline-pumping top-deck attractions, and family-friendly cruise experiences.

The legacy of Royal Caribbean began in 1970 with the launch of its first ship, Song of Norway. In the years since, the company has grown along with its vessels. According to its website, Royal Caribbean’s original office in Biscayne Bay could now fit inside of a single conference room at Royal Caribbean Group’s current Miami headquarters.

To help wrap your head around this crown-and-anchor cruise line and its expanding fleet, here is everything you might want to know about cruising with Royal Caribbean.

Complete Guide to Cruising With Royal Caribbean

Who Should Cruise Royal Caribbean?

The reason why Royal Caribbean is so ubiquitous with cruising is because it appeals to many different types and demographics of cruisers. It is often awarded as one of the most kid-friendly cruise lines for its wide range of kid clubs (6 months to 17 years), water parks, attractions like climbing walls, Boardwalk-style amusements, family-friendly entertainment, and tailormade accommodations.

However, because so many of Royal Caribbean’s public spaces are spread out, there are plenty of adults-only areas, luxury suites, a sprawling spa, and ample nightlife options to serve the couple or friend group.

Royal Caribbean is often flagged as an ideal option for multigenerational groups who can come together over a themed meal at Wonderland or a Broadway show but can also partake in plenty of age-appropriate amusements to keep any family occupied from day to night. Rooms are designed with families in mind, with many connecting cabins to expand your living space on vacation.

Not every ship is an overwhelming size; the Vision and Radiance Classes both average about 2,500 total guests. Still, the majority of Royal Caribbean’s ships are quite massive, which means if you are not a fan of crowds or navigating tons of decks, you might want to choose your ship wisely, or go with another brand. The ships of the Oasis Class have a capacity of about 7,000 guests (and that’s not including the crew).

Royal Caribbean Cabin Categories

Royal Caribbean is known for its wide range of cruise rooms, making it an industry leader in accommodations. There are so many categories of cabins that we won’t tackle them all here, but instead provide a general overview of the types of rooms available across the Royal Caribbean fleet.

One general rule: You are more likely to find a balcony or suite accommodation on a newer vessel. Older ships have a much higher percentage of interior and ocean-view cabins.

Interior

Across most cruise lines, interior or inside cabins have a reputation for being the least desirable because of their more confined space and lack of a view. However, Royal Caribbean has gotten creative with the idea of the interior cabin, offering rooms that are indeed on the inside of the ship but that offer a variety of exciting vistas.

Depending on the ship, you might be able to find an inside cabin with a view of the promenade, the busy central hub of the ship; or an interior room with a view of the lush gardens of Central Park (across Oasis Class). Of course, there are standard inside cabins across the fleet, but don’t forget about the option to book an interior room with a view. One such category even features a virtual balcony, or LED panel that displays an exterior view from a screen, mimicking a balcony.

Ocean View

As befits the name, ocean-view cabins come with a glimpse of the sea. These rooms feature a porthole or picture window and are slightly larger in square footage, in general, than inside cabins.

As with interior rooms, Royal Caribbean has a few creative categories of ocean-view staterooms. There are rooms situated toward the front of the ship that feature sloping windows with views of the bow. There is also a popular category of Radiance-class staterooms called Ultra Spacious Ocean View, which as its name suggests is much larger than a standard outside cabin (319 versus 170 square feet) and also accommodates up to six guests.

Balcony

Probably the most popular stateroom type on any ship is a room featuring a balcony. Royal Caribbean leans into this with more and more balcony rooms with each new vessel. On Quantum-class ships, balcony cabins constitute nearly 70 percent of the onboard accommodations.

If you’re looking to book a balcony on a Royal Caribbean ship, be on the lookout for location. Balcony cabins hover around 180 square feet and can be located at the front, back and both sides of the ship. A unique option, as with Royal’s inside cabins, is a balcony cabin that faces one of its “neighborhoods.” Guests on Oasis-class ships can book an open-air Boardwalk balcony room that overlooks the amusements below as well as a snippet of the sea.

Balcony rooms with an obstruction are available at a discount. But if it’s sweeping panoramas you’re looking for from your verandah, then reconsider booking a stateroom with something blocking your view.

Suite

Royal Caribbean has some of the most innovative suites of any mainstream cruise line, from more affordable mini suites to multilevel penthouse rooms. The line’s Ultimate Family Suite, complete with an in-room slide and an outdoor hot tub, is one of the most fun (and pricy) family-focused accommodations at sea.

Types of suites range from Royal Suites to a Crown Loft Suite With Balcony.

Apart from the features of each individual suite, Royal Caribbean’s suites are divided into classes with their own perks. In order of amenities, there is the Sea Class, Sky Class, and Star Class. Perks include priority boarding, luxury toiletries, and the use of the suite restaurant Coastal Kitchen. Sky Class also includes internet and a concierge, while Star Class offers guests top-tier perks like included gratuities, specialty dining, and a deluxe beverage package.

The use of a Royal Genie comes at Star Class level. This personal butler is assigned to you and your family to create one-of-a-kind experiences and cater to your every whim onboard. 

Accessibility

Royal Caribbean offers staterooms across each ship that can accommodate passengers with physical mobility issues or other additional needs, like lighted alarms for the hearing impaired.

Accessible staterooms are available across all room types and range from 159 to 298 square feet. A five-foot turning radius is included in sleeping areas and bathrooms for wheelchair or scooter users.

Additionally, these rooms come with no doorsill and wide thresholds; shower benches; lowered closet rods and sinks; and bathroom grab bars. Accessible rooms have roll-in showers, except on Quantum ships, which have bathtubs.

To guarantee availability, cruisers are encouraged to contact Royal Caribbean when booking. For sign language interpreting, guests must provide notice at least 60 days in advance; 30 days for special needs equipment and services; and 72 hours if traveling with a group of passengers with a disability.

Select cruises offer Autism on the Seas staffed cruises and group cruises.

Service dogs are allowed onboard with the proper paperwork, but no other pets.

Destinations to Visit When Cruising with Royal Caribbean

As its name suggests, Royal Caribbean’s bread and butter are short to weeklong itineraries in the Caribbean and the Bahamas. With many departures from Florida, these routes are frequent and year-round offerings.

But the cruise line offers much more beyond close, warm-weather ports. Royal Caribbean ships are deployed throughout:

Royal Caribbean Private Islands

Royal Caribbean International boasts two private islands and one on the way. Following an extensive, $250 million island-wide renovation in 2019, CocoCay in the Bahamas became Perfect Day at CocoCay. Since then, guests can expect most of Royal Caribbean’s Bahamas and Caribbean itineraries to call here for an entire day.

Perfect Day at CocoCay

With sides of the island to thrill and chill, Perfect Day is everything you could want from a sunny, Bahamian afternoon in port. Whether it’s a swim-up bar and a cabana on the beach or a splash area for the kids to play, families will find their ultimate vacation day here, where most of the food, drinks, and activities are included.

The Thrill Waterpark should be booked in advance, but features an impressive array of slides, water features and wave pools, as well as the tallest water slide in North America.

Labadee

Located in Haiti, Royal Caribbean’s 260-acre private port features beach loungers aplenty as well as a zip line, a coaster, a playground for kids, and a straw market for shopping. Local vendors can be aggressive, but purchasing a souvenir helps to fuel their economy. Other bookable excursions include parasailing, fishing, snorkeling, and more.

Perfect Day at Lelepa

Not yet open to guests at the time of publication, Royal Caribbean is expanding its “Perfect Day” island concept all the way into the South Pacific. Lelapa will be a first-of-its kind cruise line private island located in New Caledonia, off the east coast of Australia.

Royal Beach Club at Paradise Island

Royal Caribbean is also in the process of developing its first Royal Beach Club experience in Nassau, Bahamas. Opening in 2025, the 17-acre Royal Beach Club at Paradise Island will marry the vibrance of the Bahamas with the cruise line’s signature experiences to create the ultimate beach day with amenities for travelers of all ages.

Onboard Dining on Royal Caribbean Ships

Royal Caribbean cruisers can expect ample dining opportunities, whether you’re looking for juicy burgers for the family or an upscale night out. On Icon of the Seas, there are more than 20 dining venues.

There are always included options for every meal, as well as one of the widest ranges of specialty dining on any ship. Prices for these extra-fee restaurants vary but can add up. Consider booking a specialty dining package to help offset the cost.

For a sample of what to expect at the MDR, check out these sample main dining rooms menus.

Other specialty restaurants that you may find on select Royal Caribbean ships include Portside BBQ, Samba, Fish & Ships, and Sabor.

Bars & Lounges on Royal Caribbean Ships

From tiki-style spots and traditional pubs to mixed drinks made by robots, Royal Caribbean’s assortment of bars and lounges is impressive on any ship. The following are several of the different signature Royal Caribbean venues.

• Schooner Bar: A classic Royal Caribbean watering hole, this late-night bar is outfitted in nautical décor and typically hosts trivia or live piano music.
• Trellis Bar: Located in Central Park on Oasis-class ships, this venue has the feeling of an alfresco wine bar and is well situated for a pre-dinner drink.
• Boleros: If you enjoy Latin flavors both on and off the dance floor, Boleros hosts live salsa and samba music alongside Cuban mojitos and Brazilian caipirinhas.
• The Lime and Coconut: Home to the signature namesake drink, the Lime and Coconut channels all the bright, Caribbean island vibes you desire to kick off your cruise.

• Rising Tide Bar: Gimmicky but also beloved, the Rising Tide bar is a mobile cocktail lounge that rises between the decks of the Promenade like a tipsy elevator.
• Vintages: This is the place for wine connoisseurs to congregate over a glass or bottle of their favorite vino; wine specials available daily.
• English Pub: Sporting a different English-inspired name on each vessel, Royal Caribbean’s English pubs serve up UK-inspired brews and drinks with live music in a laidback atmosphere.

These pools bars go by several names depending on the ship, but all serve a similar menu. There’s also a Solarium Bar located near this pool on several ships in the fleet.
• Starbucks: On select Royal Caribbean ships, you can get your favorite caffeine fix at a Starbucks coffee bar. Note that drink packages do not apply to Starbucks beverage purchases. However, drink packages and the Cafe Select Coffee card do work on Starbucks brewed beverages purchased at Cafe Promenade.

Beverage Packages

With so many bars and lounges, it makes sense that Royal Caribbean offers several different beverage packages to bundle drink purchases while onboard (and across the cruise line’s private islands).

Onboard Activities/Entertainment on Royal Caribbean

When it comes to head-turning attractions and cutting-edge entertainment, few cruise lines rival the onboard offerings of Royal Caribbean. Pioneers of such activities as sky diving and ice skating at sea, Royal likes to push the boundaries of what’s possible aboard a cruise ship.

Apart from pools, arcades, mini golf, and deck parties, families can be on the lookout for escape rooms, performances in the Royal Theater, AquaTheater, and Studio B ice rink depending on the vessel, and so much more. If there’s one thing that a Royal Caribbean vacation guarantees, it’s that no one in your party will be bored.

Some of the signature entertainment options do require reservations (mostly on Quantum and Oasis Class ships). These reservations can be made pre-cruise using the online cruise planner or once onboard the ship.
