3. Enjoy stress-free planning and travelling between destinations
Embarking on a vacation with Royal Caribbean lets you enjoy a pleasurable experience even before stepping foot onto the ship. No need to decide on the nitty-gritty details of what to do or what to eat when you’re on board — Royal Caribbean lets you book onboard activities, dining packages, shore excursion packages, and more in advance through their website. Once on board, all that’s left for you to do is unwind, relish the ship’s offerings, and explore beyond.
Bond over fresh experiences with your loved ones.
Speaking of things to do, you can also pick and choose all the attractions you want to try out in advance. There are activities lined up everyday onboard the ship. You just have to use the Royal App where you can see the activities’ schedules daily and choose which ones you’d like to join.
Beyond the ship, travelling from country to country will be a smooth sailing ride. You don’t have to worry about logistic problems such as booking different hotels in each country and lugging your luggage from place to place. You can simply leave your belongings onboard and feel more at ease while you travel on your own or with your family and loved ones.
If you’d like to lessen your stress over the specific details of your itinerary outside the ship, go for a shore excursion package from Royal Caribbean. You’ll get to experience for yourself the wonderful cruise destinations mentioned above without having to worry about every activity. But if you’d like to be more spontaneous, you can also opt to go on your own tour and wander and explore to your heart’s content.
A few things to remember before going on a fly cruise with Royal Caribbean
