What You Can See on a Royal Caribbean Cruise
Royal Caribbean cruise lines are already well-known for their fleet of luxury vessels, grouped into six ship classes: Oasis, Freedom, Voyager, Radiance, Vision and Sovereign. According to the length of the cruise, or to its popularity, you can go with one or other class of ships. A very popular destination would require a bigger class of ships, because of the need to accommodate more passengers. However, rest assured that even small ships have all the comfort and luxury to make you feel like in heaven.
Here you can find a few cruises available from Royal Caribbean, so you can see for yourself what you can do and what you can see in such a cruise:
7 Night Southern Caribbean Cruise (San Juan Round-Trip)
Served by the ship called Serenade of the Seas, this Royal cruise is taking you to the following ports of destination: San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; St. John’s, Antigua; Castries, St. Lucia; Bridgetown, Barbados; San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The prices go from $549 if you choose to stay in a cabin with inside view, to $649 for ocean view, to $799 if you want to have a balcony, up to $1399 if you want to book a suite. What vacation do you think you can have anywhere on land for this kind of money? I think such cruises are really an alternative to classical vacations in resorts on land.
There’s another 7 days Royal cruise which takes you in a San Juan round-trip, served by another ship, Adventure of the Seas, which stops in the following ports: San Juan, Puerto Rico; Aruba, Dutch Caribbean; Willemstad, Curacao; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; San Juan, Puerto Rico. For this one, prices are lower, the inside view place in the cabin being $449 and the suite $899.
7 Night Eastern Caribbean Cruises
These cruises can either be Miami round-trip or Orlando round-trip. The Miami one is using the Liberty of the Seas ship, while the Orlando cruise is using Mariner of the Seas.
The ports of call in the first case of Royal cruise are: Miami, Florida; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; Labadee, Hispaniola, Haiti; Miami, Florida.
For the Orlando round-trip cruise, the ports of call are: Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida; CocoCay, Bahamas; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida.
Here I have to mention that CocoCay in Bahamas and Labadee in Haiti are two exclusive destinations of Royal Caribbean company, and I heard only great things about both of them.
6 Night Western Caribbean Cruise (Ft. Lauderdale Round-Trip)
Starting from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, this cruise takes you to Belize City, Belize, then to Costa Maya, then to Cozumel, both in Mexico, then it ships you back to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for a 6 night round trip. Independence of the Seas is the ship which serves this cruise line. The prices are in the same range with the others mentioned above and they include port charges. Other fees and taxes may apply.
If your time is limited, or you have a tighter budget, you can go for instance on the 4 nights Bahamas Miami round-trip cruise, with the refurbished ship Majesty of the Seas, where the most expensive place is $649 and the cheapest is $129. This is less that one weekend in the mountains, at least in the place where I live.
I’ve given you only a few examples here, but you can choose among several hundreds of cruises, so we can safely say that there’s a Royal cruise for everybody.
