Ports of Call: The Caribbean's Most Popular Destinations
Royal Caribbean Cruises offer an array of ports of call in the Caribbean, each boasting its unique charm and attractions. From the stunning beaches of the Bahamas to the vibrant culture of Jamaica and the historic beauty of Puerto Rico, there is something for every traveler to enjoy. Explore the lush landscapes of St. Lucia, dive into the crystal-clear waters of Grand Cayman, or immerse yourself in the colorful markets of St. Thomas.
St. Kitts and St. Marteen are personally at the top of our list and we would love to help you see why. There are two beautiful islands that only Royal Caribbean has access to as well that helps tip the scales (Labadee, Haiti and CocoCay, Bahamas).
Onboard Amenities and Activities
Royal Caribbean is renowned for their onboard amenities and unending activities to cater to every guest's preference. Indulge in world-class dining experiences, relax by the poolside with a cocktail in hand, or unwind at the spa for a pampering session. For the adventurous souls, engage in thrilling activities such as rock climbing, zip-lining, skydiving or surfing simulators, bumper cars, waterslides and much more depending on the ship. Enjoy Broadway-style shows, live entertainment, and themed parties to ensure there's never a dull moment onboard.
Dining Options fit for Royalty
When it comes to dining onboard a Royal Caribbean cruise, prepare your taste buds for a royal treat. From elegant fine dining restaurants offering gourmet cuisine to casual eateries serving up comfort food favorites, there's a culinary delight for every palate. Indulge in multi-course meals prepared by top chefs, savor fresh seafood specialties, or sample exotic flavors from around the globe. Whether you prefer a romantic dinner for two or a lively meal with friends and family, the dining options onboard will exceed your expectations. Izumi hibachi, Giovannis Italian and Sabor Mexican are just a few our our favorites but you will find many, many amazing options on the newer ships!
Planning Your Excursions
Beyond the decadent dining experiences onboard a Royal Caribbean cruise, it's essential to plan your excursions wisely to make the most of your trip. Research the ports of call in advance (or use your dedicated travel agent!) and choose excursions that align with your interests. Exploring historic landmarks, enjoying water sports, snorkeling, or immersing yourself in the local culture are just some examples of the many possibilities. Consider booking your excursions through the cruise line for convenience and peace of mind, but also stay open to third party excursions as we have done before. Keep an eye out for unique experiences like zip-lining through lush rainforests, swimming with dolphins, or hiking to breathtaking viewpoints.
Making the Most of Your Royal Caribbean Cruise
To enhance your Royal Caribbean cruise experience, start by making reservations for specialty dining and onboard activities as soon as possible to secure your preferred options. You can typically book dining as soon as the day after you book the cruise once you create your account log in. Broadway shows and certain onboard activities can usually be booked 30-60 days prior to sailing on the Royal app or website.
Research the ship's entertainment schedule beforehand to plan your evenings accordingly. Utilize the cruise planner on the Royal app for easy access to daily schedules and booking excursions. While it's almost always cheaper to book beforehand in the cruise planner, take advantage of onboard promotions and discounts for spa treatments, Wi-Fi, shopping, and beverage packages if you missed out. Keep an open mind and be prepared to try new experiences to truly immerse yourself in the Royal Caribbean journey.

Setting sail on a Royal Caribbean cruise is a gateway to unforgettable experiences. By planning ahead and utilizing the resources available onboard, you can make the most of your journey. From indulging in specialty dining to exploring ports of call through exciting excursions, every moment offers a new adventure.
