About this trip
What a Royal Caribbean Cruise trip looks like
These are the largest passenger ships in service, and the ship really is the attraction: climbing walls, surf simulators, ice rinks, full-scale theatre. On a week-long sailing you will not exhaust it.
Which ship matters as much as which route. The newest classes have facilities the older ones do not, and two sailings on the same itinerary can be quite different holidays. We name the ship in the quote, not just the route.
Balcony cabins are worth more here than on a short sailing, because sea days are a bigger share of the week. Inside cabins on the newer ships have a virtual balcony, which is a reasonable middle option.

Where you actually go
The ship
The largest passenger ships in service: a week aboard will not exhaust one.
Sports decks
Climbing walls, surf simulators and zip lines, included in the fare.
Ice and aqua theatre
Full ice shows and high-diving productions, booked on the first day because they fill.
Sea days
No port at all, and a bigger share of a long sailing than of a short one.
Port calls
A day ashore at each, with excursions bookable per port alongside the fare.
Speciality dining
Charged on board, and worth reserving on embarkation day rather than later.
Cabin categories
Inside, virtual balcony, ocean-view, balcony and suite, the virtual balcony being a fair middle option.
Private island
Some routes include the line’s own island, with its own beaches and waterpark.
The Promenade
An interior street running the length of the ship, with shops, bars and parades through it.
Which ship
As big a decision as the route: the newest classes carry facilities the older ones do not.

Before you ask
Everything you might want to know
Are the prices per person?+
We quote per person on twin sharing, and we quote per enquiry rather than publishing a rate. Prices move with your travel dates, the cabin category and availability on the day you book. A published number would be wrong for most people who read it.
Can I change the cabin or the sailing?+
Yes, up to the point of booking. Tell us what you want changed (a different cabin category, a different deck, an earlier or later sailing) and we requote it before anything is confirmed.
Is the visa included?+
It depends on the embarkation country and every port the sailing calls at. We confirm the full set for your specific sailing and passport before you pay anything.
When is the best time to go?+
Year round, by region: the Caribbean, the Mediterranean and Asia sail in different months. Travelling outside that window is usually cheaper, and we will tell you honestly what you would be trading away.
What do you need to confirm the booking?+
[Advance amount, the documents required and when the balance falls due — to confirm before launch.]
What is your cancellation policy?+
It depends on how far ahead you cancel and on what the hotels and operators in your itinerary allow. The scale that applies to your booking is set out in your quote before you pay. [Standard terms — to confirm before launch.]
How soon do I get the itinerary?+
[Usual turnaround — to confirm. Typically the same working day on WhatsApp.]

Nothing here is a fixed departure. Change the hotel, drop a night, add a city, travel on different dates. Tell us what you want and we rebuild the itinerary. The person who sends the quote is the person who books the hotel.
