Cruising has always been synonymous with luxury, glamour, and adventure.

Year after year, this billion-dollar industry continues to attract an increasing number of people. There is not even the smallest hint of the cruising trend slowing down.

Retirees, honeymooners, teenagers, families, celebrities, solo travelers: people from all walks of life find their way together in a pimped up ship just for the thrill of it even though cruising comes at a hefty price tag. From the costly booking to the exorbitant onboard food and beverage, there is no end in sight to spending while on a cruise.

Or is there?

11 Play Indiana Jones As You Find The Ship's Small Wonders Art Display

According to royalcaribbeanblog, there are 42 amazing "Small Wonders" art pieces hidden in plain sight all over the ship.

These are 3-D art objects embedded inside the ship's many telescope- and periscope-looking displays. Do the hunt and find out how your detective skills fare compared to other passengers.

10 Let Sky Pad Transport You To Another World

Not only does Royal Caribbean have 3-D art pieces onboard. They have virtual reality and augmented reality technology, too. That's right.

The Sky Pad is another first for Royal Caribbean ships. The fun begins the moment you start jumping on a trampoline with the virtual reality (VR) headset on.

9 Rock Wall Climbing On The High Seas Makes Perfect Sense

Miniature art pieces. Check! Onboard surfing. Check! Virtual reality technology. Check! Rock climbing wall. Check!

Right again. This is one of the Royal Caribbean's outdoor fun activities that you might want to do again and again. Warning! This is very addicting. Each step up offers a different stunning view.

8 Gadget's Battery Low? USB Charging Stations To The Rescue

Because there is an Instagram-worthy view wherever you are in a Royal Caribbean ship, it is just normal to have a frequent need to charge up your gadgets' batteries from taking a lot of pictures.

Don't worry, because Royal Caribbean ships have USB charging stations in the right places.

7 Playing While Sailing? See You At The Sports Court

Life at sea can become monotonous at times. Don't fret just yet because Royal Caribbean offers a lot of free things to do while at sea.

If your idea of cruising fun is limited indoors, it's high time to swap your pajamas for sports shorts and hit the outdoor sports court.

6 SeaPlex: Royal Caribbean's Sports Complex

Cruise ships are built with one thing in mind: pleasure. Royal Caribbean stands true to this.

If you miss out on any outdoor activity because unfavorable weather steps in and spoils your day, there is always an indoor sports complex called SeaPlex for you to have fun.

5 Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth With The Mouth-Watering Self-Serve Cold Treats Onboard

Are you in for a cold treat? Perfect! Grab a drinking cup somewhere (we know that a cone can't contain enough), find a soft-serve ice cream station (usually situated within pool areas), and be generous to yourself.

A cup-full of ice cream is way better than just a cone-full, anyway.

4 Fitness Class While At Sea Keeps Your Carbs Away

As you already know, Royal Caribbean never runs out of fun ideas.

If you feel that all those bar-hopping and carb-bombing on sea days have made your jeans look one size smaller than they did before starting your cruise, getting in an onboard fitness class is never a spoiler move.

3 Give Your Extra Carbs A Smack On The Jogging Track

And if by any chance your Zumba dancing skills have fallen short in shaking those extra carbs away, a round or two on the ship's jogging track will probably do the trick.

Put on your sneakers and win some friends over while you slowly burn those dogged fats away.

2 Let RipCord Fulfill Your Dream Of Flying While Sailing

Do you love skydiving but feel haunted by the fact that some parachutes fail to open until it is too late? Then RipCord is your thing.

This skydiving simulator gives you all the thrills of skydiving without leaving the ground, or the ship for this matter. You've got to try it.

1 Wines And Cocktails At Art Auctions And Welcome Parties

Wines and cocktails! The best part, indeed. You've got to thank Royal Caribbean for this. Every cruise is not complete without a "Welcome Aboard" program and onboard art auctions.

The highlight of these events, of course, is the free cocktails and wines. What a warm way to complement your vacay.
