Welcome aboard one of the many Royal Caribbean cruise ships, where every experience is a top priority for every crew member and director onboard. To perfect each adventure, whether it be to the Caribbean, Asian, Europe or elsewhere, passengers onboard each ship receives a relaxing and entertaining experience, filled with mouth-watering menus and refreshing cocktails and onboard entertainment.

There are some basic and standard activities that are still fun for the entire family, such as the pool, rock climbing, the spa, and the on-land excursions. But, there are other outlets of pleasure that are included and more extravagant, like Tony Award-winning Broadway musicals and Royal Caribbean original productions.

The most incredible word that can be used when purchasing a cruise vacation is the word free or complimentary. We wanted to clear up exactly what comes free and what does not during each Royal Caribbean cruise.

A Cabin To Rest, Relax And Recuperate

There are many varieties of cabins and suites on board any of the Royal Caribbean cruise ships. However, their availability and amenities vary based on the voyager's budget and needs. Unfortunately, all standard cabins hold a limit of four people, meaning any families of five or more or groups of friends that are sailing together, will need to add a conjoining room or upgrade their experience to a suite.

For the most part, all cabins come fully equipped with a standard queen-size bed, additional pull out cots or bunk beds, basic entertainment center and lavatory needs, such as showers and toilets. For an additional fee, some cabins may come with a window or a small balcony. Those with a balcony will also come with a standard couch facing the sliding balcony doors.

For those looking to indulge and make the most of their cabin experience, the Royal Suite Class has three different tier packages to choose from. There are lofts that offer a two-story experience, complete with a grand piano, living room, multiple bathrooms, and dining rooms. To make the most out of your family experience, the Ultimate Family Suite comes complete with an in-suite cinema, award-winning video games and consoles, an in-suite slide and rope climber to go up and down, various gaming tables and private living room.
