The World At Sea; Royal Caribbean International Stages World Class Entertainment
The pleasure of cruising has always been in visiting different destinations, of being able to experience a number of cultures, histories and cities, at leisure and in comfort. However, with the accessibility of cruising to more travellers, Royal Caribbean International has twisted this concept by innovating and creating the ultimate onboard entertainment experience that caters for every possible taste.
Apart from the casual and fine dining experiences including more than 20 restaurants on every ship, adventurous activities that starts with the tallest slide at sea, Ultimate Abyss®, to the FlowRider® surf simulators and many more, as well as the latest technology from the robot mixologists at Bionic Bar to the virtual balconies and Voom the fastest internet at seas; Royal Caribbean has invested heavily in new technologies, new entertainment, theatre performances and shows.
Being the only cruise line with tony award®-winning broadway shows that boasts many spectacular Broadway-inspired performances, such as Grease, Mamma Mia and CATS, Royal Caribbean places a premium on world-class entertainment. Royal Caribbean has also made a name for itself with the high-diving shows on its Oasis Class ships that are held in the Aquatheater; an outdoor amphitheater, which features acrobatic and high diving stunts in the largest and deepest freshwater pool at sea. While all Royal Caribbean’s ships have a skating rink, each ship has its own unique ice skating show, which matches incredible ice skating performances with music and a loose story line. These shows are not only a means to see some very talented skaters perform some of the most difficult ice skating moves, there is also a great story to enjoy.
When it comes to comedians and magicians, the cruises offer family-friendly and adult-oriented shows onboard. These performers put on their act to augment the regular entertainment line-up and can offer something a little different than stage productions. In addition to that, Royal Caribbean’s entertainment staff will host their own live shows onboard, including fan-favorites such as the Love and Marriage Game Show, Battle of the Sexes, The Quest, and more. These shows involve select members of the audience and have been a staple of the cruise industry for years.
Another popular activity is showing multiple films each day of the cruise, usually on the large screen by the pool. On the larger Royal Caribbean’s ships, there are even 3D films shown in the Royal Theater for no additional cost. Regardless of venue, these films can be the perfect way to finally see that new movie you have been meaning to watch, or a fun movie to see again while you enjoy a swim. If the common idea about fun is attached to live music, then Royal Caribbean’s ships are the ultimate fun, with many different live musical opportunities around the ship, appealing to different styles of music such as Guitar sing alongs at the pub, salsa dancing in lounge, DJ spinning by the pool, and more.
Younger travelers will find lots for them to do onboard as well. Royal Caribbean has significantly invested in the dedicated space and entertainment options for the under 18 ages set over the last decade or so. Children 3 to 11 years old have daily programming provided for them in the Adventure Ocean program. Kids can join many classes, parties and activities offered each day of the cruise. DreamWorks Experience is a new feature, where kids can meet their favorite characters from Madagascar and Shrek, watch 3D movies, and enjoy themed breakfasts and parades. While Teenagers have their own rooms onboard to hang out, play games, listen to music, or whatever it is teenagers enjoy doing.
