Here, we’ll tell you the 9 benefits of going on a cruise that will give you the best experience.

1. GREAT VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY

Cruises

Once you pay for your cruise, you don’t have to open your wallet again during the trip unless you want to buy specific things. The rest of your trip is already covered. Isn’t it great?

2. THE CABINS ARE LARGER NOW

Cruises

Nowadays all the cabins offer wide and comfortable spaces, of course, there are some bigger than others, but most of them offer great comfort that you’ll be able to enjoy during your trip. However, with all the wonders of the cruise, you’ll only come back to your room to sleep.

3. THE BEST WAY TO TRAVEL TO THE CARIBBEAN

Visit Royal at Sea, the cruise program for Royal Holiday members, and learn about all the traveling offers and what the All-Inclusive plan includes with every traveling schedule.

5. GREAT VARIETY OF DESTINATIONS

Cruises

Instead of being in the same city in the same hotel, wake up and start your thrilling day in a new destination. The cruces of the Royal at Sea program will make you fall in love with its different Caribbean routes, the Mediterranean, Transatlantic, Baltic, Europe, South America, and Alaska, among others.

6. ENDLESS ADVENTURES

Cruises

You’ll be able to pick your own adventure depending on the destination that you go to; from walking through glaciers and admiring the snowy mountains, to scuba diving in the beautiful turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Traveling on a cruise opens hundreds of opportunities for you.

7. GET ALL THE SERVICES YOU MIGHT NEED

CRUISE

Nothing compares to the individual and personalized attention that you will get on a cruise. The waiters will anticipate your wishes and remember your order and your special needs and your cabin will always be clean.

Cruise ship trends 2020: more passengers and additional routes

by Royal Holiday January 19, 2020

written by Royal Holiday

Cruise ships trends for 2020 are focused on having more passengers living the fascinating experience of this way of traveling.

According to the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), which brings together the most important shipping companies in the world, 32 million people will take a cruise next year.

Almost half of them will come from North America (14.24 million), followed by travelers from Western Europe (6.73 million); Asia (4.24 million); and Australia-Pacific region (1.46 million).

For that reason, shipping companies are proposing diverse and fascinating routes to provide tourists with a greater variety of options.

There is already an option called “micro-cruising”, which are trips of three to five days whose target audience is tourists who have little time available, but are willing to embark on this adventure.

The Association foresees that in 2020, the interest of travelers will grow in respecting local culture and diversifying excursions, so routes with longer stopovers are already being considered to visit the destinations extensively.

An increase in the number of single travelers is also forecasted, so some companies have already removed the surcharges for traveling without unaccompanied in a double occupancy cabin, as well as the inclusion of studio-type cabins, and other amenities for this type of tourist.

Cruise Ships Trends 2020: Greener Ships

If you are a traveler who is also concerned about the environment, CLIA points out that the sector will invest over USD$20 billion to promote clean technologies and reduce emissions by 40%.

They plan to accomplish that by using more environmentally friendly fuels such as natural gas, and with hybrid exhaust gas cleaning technology, which reduce polluting particles by half.

As a Royal Holiday member, you can enjoy the benefits of “Royal at Sea”, where you can book using your vacation points, cabins on fabulous cruise ships routes.

What about a 4-night trip through the Caribbean? You can do it aboard the Carnival Conquest. Departure is from Miami, Florida, on March 23, 2020.

Otherwise, if you want to experience postcard snowy landscapes, we recommend the 7-night Alaska route on board the Koningsdam ship from Holland Cruises. Departure is from Vancouver on May 2, 2020. https://www.royal-holiday.com/es/cruceros/1269-alaska-7-noches

Cruise Travel Tips

Getting married on a cruise ship: party and honeymoon in the same trip

by Royal Holiday November 18, 2019

written by Royal Holiday

Getting married on a cruise can be a fun and memorable experience for both the bride and groom, and the guests, as the celebration begins from the moment you get on board the ship and goes on until you descend at the final destination.

It is rather original, and certainly almost none of the guests would have attended one before, so that moment will be unique for the couple and for everyone else.

To perform a ceremony of this kind, there are several elements that must be considered for the experience to be as or better than planned.

For starters, like many resorts, shipping companies have wedding planners who will really do a lot for you. They will explain to you the available packages, and also some cruise lines even offer free wedding websites to keep your guests updated and organized.

A wedding aboard a cruise ship is intended for few attendees, so guest lists are usually much narrowed than a regular wedding. Although there are a variety of accessories that you can select to make the ceremony more lavish, the recommendation is to choose the basics because the experience is so great that it does not require more decorations.

Getting married on a cruise ship:

Getting married on a cruise ship: pros and cons

Pros

The ceremony begins on the ship and the honeymoon immediately afterwards, at the next port
A wedding planner who in fact, does everything for you
Meals and lodging included. Newlyweds can stay in a special suite for honeymooners and guests, in comfortable but simpler cabins.

Cons

The weather can be a downside if you are considering a ceremony on the deck. Either way it is recommended to check other options, and even be willing to change plans
Getting married at high seas or in a foreign country may require some paperwork in advance, but the wedding planner should alert you about that. Another option is to perform the civil wedding in your hometown, and a representative ceremony on the cruise ship
Some guests or yourself may experience some dizziness, but it is completely avoidable by taking a pill or a soda before setting sail

Whether the wedding is on the beach or under an iceberg in Alaska, the experience will be unforgettable. You can even plan something super emblematic, with your partner only. Learn about the routes and shipping companies available for Royal Holiday members and discuss with your holiday advisor to find out the options you may have.

Cruise Royal at Sea

Harmony of the Seas, the largest cruise ship in the world

by Royal Holiday October 20, 2019

written by Royal Holiday

The Harmony of the Seas is, officially, the largest cruise ship in the world. The gross registered tonnage is 227 thousand tons; with a capacity of 6,780 guests overall and 2,100 members in the crew.

Her first journey was in May 2016, on a pre-inaugural route departing from Southampton, England.

The Royal Caribbean shipping company has held the certificate of the world’s largest cruise ships for several years, and their ships surpass themselves and set a new record. The Harmony of the Seas took the top place from the Allure of the Seas, a ship that in 2010 displaced the Oasis of the Seas, also belonging to that company.

The Harmony of The Seas is a cruise ship belonging to the Oasis-class that offers a “residential paradise of seven neighborhoods”. She covers several routes, all of them in an atmosphere full of luxury, fun and security. The minimum age to go onboard is 21.

harmony of the seas royal holiday 2

Harmony of the Seas: total fun

There is absolute fun aboard the Harmony of The Seas, as it offers endless and spectacular attractions such as the Ultimate Abyss, a slide that takes you down from the top of the cruise ship in just 12 seconds.

You can also ‘fly’ fast above nine decks, over 25 meters above sea level on the Boardwalk Zipline, or climb a 12-meter high Rock Wall, defying gravity.

Inside the ship, the fun continues with impressive Broadway-style plays, live orchestra in the main theater and casinos available to all passengers.

You can also try the Rubicon challenge with your friends or family, a room full of puzzles where you only have 60 minutes to escape.

And to relax after having so much fun, the cruise ship has a first-class Spa and gym with state-of-the-art technology.

As a Royal Holiday member, you can sail through the Caribbean aboard this impressive cruise ship. The “Eastern Caribbean” route takes you from Port Canaveral in Florida, to Phillipsburg, St. Maarten, San Juan, Puerto Rico and to Coco Cay in the Bahamas.

This fascinating cruise ship is waiting for you, pack your bags and plan your next vacation.

Destination Tips

The Ups and Downs of Seasickness

by Royal Holiday August 11, 2019

written by Royal Holiday

Here’s an interesting bit of trivia: the terms “nautical” and “nausea” come from the same ancient Greek word for “ship,” and for good reason.

For many cruisers, motion sickness is an unfortunate nuisance. To combat this unpleasantness, modern ocean-going cruise vessels are usually only piloted in relatively calm waters. These ships are also outfitted with stabilizing fins that eliminate up to 85 percent of the ship’s side-to-side rolling motions. Despite these features, some passengers are simply very sensitive to a ship’s gentle rocking. As a result, they experience the headaches, sweating, and upset stomach commonly associated with seasickness.

Fortunately, with a little preparation, most cruisers can reduce their chances of feeling ill during an ocean voyage.

Booking

People who are especially vulnerable to motion sickness may find it wise simply to book cruises that have plenty of days in port. Certain itineraries also sail in especially calm waters. For example, Mediterranean cruises around the beginning of summer and Caribbean sailings outside the hurricane season generally encounter placid seas.

Choosing the right cabin can also help. A centrally located stateroom with a window allows a passenger to see outside and maintain balance. A balcony provides fresh air that can quickly calm a bout of queasiness or cool down a sweating spell.

Remedies

There are plenty of over-the-counter medicines available to help with motion sickness. A quick chat with a pharmacist will help any cruiser choose the right one. For those prone to more stubborn cases of seasickness, there are also prescription medications available through a doctor.

Many cruisers prefer natural, drug-free remedies. Special acupressure bracelets are popular among many dedicated travelers to prevent motion sickness. In addition, many people use ginger pills to prevent nausea, while green apples, lightly flavored sodas, or crackers can help soothe mild cases of upset stomach.

Other Tips

Most passengers find that spending time in the fresh air on deck is a good defense against nausea. It also helps to avoid activities such as reading that force the head to remain still and focused close in. Instead, watching the distant, unmoving horizon helps maintain equilibrium.

Of course, the last thing an upset stomach needs is to be stuffed full of heavy food. For this reason, it’s generally a good idea to avoid overeating—no matter how tempting the day’s buffet is.
