When talking about cruises, many people imagine long trips across the ocean for weeks. However, there is a perfect alternative for those who want a maritime experience without compromising too much time: short cruises. These 3-5 day-long escapades offer all the charm, luxury, and adventure that a traditional cruise has, but with a more accessible and dynamic focus.

Short and simple cruises have become more popular among couples, friend groups, and families looking for a quick rest without long journeys or complicated itineraries. From weekend getaways to short vacations during the week, these experiences offer an ideal solution to disconnect and reconnect with the sea.

In Royal at Sea with Royal Holiday, you’ll find options planned to adapt to your lifestyle. The best thing is that you don’t have to be a navigation expert or plan months in advance. Starting in accessible ports and with routes that cover emblematic destinations in the Caribbean, the United States, and Latin America, it is possible to have an unforgettable trip in only a few days.

 

 

 

 

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM SHORT CRUISES?

Although time is reduced, the experience is anything but limited. On board a Royal at Sea cruise you can enjoy international gastronomy, spectacles, pools, bars, kids’ activities, spa, and more. All-inclusive and with a quality service that distinguishes Royal Holiday.

Additionally, by taking more direct routes and closer destinations, it is common to visit only one or two key stops, which allows you to leave the boat, explore, and come back without hurrying. From paradisiac beaches to vibrant port cities, each itinerary is designed to make the most of every minute. If it’s your first cruise trip, here’s a guide.

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: 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.

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

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: 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.

10 cruising tips

by Royal Holiday January 8, 2019
written by Royal Holiday

Are you about to take a cruise? Fabulous! It is one of the most exciting and spectacular vacation experiences to be had.

That’s why we’re offering these tips: read them over, and put them into practice to get the most out of your vacation at sea. Ready?

Here we go:

 

1. Familiarize yourself with the ship

That way you won’t get lost, and check out every nook and cranny of the giant you’re sailing the high seas on.

 

2. Your card, the key to everything

 

Once you have boarded, you will be given a card. Keep it with you at all times, because not only is it the key to your cabin, but you will need it throughout the cruise for numerous activities and shops.

 

3. Smile

Your smile is the best introduction on land as well as at sea.

 

4. Sharing space

Try to be considerate during your cruise by not slamming doors, stomping your feet or shouting in the hallways. Act the way you would like others to act around you.

 

5. Dressing for the occasion

You wouldn’t wear a tuxedo to the swimming pool or a bathing suit to a formal dinner. Pay attention to the way you dress; use common sense.

 

6. Nothing in excess, everything in moderation!

Don’t go overboard with food and drinks, especially the latter. Keep in mind that the term “all inclusive” means not going “overboard”.

 

7. Above all, discretion

If you have an issue concerning something that happens on board, discuss it privately with ship staff members or the customer service department; do not do it publicly.

 

8. Casinos

Here you do need to have cash, since these places are not part of the All-Inclusive service.

 

9. Make sure the ship doesn’t leave you behind!

Punctuality is the key for events on board, as well as side trips you take on land. You must get back on time or you could be left stranded at the port.

 

10. Above all, respect

By following the rules for each area on the ship, you will stay on a perfectly even keel with staff and fellow guests.

Now you know! Apply these ten tips on your next cruise, and have a fabulous vacation.

Happy sailing!
