Royal Caribbean International, also known as RCI, is the largest international cruise line. Since 1997, the company is a member of the Royal Caribbean Group. It was established in Norway in 1968. The company was previously the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. It boasts a variety of amenities and destinations, which is surprising considering its name.

Ships

Royal Caribbean operates some of the largest cruise ships in the world. Oasis-class ships from Royal Caribbean, which first debuted in 2009 are architectural marvels. These ships can accommodate as many as 7,080 passengers, and up to 2,100 crew members. There are seven themed areas onboard, including Central Park, Boardwalk and Royal Promenade. The company also has twelve other ships capable of carrying more than 5,000 people.

Itineraries

Royal Caribbean offers several international cruise options that will fit your requirements. They sail from more than 70 cities across the globe and on six continents. They also offer shore excursions. They also depart from many ports around the United States. Cruises can be as short as two nights, or as long as 19 day.

Amenities

A cruise ship is often pictured as a floating city with bars, shops, and dining options. The cruise line may offer ice skating rinks and water parks as well as other adult-themed activities. Some cruise lines also offer room service and pizza delivery.

There are many dining options

Royal Caribbean cruises have many dining options. Some of these include traditional seating with assigned seating, while others offer first-come-first-served dining. Most ships have large dining rooms that can be used as banquet areas. Some cruise ships have more than one of these areas while smaller ships may have only one.

Extra-charged restaurants

Royal Caribbean offers 12 additional-cost eateries on its ships. Most of these restaurants are located in the main dining room, while a select few have specialties that aren't included in the standard cruise fare. Those specialty eateries are usually open only for dinner, although there are some that are open for lunch on sea days.

Programmes for kids

Royal Caribbean has many kids' programs available for all ages. The Explorers program for children six to eight years old is full of science activities and hands-on experiments. They will learn about meteorology and fossils, and can even perform controlled test tube eruptions.

These are the things that you must remember when traveling.

Traveling is a time when you are often faced with situations that require quick decisions. It's okay to be spontaneous.

Sometimes you might find yourself stuck for days, weeks or months. If you've planned ahead, you'll have food, water, shelter, and a place to sleep. You may need to improvise if you don't plan ahead.

In these situations, you will probably need to rely upon what you know best. You will have to rely on your instincts and experience to make quick decisions.

Sometimes you don't have a choice. You might find yourself in an area without cell service, out of gas or robbed. In these cases, you will have to adapt quickly and respond to any situation.

It is important to remain calm, keep your eyes on the prize and be decisive. Don't panic. Instead, be calm and focus on what you can do.

For example, if you're lost in the woods, you can choose which direction to go. If you feel hungry, you have the option to eat berries or mushroom. Rainwater can be drank or snowmelt.

Rest if your tired. You can wrap up if you're cold. If you get wet, you can put on clothes. Whatever you decide, you'll feel better if you stay positive.

Are you concerned about what you might lose when you travel?

Yes, I often forget stuff. This is most common on short trips. Fortunately, I always have everything, so I never run short of things.

For instance, I always carry my passport with me. When I purchase tickets, I make sure I have enough cash.

Also, I always take my phone charger. Also, I have a small bag that I store my other items in.
