travel and seek It’s exactly what we love about the cruise ship: smaller, comfortable and traditionally decorated with an atmosphere on board, which is all about the personal interaction of the passengers, not the striking head. Like all the ships originally made for Renaissance cruises, they are more boutique hotels than the Vegas resorts, decoratively back to the golden age of the ocean liner – all warm woods, rich fabrics, rich fabrics and intimate public places for the club. When celebrities and the Royal Caribbean took over the vessels, they invested nearly $40 million in a major renovation, winding the walls around some cabin decks, creating 32 new suites on each ship; designing new professional restaurants; expanding the spa; adding a cafe; and installing new art collections, decks, carpets, paint schemes, bedding, mats, curtains, table linens and other software. The result is a lovely pair of almost new looking ships with only a few dents in the cabin corridor (provided by luggage cart), betrayed the fact that they have been serving for over a decade.

cabin travel and seek It is divided into only seven configurations. Standard interior (158 square feet), Oceanview (143-170 square feet) and Oceanview Club Veranda Cabins (175 square feet, plus balcony) are nearly the same in amenities. Each has a living area with a sofa bed and a small table, a flat-screen TV, a miniature and writing table. Closet space is only suitable for long trips for these boats sailing, although the large amount of drawers and storage space under the bed helps a little. The bathroom is on the tight side, with a small shower stall and awkwardly tilted toilets and comes with Elemis bathroom products. The cabin is low-key with off-white walls, wooden furniture and headboards on the walls, as well as interiors and carpets finished in easy-to-fill blue and gold. More than half of the boat is Oceanview Club Veranda Cabins, each cabin has a 40 square foot balcony. The balcony cottages at sunset face the bow or stern.

Club Continental Suite (266 sq ft, plus balcony), greatly adds your elbow room and has amenities like 60 sq ft balconies, bathroom tub and DVD/CD player. Club Ocean Suite (430-508 sq ft, plus balcony) and Club World Owner Suite (560 sq ft, plus balcony) have separate bedrooms and living rooms, master bathroom with whirlpool tub and shower, a guest bathroom, a spacious bathroom, large 220 ft spacious balcony next to sunlight, and a self-suite with van nation a Plantes a Plans a pransing nation a Plante a pransion a prosherity.

The four cabins on each ship have wheelchair access.

One night travel‘sand seekIdeally, the main restaurant is a two-step process. First, you set the time to meet your friends at the plank bar outside Maitre D station. Set under the Sistine Chapel-style ceiling fresco, there is a chunky semicircular bar with sofas and cozy armchairs with artificial fireplace and Curio cabinets that separate the bar area from the dining room itself. Next, grab a table for supper, preferably in the middle part of the room, where they seem to be wider than the outer table. In terms of decor, the room can continue the overall country club feel on board, with Romanesque paintings, dark wood paneling, decorative columns and understated interiors. The table can accommodate 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 people.

At the stern of the boat on deck 10, each boat’s two specialty restaurants sit side by side, allowing for views from almost every table. The Aqualina is decorated with Mediterranean sensitivity that can match its menu and comes with polished black tile floors and color schemes that favor white and blue. Next door, Prime C is a thorough steakhouse. At the entrance, the wooden bar area is dominated by 14 high tables where wine and wine seminars were held. Four tables occupy the rest of the C-shaped dining room.

On Deck 9, Windows Cafe is a standard buffet restaurant with some non-standard features. For breakfast, you can get freshly made veggies/juices or sophisticated smoothies from the Healthy Nut Juice Bar, as well as fresh pancakes and waffles from dedicated windows to the buffet line. For dinner, the space offers sushi and custom pasta dishes, as well as a spread of favorites. Seats can be provided both inside and outside. On the pool deck, grills spice on the usual burger and dog menu, served with salad, seafood shish kabobs, gyroscopes, hot pretzels and cornflakes.

The public rooms on these boats gather on decks 5, 9 and 10. On deck 5, the cabaret space can accommodate about half of the passengers. It has no stage of improvement, so by definition, the work is displayed on the floor. Except for the semicircular banquet that raised the room slightly from the main building, all seats sat on comfortable chairs with cocktail tables scattered on them. The best seating in the house is the high table in the center of the rear pole area, between two spotlights and a little later. In addition to making shows, the room is used for late-night movies, bingo and other events. Going to the medium-sized boat, there is a relatively large casino with a large screen TV in one corner for sports events; the boat’s two low-key retail stores; the café is a warm and tempting space with snacks 18 hours a day, as well as free specialty coffee and tea. Harpists and pianists perform here regularly throughout the day.

Deck 9 is mainly given to buffet restaurants, pools and spas, but hidden in a corner is the internet center and small meeting rooms.

In front of the deck 10, the look of glass disco/view lounge features wrap-around floor-to-ceiling windows, a dance floor and cocktail table that can accommodate two and four but set in a large but still comfortable private space. On the medium boat, the combined library and piano lounge maintain the feeling of a quiet gentleman’s club with dark wood bookcases and wall paneling, velvet sofas, leather armchairs, oriental patterned carpets, a chess board, a globe that shows the world. Artificial fireplace, racing ceramics and one trompe l’oeil Music ceiling finished picture. Afternoon tea is provided here every day.

The pool deck has a small pool, two hot tubs, a small performance stage and a bar, and some of the best deck chairs we’ve ever seen – heavy, wooden, wearing thick navy blue cushions with back pillows. At the rear port, a covered seating area has a double-wide deck lounge for couples. On warm days at sea, the pool deck will get very crowded, but a little walk (not much – these are small boats) will purify less crowded lounge chairs on the sun deck, both levels rise. There is also a lovely half moon sun space and a hot tub in the gym and spa. Shadow worshipers can head to the promenade deck, filled with those same deck chairs set in a dangling area that has little traffic.

Located in front of the pool deck, the gym features a treadmill, fixed bikes, elliptical trainer, dumbbells, weight machine and large aerobic floor. Although the space is not large, it is enough to fit relatively few passengers on board. On our last cruise, it had only once crowded. There is no extra fee for giving Pilates, spin, stretch, abdomen and yoga classes throughout the tour. Next door is a beauty salon; the spa offers treatment in several pleasant rooms; and a kit for acupuncture, laser hair removal and micro-graining.

There is a table tennis table in one corner of the pool deck, and stern boards and small golf green are found on the sun deck.
