On Board But Never Bored Imagine yourself on your Royal Caribbean International cruise. You expected to be sun bathing or losing yourself in the latest novel.Bet you didn't expect to be ice skating or rock climbing in the middle of the Med!
The fact is that for many people, the perfect vacation is packed with a whole host of activities, and you might be surprised to learn just how active a relaxing cruise can be.
Royal Caribbean International has fitted rock climbing walls on all ships, and anyone aged 6 and over is welcome to have a go. Equally suited to beginners or experienced climbers, the ascent is a variety of emotions, ending in delight when you get that fantastic view out across the sea, 200 feet below you.
Maybe golf is more your scene. If your putting drives you up the wall, you might be interested to know that industry figures suggest 10% of all passengers take golf lessons while cruising. No surprise then that most Royal Caribbean International cruise ships feature golf simulators and 9 hole small scale courses or 18 hole miniature golf courses.
But if golf leaves you cold, how about ice skating. All Royal Caribbean International Voyager and Freedom Family ships have an onboard ice rink, and for those who think ice should stay in a glass, there are roller skating tracks on Voyager and Radiance class ships, as well as volley ball and basketball courts.
Add jogging tracks, table tennis, shuffleboard, spas, dance classes, swimming pools, and world class gyms, and you start to appreciate just how much there is to do. Of course the range of excursion activities is huge too, as well as separate programmes for children of all ages.
So if you just want to lie back and let the world go by, that's fine. But if you want to keep busy on holiday, Royal Caribbean Internatinal would be perfect for you. Way more than just a cruise.
Royal Caribbean International have a great selection of cruises this summer to suit everyone.
