Royal Caribbean

Why Royal Caribbean

Royal Caribbean has seven ship classes, more than two dozen ships, and many stateroom categories on each one. The difference between a good week and a frustrating one often comes down to those details — which ship, which deck, which location. That's the part I enjoy helping you sort out.

Tell me what you're looking for, and we can compare choices that fit your trip.

What I bring to a Royal Caribbean booking

• Nine Royal Caribbean sailings of my own. I've walked these ships, so the advice is firsthand rather than from a brochure.
• The Royal Caribbean Master of Adventure program. I've completed it, and it covers the fleet, the itineraries, and how to help travelers choose between them.
• Help with stateroom choices. Which locations suit your trip, and which categories are worth considering.
• Crown & Anchor Society. If you have status, tell me and we can make sure it's attached to your booking.

The fleet, by class

Ship class matters more than ship name — it determines the size, the layout and most of what there is to do onboard. Each one below has its own page.

Perfect Day at CocoCay

Royal Caribbean's private island in the Bahamas, and for a lot of families it ends up being the best day of the week. Some of it is included and some of it is extra, and I can help you work out which extras might be worth booking, and which can sell out ahead of time, before you sail.

When Royal Caribbean isn't the right answer

Sometimes it isn't, and I'll say so. If you want an adults-only week, a small ship that docks in tiny European ports, or an all-inclusive fare with no add-ons, another line may serve you better — and I can help with those too.
