As you can see in the videos on my squidoo lens, the daytime activities aboard Royal Caribbean ships are amazingly active. Every Royal Caribbean ship has a rock-climbing wall; many of them have mini-golf courses. Swimming pools are standard and there are even spa and fitness facilities. You'll find ice-skating and roller-skating on some ships.

Royal Caribbean International is of course strong in the Caribbean, but offers cruises in the whole world. Bermuda, Caribbean, Bahamas, the Mexican Riviera and even Alaska and Europe. They recently added Australia and New Zealand to the possibilities. The passengers are North Americans between 30 and 55 on the shorter cruises, and over 50 on the longer cruises. Cruises departing from Europe will obviously attract more European passengers. The shorter cruises are also very popular with families, especially during American school vacation!

Special parties are organized on every trip, like the popular Meet&Mingle Parties, organized together with CruiseCritic (source: Douglas Newman)
