Passengers can find a rock-climbing wall, pools and Solarium, casino, theater entertainment, children’s programming, and a mix of complimentary and specialty dining. The ship suits travelers who prefer a mid-sized vessel with classic Royal Caribbean features and extensive outdoor and ocean-view spaces.
