Worth knowing

Watch outs

Things that may matter depending on your travel style — not criticisms.

  • Royal Caribbean scheduled the refit for late April through May 2026; earlier sailings predate it
  • Chops Grille, Giovanni's Table, Izumi and Johnny Rockets are specialty, not included dining
  • Chef's Table requires advance booking

Choosing a room

Cabins

  • Four room types are offered: Interior, Ocean View, Balcony and Suite
  • Select staterooms connect to each other to accommodate more guests
  • Royal Suite Class is not offered on this ship; it runs on a named list of other ships
