What experiences can you expect on a Royal Caribbean cruise?

Are you interested in a wedding cruise but worried about your guests’ experience?
Read on to learn what your friends and family can expect on your wedding cruise with Royal Caribbean!

 

Your guests will be greeted by crew members as they board – from that moment on, they will have access to all the ship’s amenities. Royal Caribbean ships offer a wide range of activities so each guest can personalize their experience.

 

They can enjoy a pina colada poolside or grab a latte and go shopping; grab a slice of pizza on their way to the spa or go for a workout; dip into the hot tub or hit the casino. A perk of a cruise wedding is knowing that your guests are always taken care of, entertained, and well-fed!
