Royal Caribbean cruises feature theme nights. Pull on your tie-dye shirt or your jean jacket for to relive the 1970s or '80s. Or if you prefer a more formal affair, dress to the nines for a masquerade ball. Rock out during Rock 'n' Roll Night, throw on a sheet and live like the Greeks for a toga party or let the kids search for treasure during Pirate Theme Night.
Game-show fanatics can participate in one of the many games that are played on cruises. Game shows include "Name That Lyric," "Turner Classics Movie Trivia" and "Karaoke Superstar." Or you can enjoy classic board and card games such as chess and backgammon. Games are played in various locations on the ship throughout the day and into the evening.
Royal Caribbean throws a variety of parties to entertain its guests, including Dancing Under the Stars Pool Party, Honeymooners' Party, Singles Party and Mix-and-Mingles. Depending on your cruise's destination, you can enjoy an itinerary-specific party, such as Caribbean Night.
Active travelers can participate in a number of sporting events, including basketball, volleyball, soccer, dodge ball, mini golf, rock climbing and billiards. If you're the competitive type, tournaments are held in several of the sports. Turn a few laps in the pool, or give surfing a try with the ship's on-board wave generator.
Travelers can learn something new every day. Put your dancing shoes and learn how to boogie; classes are offered in hip how, swing and salsa. You might be in a tropical location, but you can learn to ice skate. If you've had enough physical activity for the day, try a cooking class or learn a foreign language. Other options include casino and card-game lessons, jewelry making and fruit and vegetable carving.
