Coco Cay Island, CocoCay beaches, or Labadee are provided exclusively to clients of the Royal Caribbean cruise company.

Cabins on the Liners

Tourists can purchase a Royal Caribbean cruise in a convenient cabin of one of these types:

• Interior cabins. Provide private rest away from the eyes of others. They vary in size and are designed for different numbers of people. Cabins include showers, beds, and tables. They have cozy furnishings.

• Interior cabins with a virtual balcony. They differ from standard interior cabins with a wide-format 2 m high screen. Images from the captain’s bridge are broadcast on the screen in real time. There are cabins with either one king-size bed or two beds.

• Cabins with a window. The windows allow you to enjoy sea landscapes live, as well as local architecture and nature, and to watch what’s happening in port areas. On some liners, there are cabins with internal windows. Through these windows, guests can observe exciting events, for example, a parade on the Royal Promenade or sports training in Central Park.

• Cabins with a balcony. Indoor balconies offer many advantages to liner guests. They have a larger area and make your rest more varied. From the balconies, you can watch interesting events on board, which is more convenient than viewing activities through windows.

• Cabins with a balcony with ocean view. If you want to get the maximum experience from your sea journey, a cabin with an ocean-view balcony is the best option. Breakfastes in the balcony cabin are especially pleasant, during which you can admire sea landscapes, the ports of major cities, or the nature along the shore.

• Suites. Cabins for luxurious rest. Suites are luxury-class accommodations. Guests are offered personal restaurants, unlimited internet, exclusive pools, and personal concierges. Such cabins are suitable for large families and groups that value extra comfort.

The type and size of the cabin significantly affect the price of Royal Caribbean tickets and the overall trip cost.
