Onboard personality
Neighborhood-scale mega-ships, aqua and ice shows, surf simulators, and the industry's benchmark private island at Perfect Day at CocoCay. Royal's Florida fleet spans the newest Icon class down to friendly mid-size Radiance ships in Tampa.
Best traveler fit
Families, multigenerational groups, and anyone who wants maximum ship with their sailing.
Weaker fit
Travelers seeking quiet, small-ship calm on the newest hardware — choose the mid-size classes or another line.
Common extra costs
Specialty dining, drink and Wi-Fi packages, headline attraction extras on some ships, and CocoCay's waterpark and cabanas. Every fare also excludes taxes, port fees, and gratuities until the partner's checkout shows the full total.
