Our tracker shows real-time vessel locations based on AIS data transmitted to VesselFinder. Ship tracking allows you to see vessel's current itinerary route on a digital map, with information on its speed, previous and next call port, estimated port arrival time. Next, are listed all large seaports at which cruise ships tender their passengers ashore. Currently, these ports don't have the needed infrastructure (quay, pier, wharf) with the capacity to berth large cruise vessels.
Odyssey Of The Seas
The new choice offers direct booking through RCI (ONLY via Royal Caribbean). Booked passengers have to provide Private Journeys' staff with their idea/basics of what they want (duration, preferred places, activities, meals, etc). Then they work with local (professional) tour guides to design the excursion. Star OTS' inaugural season is based on homeporting in Port Canaveral and 7-day roundtrips to the Eastern and Western Caribbean.

Dedicated areas and facilities, including toddlers-only pools, computer rooms, video game arcades, separate kids- and teen-only clubs. Also complimentary the company offers to kids and teenagers supervised activities at dedicated facilities and youth counselors on each vessel.

All cruises departing before April 1 (2019) had the DreamWorks program available for the entire voyage.
Cruise Itinerary
All of the ships in this cruise line’s fleet offer family-friendly experiences for guests of all ages. Even little ones will find plenty of ways to play with spaces and activities designed for tots to tweens. One of the top reasons savvy travelers love cruising, though, is because of the incredible value it offers. With Royal Caribbean, your cruise fare includes access to most of the ship’s attractions, select dining venues and all of the entertainment onboard. If you want to make your experience even more all-inclusive, you can opt for beverage and specialty dining packages that cover drinks and dinner at some of the most exclusive restaurants in the fleet. On top of all that, the cruise line presents frequent limited-time offers and seasonal sales, making it easy to score big savings when booking your vacation.
Developments by Holistica were also planned for Costa Maya (Mexico), Roatan Island (Honduras) and Kumamoto (Kyushu Island, Japan). The Voyager-class, Freedom-class, and Oasis-class vessels have Royal Promenade. It is a centerline promenade in a multi-deck Atrium with a pedestrian (shopping mall-like) area lined with restaurants and shops. At night, the Royal Promenade turns into an entertainment venue hosting live parades and dance parties. Royal Promenade's upper levels have "Promenade Staterooms" (each with a large window overlooking the promenade below). (deposit program changes) Since November 2018, RCI customers booking non-refundable deposit fares don't receive onboard credit (US$100) per stateroom.
CruiseMapper provides cruise ship schedules (itinerary timetables, sailing calendars, departure dates, prices), as well as cruise port schedules (ship departures and arrivals by port). These are short links jumping down directly to the topics of cruise tracker (real-time AIS ship location tracking), cruise itinerary information, tendered ports. These engineering wonders take home awards every year for their cutting-edge design, first-of-their-kind attractions, world class dining and accommodations, and unforgettable experiences. From the tallest slide at sea, to culinary concepts that take guests from Japan to Italy to Wonderland, the world’s largest cruise ships are full of adventures guaranteed to wow every kind of explorer. Tracking cruise ships' current positions (location at sea or in port now) has never been that easy thanks to the AIS technology (abbrev from "Automatic Identification System"). This is an automatic system used for tracking cruise ship positions and by vessel tracking services (VTS), locating and identifying cruise ships by AIS data exchange between nearby cruise ships and AIS receiving stations.
In August 2022 RCG signed a deal with SpaceX (2002-founded by Elon Musk) for using Starlink's satellites to provide faster and low-latency Internet fleetwide (RCI, Celebrity, and Silversea). VOOM Internet has latency 120 ms, ping ~300 ms, download speed ~4,6 Mbps, upload speed ~5,2 Mbps. VOOM allows fast streaming of music and movies (incl YouTube, Netflix), uploading multiple (incl big-sized) pictures, also video chatting (FaceTime, Skype, conference calls), checking email, web surfing, stable and fast VPN connections. The onboard system is based on the 802.11b wireless connection (theoretical bandwidth peak of 11 Mbps). In 2016 CocoCay was upgraded with a swim-up bar at Barefoot Beach, new cabanas, new island dock (for tenders), 35 beach bungalows (capacity 6 persons each) at Barefoot Beach. Thrill Waterpark attraction has 2 water towers (Daredevil's Tower, Family Tower) with a total of 13 slides.
"Cruise Compass" is named the RCI's onboard newsletter delivered by cabin attendants each evening. This is a daily guide for news, onboard events, and activities on the cruise ship scheduled for the next day. In August 2017, Royal Caribbean changed "Next Cruise" (onboard cruise booking program).

NextCruise allows passengers to book a future RCI itinerary while on the ship. In April RCG partnered with IDEMIA (fka Morpho) - Paris-based French company specializing in security and identity solutions. IDEMIA's services will help speed up RCCL passenger disembarkation at select US homeports via the company's MFACE (high-speed 3D facial recognition) technology.
While the Port Authority of the Cayman Islands strives to provide accurate cruise schedule information, the schedules are often made years in advance and are subject to change by the cruise lines. We immediately update our website with any changes that the cruise lines notify us of and therefore we ask you to check our online schedule regularly. Calls to Cayman and actual arrival and departure times may also be impacted by factors beyond our control (such as weather). Princess Cruises and Holland America Line use Whittier for their "turnaround" port, while other lines use Seward.
The ship offers 7-day roundtrip itineraries to Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka, Skagway, Victoria (BC Canada). For winter 2024, Rhapsody OTS has scheduled an RCI-first Caribbean and Latin America program based on 3x homeports - two in Panama (Colon, and Panama City/Fuerte Amador) and one in Colombia (Cartagena). In late February 2017, the RCCL corporation imposed a fee of USD 65 pp in case of leaving the cruise early (whatever the reason might be).
For toddlers (2-3 yo) on each liner are provided at-fee nursery services (hourly charge) via highly experienced and professionally trained staff. Before 2017, RCI offered photo packages for online purchasing on a separate website. In late June 2017, RCI added two photo packages (available for online purchasing at CruisePlanner) both including two options - digital (unlimited photos are uploaded on a USB stick) and printed. The previous time when RCI updated its cancellation policy was on March 7, 2016. Emerald level members receive Welcome Waters and Snacks (with Beverage Selection) and bigger booking discounts (on Balconies and Suites). Drink packages include Deluxe (all-inclusive), Refreshment (non-alcoholic) and Soda (unlimited refills with included a Coca-Cola souvenir cup).
In addition to the cash money, Lefebvre family received ~472,000 RCCL shares. With the addition of Silversea (4 expedition ships) and the newbuild Celebrity Flora (Galapagos), RCCL's expedition fleet in 2019 grew to approx 2,5% of the corporation's combined fleet (compared to 0,5% in 2018). By combined expedition cruise berths, RCCL is ranked the world's 4th largest operator - following Ponant, Hurtigruten and Lindblad. In July 2020, RCCL-Royal Caribbean Group purchased Silversea's remaining shares from Heritage Cruise Holding Ltd. The purchase was in the form of 5,2 million RCL shares (~2,5% of RCCL's total common stock).
