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). However, all roommates ages 6 and older must purchase the package to receive its benefits (available via SeaPass cards and starting on embarkation day). On two liners (Liberty OTS and Oasis OTS) was tested the new VIP passenger access program "The Key". The program's test period was between November 2018 and March 2019. Currently, RCI offers two VIP packages available for prepurchasing before boarding the ship - "The Key" and "Premier Pass".

Shipboard VIP passenger program

There are no age restrictions on CocoCay, but some waterslides and activities (including helium balloon and zip-line) have height and weight restrictions. Thrill Waterpark cabanas are located near Thrill Waterpark (playground complex) and positioned near Daredevil's Peak, Family Tower and the Wave Pool.

The Best Family Vacation On Explorer of The Seas

There are so many factors to consider, and an agent that has years of experience booking cruises can make this so much easier. While the small ships lack surf simulators and bumper cars, they make up for it in a classic cruise experience and lower price. These smaller ships can get to ports of call that larger ships cannot, as well as offer a more intimate experience in relationship with your fellow guests. The problem with a short cruise is they go by so quickly and for someone new to cruising, it may not provide enough time on ship or on shore to really get a sense of it all.

Ice cream, scooped at mealtimes and from machines in between (apart from Ben & Jerry's) is also free. Other dining choices with additional cost run the gamut from Asian to a steakhouse, deli and Mexican and Italian restaurants. Room service carries a $7.95 cost per order, with the exception of Continental breakfast.

Royal Caribbean makes it easy to maximize your weekends with short getaways that go long on thrills. Take a break from the daily grind and slip into vacation mode with unbeatable deals on 2-3 night cruises that fit more fun into just a few days. Chill Island cabanas are on Chill Island's northern side, near the tours office. Upon request are provided (complimentary) portable Bluetooth speaker, floating mats, snorkeling gear. Poolside Cabana guests enjoy exclusive access to an infinity pool/plunge pool.
