Brilliance of the Seas


The Royal Caribbean has done it again. Their 90,000 ton cruise ship Brilliance of the Seas with its multi-hued entertainment icons, images and venues is enthralling even the most seasoned voyager, many of whom are admitting that they have rarely seen such brilliance in a single enclave anywhere, be it on the land or sea. Take for instance, the ship’s elaborate Indian Raj- themed Solarium that displays three, 16-feet tall elephants that are dressed in royal brocade, posing in front of a cascading waterfall. Though sounding incredible, it sure depicts the fantasy and opulence that once formed a part of British rule in the Indian subcontinent. The contemporary American passenger in this vessel is sure to get bewildered at the awe inspiring sight just to commemorate the magnificent scene.

Or think of the 9-story glass constructed Centrum with its flashy bars, lounges and duty-free shops that sell the finest cognac at less than half the original price. Add to it the state-of-the-art technology that conducts this 962-foot floating elegance with 2510 passengers at a cruising speed of 25 knots over the rolling seas, and what you have is an awesome experience.

  • Minstrel Dining Room is the ship’s prime elegant dining area that is featured with a cascading waterfall while providing numerous gastronomic fantasies.
  • Pacific Theater is where the passenger gets to see the Broadway or Las Vegas productions, while cruising on high seas.
  • The Art Gallery on board allows the cruisers to attend an auction, and buy the choicest paintings.
  • The Portofino restaurant is the pride of the Brilliance of the Seas. This is where the cruiser can get a taste of authentic Italian cuisine.

Enchantment Of The Seas

From Victor Hugo’s Toilers of the Sea to more contemporary Con Tiki expedition, people appear to have always been fascinated by sea voyages, especially when it is more oriented to fun than real life adventures. In the case of Royal Caribbean’s Enchantment Of The Seas however, the passengers can probably savor both. As a person enters the Enchantment, he/she is immediately confronted with the Centrum, a soaring seven-deck atrium that is studded with priceless art collections – a rare display for a cruise ship solely devoted to pleasure and pastime.

The Enchantment cabins, particularly the low-end ones measuring around 150 sq. ft. promise reasonable creature comfort, featuring a TV run through intra-ship channels mostly showing professionally produced promotional videos, a telephone, safe and toiletries. Hair dryers have recently been added for the benefit of the ladies. Storage space within the cabin is more or less OK while robes are provided to certain category of cabins only. Almost half of the ‘outside’ cabins of the Enchantment have balconies at different decks. As the liner travels through the open ocean, sitting in one of these balconies is sure to be an amazing feeling.


Breakfast and lunch is served in the ship’s Windjammer Café that also serves as an alternate casual dinner place - no reservation is compulsory. 24 hour room service can also be ordered by passengers. But there is a limited menu in this. The ship’s Solarium is famed for its hot dog and hamburger grill. The Royal Caribbean, nevertheless, prepares Ship Shape selection lists every night for the next day’s lunch and dinner menu which includes special items for the veggies.

The Enchantment’s prime enchantment venue is centered round its Orpheum Theater-Show Lounge which happens to be the most functional and intelligently designed structure ever created by the RCI. Since the seating arrangement is of the fixed type, adequate space has been left for enter and exit rows. The lounge also looks more neat and compact since peg tables have been replaced by beautifully designed peg holders inbuilt within the arm rests. In course of a week-long cruise, passengers are likely to view at least one show performed by a renowned entertainer, a couple of production shows, several evening time variety acts and, of course, a farewell feat.

Freedom Of The Seas

If you want to experience the ultimate in contemporary naval engineering and see what it can do in terms of convenience, ease and luxury, you must take a trip in RCI’s Freedom Of The Seas. This beautiful ship is second only to the legendary cruise ship Queen Mary 2. However, it has almost replaced the Queen Mary 2 as the largest cruise ship in the world with its gross tonnage of 160,000 as against the Mary's 150,000. Nevertheless, the QM 2 is still regarded as the longest cruise ship since it is 20 feet longer than the Freedom.

Even when you think of the features, all other multimillion dollar vessels will cut sorry figures before the Freedom Of The Seas. Where will you ever be able to find Onboard Surf Park at sea; Cantilevered whirlpools extending twelve feet beyond the flanks of the ship, H2O zone® Waterpark complete with interactive sculptured fountains and amazing waterfalls cascading through the deck? Then there is the most awe inspiring rock-climbing wall with a multitude of routes for scaling it and central spire you may swing around just for the heck of it. Also, think of the extensive WiFi feats offering you connectivity for your cell phones as well as broadband facility for your laptop. Book a voyage and see for yourself to believe these wonders afloat a ship.


Ever since its launching a few years ago, the Freedom of the Seas is sailing seven-night Western Caribbean itineraries from Miami and calling at Mexico, Cozumel, George Town, Grand Cayman, Montego Bay, Jamaica and Labadee, Royal Caribbean’s chosen destination.

Here is a list of some of the specialties of this great ship that awaits the pleasure of your visit.
  • Full-size flat-screen TV in all staterooms
  • Themed Bars and Lounges suiting your taste
  • Adventure Ocean® youth themes
  • ShipShape® Day Spa & fitness center
  • Casino Royale

Majesty Of The Seas

Majesty Of The Seas is a sovereign-class cruise ship that is owned and operated by Royal Caribbean International and it was placed in service in April, 1992. However since then, the ship has been extensively renovated to change most of her innate features and several new features. As a matter of fact, the 73,941-ton Majesty Of The Seas was taken to a dry dock on January 12, 2007 for a multi-million dollar refurbishment program. The restoration process covered the ship’s public areas, pool decks, restaurants, shops, centrums and cabins while the additions included Johnny Rockets, the Compass Deli, Seattle’s best coffee, Freeze Ice cream, Latin Night dancing venue as well as other customary Royal Caribbean electrical and mechanical thingamajigs.

When the Majesty Of The Seas was finally pressed into service (3-Night Bahamas roundtrip Miami, Florida or 4-Night Bahamas roundtrip Miami, Florida), she was practically a new ship with tastefully refurbished staterooms, newly remodeled pool deck, enhanced Day Spa and Fitness Center and many more. To be precise, her current features include the renowned Viking Crown Lounge overlooking the pool and sun decks, an onboard fully equipped Casino, 11-passenger elevators, two of which are glass-lined and two major swimming pools.


As for onboard bars and drinking dens, Majesty of the seas have the usual marine-oriented Schooner Bar, A Touch of Class Champagne Bar, Boleros Latin Bar, Windjammer Café, Poolside Bar and On Your Toes Nightclub. Apart from these wonderful watering holes, this newly decorated ship boasts of a full-size Basketball Court and an adventurous rock-climbing wall. Also, the ship’s comfortable staterooms have been provided with luxurious bedspreads, flat screen TVs and 110 V/220 V plug points plus wireless Broadband connectivity for Laptop users.

Majesty of the Seas is currently commissioned by the Royal Caribbean on a 7-day cycle that covers two weekly voyages to the Port of Miami, stopping at Nassau (birthplace of the internationally famous black celluloid star, Sidney Poitier), Coco Cay, a private island owned by the Royal Caribbean and Key West, where the renowned American novelist and Nobel Laureate, “Papa” Hemingway completed the manuscript for his legendary work entitled “Farewell to Arms”. Surprisingly enough, even though another equally famous American writer, Tennessee Williams, author of yet another fictional masterpiece, “A streetcar Named Desire” lived in Key West during the same period, these two literary giants never met each other.

Explorer of the Seas

Royal Caribbean International’s MS Explorer of the Seas happens to be one of their largest cruise ships that can accommodate more than 3000 passengers, boasting the highest space-per-guest ratio in the cruise business line. The 142,000-ton Voyager-class cruise ship Explorer has a built-in Atmospheric & Oceanographic Laboratory that is used by scientists researching for the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. In shape, size and dimensions it is only second to Cunard Line’s Queen Mary 2.

As a matter of fact, there has never been a ship like this, featuring so many fabulous things of interest. Imagine a rock-climbing precipice aboard a floating vessel, a skating rink and a street fair going in full swing right above the rolling seas. Fascinating, isn’t it? The mighty ship’s destination includes the Caribbean, Bermuda, Canada and New England. The Explorer is also often chartered for holiday cruises.
