Whether you’re cruising for the first time or planning your next adventure, Royal Caribbean ships are packed with amazing things to do. From sky-high thrills to cozy nighttime fun, these are my favorite onboard activities — perfect for all ages!
This 10-story dry slide is a total adrenaline rush! My husband did it on Symphony, and it’s one of those “must-try once” things — even if you just go to cheer someone on from the bottom

Karaoke nights are so much fun! The energy, the laughter, the random hidden talents — it’s one of the best ways to meet people and make memories onboard

Don’t miss the big parties — especially the midnight balloon drop on Symphony! It’s such a magical way to kick off your cruise.

Available on Anthem and Odyssey, and such a fun surprise! The kids (and adults!) will love this one — it’s not something you expect to find on a cruise ship!

Nothing beats lounging on deck with a drink in hand and that endless ocean view. The adult-only Solarium is especially relaxing.

The AquaTheater performances are incredible — it feels like Cirque du Soleil over water. And the ice shows? They’re surprisingly emotional and beautifully done.

Hands down, one of the coolest cruise experiences — especially when the ship is docked in Alaska or the Caribbean. The views are unreal

If you love games, try the escape rooms or laser tag arenas (available on some ships). They’re such a fun way to break up pool time.

The entertainment crew always brings the fun — from belly flop contests to trivia and line dancing. Even if you don’t join in, it’s hilarious to watch!
Pool & Water Activities | Utopia of the Seas
Such an iconic Royal Caribbean activity! Whether you try surfing or just watch others wipe out (in the nicest way 😅), it’s always entertaining.
