Onboard Activities

Spectrum of the Seas has amazing facilities for children of all ages, including Seaplex, the biggest indoor active space at sea, which features the first ocean-top bumper car track, popular Olympic sports like archery as well as ping-pong, basketball, and more. Some activities even have professional coaches on hand to encourage kids’ interest in sports. Check out Splashaway Bay’s colourful waterslide, water cannons, fountains, and pool for a day of amusement at sea.

For the more adventurous at heart, this ship features a host of adrenaline pumping activities. Spectrum of the Seas is home to Asia’s first Sky Pad, a combination of Virtual Reality and bungee trampolining. How cool is that? Or try out RipCord® by iFLY and experience the rush of flying mid-air. For a truly stunning view, admire the vastness of the sea atop the North Star, a Guinness World Record holder for “Highest Viewing Deck on a Cruise Ship”. North Star takes you 300 feet in the air above the sea in a glass capsule, offering a full 360-degree view.

If all that daring activity has you feeling drained, relax your body and mind at the Vitality Spa where you can indulge in a massage or beauty treatments with a stunning view. After you’re fully relaxed and pampered, soak up the sun, gaze at the stars, or quietly catch the last rays of light on the lounge deck then order a cocktail poured by robot bartenders at the Bionic Bar – the perfect end to your day.

Themed Cruises

Themed cruises take place through the months of October and November. The Royal Caribbean Arts on the Ocean Cruisecation runs for four cruises in October and features Art Master Classes, with famous artists teaching guests how to turn their cruise memories into works of art and photography.

For an exclusive wine and dine experience, guests should join one of Wine and Dine Festival Cruises running in November. Dine at a different restaurant each night, experience a six-course wine pairing menu at the Captains table, visit one of four Time Traveller theme bars, or enjoy bottomless beverages with one of the drink packages.

Cuisine

On board you can enjoy up to 19 different international cuisines. Families are invited to check out Splashaway Café with its fun décor or Sichuan Red for authentic Sichuan food and hot pot. For a romantic dinner for two, consider a specialty restaurant such as the Chops Grille American steakhouse, seafood, sizzling plate Teppanyaki, or surround yourself with beautiful views at the Two70 Café.

Accommodation

Chilling in your cabin can make for valuable and enjoyable family time too. The Spectrum of the Seas offers ocean view room options throughout the entire boat, showcasing spectacular open scenery. The ultra-private Royal Suite Class occupies the 13th-16th floors, with different Royal Suites for Star, Sky, and Sea Class members. Exclusive concierge, dining, VIP entertainment services, and Royal Genie cater to your special requests and arrangements such as birthday and anniversary party planning.

Traveling with the whole family? Spectrum of the Seas has the exclusive Ultimate Family Suite, designed specifically for large families. The spacious 2,000 square feet suite includes:

a hot tub facing the ocean
a 3D surround sound entertainment room where the whole family can sing karaoke, play video games, and spend quality time together
There’s even a slide that goes from upstairs to downstairs, turning your suite into a private family playground!

Health Measures

Royal Caribbean continues to liaise closely with Hong Kong’s health and tourism authorities to comply with the official anti-epidemic measures. Bookings will be limited to no more than 50% of the passenger capacity and all passengers must show a negative COVID-19 PCR test prior to boarding. Also, all guests above the ages of 16 must be fully vaccinated and this will apply to guests above 12 years old by Friday, October 15 2021.

Additionally, enhanced and more frequent cleaning of rooms and facilities on board will be applied.

To help create more “touchless” experiences, Royal Caribbean developed a smartphone app so travellers can handle boarding procedures, submit health certificates, view a virtual safety demonstration, receive important information, view a deck plan of the boat, look at menus, make dinner reservations, or book tickets to shows, etc.
