Hi there! I’m Anja, a 25-year-old veterinary student from Slovenia 🇸🇮. After seven years of studying, I decided to take a different path—one that doesn’t involve a traditional 9-to-5 job. Instead, I’m chasing my dream of traveling full-time and ticking off everything on my fucketlist. Yep, I’m on a mission to become a full-time fucketlister! I joined this community thinking it was a sailing group (oops). One of the big goals on my list is to cross the Pacific Ocean. But then I realized this is actually a cruising community! That said, I’m already seeing how much value this space offers. After all, we share a love for the same things: traveling, the sea, sunny skies, and sandy beaches. I’m excited to be here, connect with like-minded adventurers, and see where this journey takes me! 😊

Choosing Your Perfect Royal Caribbean Ship With Royal Caribbean’s incredible fleet of ships, each offering unique features and experiences, choosing the perfect ship for your cruise can feel overwhelming. To make your decision easier, here are a few tips to guide you: - Consider the Ship’s Size If you love big, bustling environments with endless activities, consider Royal Caribbean’s larger ships like those in the Icon Class, Oasis Class or Quantum Class. For a more intimate and relaxed vibe, opt for a smaller ship like those in the Voyager Class, Radiance Class or Vision Class. - Think About Your Holiday Goals Want to relax? Look for ships with extensive spa facilities, quiet lounges, and scenic spots. Seeking adventure? Choose ships with unique attractions like FlowRider surf simulators, zip lines, or the North Star observation capsule. - Evaluate the Itinerary Some ships are specifically designed for certain regions. For example, larger ships often sail in the Caribbean, while smaller ships can explore more remote ports like Alaska or the Mediterranean. - Dining Preferences Foodies may prefer ships with a wide variety of speciality dining options, from Jamie’s Italian to Wonderland. If you prefer complimentary dining, check out ships with expanded free offerings. - Travelling with Kids or as a Couple? Families may love ships with kids’ clubs, water parks, and family staterooms. Couples might prefer ships with romantic dining venues, adults-only Solarium areas, and quieter atmospheres. - Budget Considerations Larger, newer ships often have higher base prices, but offer cutting-edge features. Older or smaller ships can provide excellent value without compromising on service or experience. By focusing on what matters most to you—whether it’s the destination, onboard activities, or budget—you can narrow down the options and find the Royal Caribbean ship that perfectly suits your dream holiday.

Guests are allowed to bring two 750 ml bottles of wine or Champagne per stateroom on embarkation day. Spirits and beer are not permitted, and any additional alcohol purchased onboard or in port will be stored by the ship and returned at the end of the cruise.
