Day 1 - Orlando (Port Canaveral), Florida
As the home of Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral is the launching point for all-out adventure in Central Florida. Its beaches offer a mix of family-friendly shores and secluded swaths of sand. And with Orlando’s theme park sprawl only an hour away, you can easily mingle with your favorite characters.
Fly into Orlando early and plan a pre-cruise visit to Brevard zoo, or hit off-the-beaten-path attractions like the Orlando Science Center, Gatorland and the Orlando Eye. In Port Canaveral, climb to the top of Exploration Tower for panoramic views of the port, snap a photo of the sunrise from the sands of Canaveral National Seashore, then grab breakfast at a cozy café in Historic Cocoa Village or spend a day at the Kennedy Space Center.
Day 2 - Perfect Day at CocoCay, Bahamas
This isn’t vacation days spent. This is bragging rights earned. Enjoy the day in our exclusive R Family/Olivia section of the island of CocoCay (RCCL’s own private island). With one-of-a-kind ways to thrill and chill, all in the same day. Like conquering the tallest waterslide in North America and snapping a shot from 400 feet up in a helium balloon. Grab a drink at the swim-up bar and soak up the scene in the largest freshwater pool in The Bahamas. Or get a taste of Bora Bora with your own Overwater Cabana.
Day 3 - A Day at Sea!
Up for adventure? Make the most of every moment at sea, with more to see, do, play and conquer. Like the all-new Wonder Playscape, an underwater-themed world with endless opportunities for kids to explore. Wonder Dunes, where you can tee up under the sun or stars for an immersive, story-based mini golf journey like nothing you've played before. The fleet-favorite FlowRider surf simulator. And the twisting, turning, fun-drenched thrills of The Perfect Storm waterslide trio.
Day 4 - Cozumel, Mexico
With its lively tropical reefs, crystal-clear waters and ancient ruins, Cozumel is ripe for one-of-a-kind adventures. Cruise to Cozumel and head to Chankanaab National Park, where you can snorkel among the colorful reefs and schools of tropical fish that give this island its premier diving status. Or travel back in time on an adventure through the towering Maya ruins of Tulum. When you’re done exploring, unwind with a beachside massage at Playa Mia. From culture savoring to soaking up sunshine, you’ll find a world of adventure waiting for you in Cozumel.
Day 5 - Roatan, Honduras
Roatán’s diverse blend of cultures and traditions is enough to charm anyone. But its mangrove forests, dense jungles, and swaths of white-sand beach will make you want to stay forever. Divers and snorkelers from all over the globe flock to the largest of Honduras’ Bay Islands every year see to the world’s second largest barrier reef firsthand. Roatán cruises provide access to laid-back beach towns and secluded shores. On the Big Island, you can mingle with monkeys and “Jesus” lizards, snorkel with stingrays, and zipline through rainforest canopies.
Day 6 - Puerto Costa Maya, Mexico
Past meets present in Costa Maya. Cruise to Costa Maya and find ancient Maya ruins and mysterious jungles just begging to be explored, as well as private beach clubs and trendy restaurants— all in one place. It’s 250 square miles of paradise packed with entertainment and history, all just 30 miles south of Cancun. The Great Maya Reef just off the coast is the second largest in the world— it’s a must-snorkel spot. Or you can kick back at the port village of Mahahual with an ice-cold michelada— a spicy beer cocktail— in hand. For a culture fix, head to the Kohunlick ruins to see the famous Temple of the Masks.
Day 7 - A Day at Sea!
The search for your favorite island bar is over. The Lime and Coconut® turns the vacay vibes way, way up with DJs, live music and two bars serving all your favorite poolside cocktails — including the signature Lime & Coconut. And when the sun goes down, this pool bar just might be the hottest spot onboard.
There’s nothing more satisfying than a great slice of pizza — and Royal Caribbean has spent years perfecting the recipe at Sorrento’s. Whether you’re into classics, like cheese and Margherita, or specialty pies, like the meat-loaded Carnivore or the pineapple, bacon and BBQ-infused Caribbean Dream, Sorrento’s serves up perfection in every slice.
Day 8 - Orlando (Port Canaveral), Florida
Once you dock this morning, either head home or head an hour west to Orlando’s theme park heaven to brave thrill rides, catch spectacular shows, and meet a friendly cast of characters. Outside the parks you can browse renowned art museums and lunch along ritzy Park Avenue.
