Royal Caribbean Monarch of the Seas - A Great Ship for a First Time Cruiser
There is plenty to do on the Royal Caribbean Monarch of the Seas. Once upon a time, it was one of the largest cruise ships in the world. It was launched in 1991, and at that time, it generated a lot of media coverage for being one of the three largest cruise ships. Compared to the mega-ships of today, however, it is only average in size.
Nevertheless, it has plenty to offer. Cruise experts consider it to be a great choice for first time cruisers. If you are new to cruising, then Monarch of the Seas is an excellent place to start. It offers three and four night Bahamas itineraries out of Port Canaveral. You can get away for a few days on the private island of CocoCay. This ship has fourteen decks and room for nearly 2,500 guests.
Whether you want to stay on board or go on land excursions while at port, you will find plenty to keep you entertained. On the ship, you can relax at a spa, go swimming in one of the large outdoor pools, rock-climb, enjoy yourself at the Casino Royale, eat at one of the many fine dining restaurants, and so forth.
There is always something going on, 24/7, on board the ship. The Royal Caribbean line has always been renowned for its entertainment. There is a variety of shows for adults and children of all age groups: comedy, drama, music, singing, dancing, hypnosis, and so forth. The Boleros Lounge in particular has a lot of entertaining shows at night.
The Viking Crown Lounge is the largest venue on the ship. This venue has a circular layout, and is small enough so that you can walk all the way around it. Another small lounge that you need to visit during your stay is the Schooner Bar. It has a neat, nautical theme that will make you feel as if you are on a pirate ship! It is near the casino, Centrum, and the Sound of Music Lounge.
In addition to the lounges, there are plenty of restaurants and cafes on the Monarch. The two dining rooms are Vincent's and Claude's. Both of these offer a fine dining experience. They both have a raised center section and lower perimeter banquet seating options. If you want something more casual, you can head to the Windjammer Caf. This is a buffet restaurant that features pizza, turkey, pasta, salad, rattan, and any other bistro-style food you can eat.
Overall, the Monarch is one of the Royal Caribbean's most popular ships, and if you are looking for an inexpensive cruise, this is a great choice. It is not the most luxurious of ships, but it is an ideal solution for getting away for a few, fun-filled days.
