Cruise Weekly’s guest expert, Adam
Armstrong from Royal Caribbean answers the
final crop of your cruising-related queries.
When we were on Rhapsody of the Seas in
February, there were NO iPad’s in cabins. I
had read that during the refurbishment they
were installing them, but we didn’t see any.
Can you please clarify.
Unfortunately we have had some technical
issues with the introduction of iPads on our
ships – so they are not yet available onboard
Rhapsody of the Seas. Sorry for the delay.
Do passengers ever get lost wandering
around your ships?
Sometimes! Royal Caribbean’s ships are the
largest in the world so we’ve come up with a
clever way to help our guests navigate their
way around – a digital “Wayfinder” system.
These are large touch-screen TVs located
in every staircase and they help guests
locate venues on the ship, as well as their
cabin; plus browse up-to-the-minute info
on activities, news, menus and restaurant
availability. They’re being rolled out across
every ship in our fleet, and Rhapsody of the
Seas and Radiance of the Seas already have
them in Australia.
What are some of the most popular drinks
ordered on voyages?
That depends on who you ask! It also
depends on where the ship is sailing – and
our guest nationality. In our region the most
popular drinks are Australian wines and
beers – so we have a special Aussie beverage
list featuring selections that you wouldn’t get
on our ships elsewhere in the world. There’s
also a big queue at the coffee shop every
morning onboard our local ships – our Aussie
guests enjoy a good barista coffee!
Thanks again to Adam Armstrong from
Royal Caribbean for his insightful answers.
