Editorial Summary

Matt from the Royal Caribbean blog identifies four specific paid experiences on Royal Caribbean cruises that he considers worth the additional expense. He begins by recommending the sushi making class at Azumi specialty restaurant, noting that it combines a meal with an interactive learning experience where guests create various types of rolls under chef supervision. He also highlights the Prohibition party available on certain ships like Liberty of the Seas, which features a 1920s speakeasy theme with entertainment, food, and cocktails. For travelers visiting private destinations such as Labadee or Perfect Day at CocoCay, he suggests renting a cabana to provide privacy, shade, and a central home base for families. Finally, he discusses the value of specialty dining packages. He explains that these packages allow guests to bundle multiple restaurant visits, which can save up to 40 percent compared to paying individual cover charges. He concludes that these options are effective ways to maximize the vacation experience for both new and repeat cruisers.
