Voyager of the Seas Overview

Voyager of the Seas arrives in Sydney November 2019 for a six month season after a major refurbishment, a real commitment by Royal Caribbean to Australian cruising. Take a short 2 or 3 night ‘office break’ cruise (or find out if cruising is for you). Many cruises head for Pacific islands over 10 to 14 nights. Head for the Great Barrier Reef, or south to Tasmania. Voyager returns to Sydney for another six month season in 2020/2021. Meanwhile until August 2019 she sails out of Hong Kong to Japan, Taiwan and Vietnam. Consider the relaxing Singapore to Sydney relocation in November 2019, at a very reasonable fare. Or, take the return trip to Singapore in April 2020. Voyager of the Seas entered service in 1999 at 137,276 GT. During her last refit she added fun amenities: Flowrider surfing simulator, 3D movie theatre, new restaurants including Chop’s Grille, and virtual balconies on interior cabins.

Accommodation

Staterooms come in four main categories and 22 grades, with variations based on guests’ needs: Suites/Deluxe Staterooms, Balcony Staterooms, Outside Staterooms and Interior Staterooms. Interiors are now fitted with 80 inch “virtual balcony” displays. When selecting accommodation consider the view, the level of privacy, and location near to or far from activity areas. All staterooms come with private bathroom, vanity area, hair dryer, interactive TV and phone. Many cabins are family-friendly with up to four additional bunk beds, and interconnecting rooms. Promenade staterooms overlook the interior Royal Promenade, and some accommodate up to six people. There are no single cabins, and many are wheelchair-accessible. In-cabin service and dining is available 24-hours.

Food and Dining

For the Main Dining Room, spread over three levels, select from three dining choices before cruising: fixed seating at the same table nightly, at either early or late sitting; open-seated My Time Dining (with pre-paid gratuities) at a flexible time; and early sitting My Family Time Dining that allows children aged 3 to 11 years to leave for their Adventure Ocean kids club. Menus feature healthy, vegetarian and kosher options. Special dietary needs can be catered for by giving advanced notice. Menus change daily throughout the cruise. Evening dress is casual or smart casual. Expect one to three formal evenings in the Main Dining Room during your cruise. There are seven complimentary eating options, including Windjammers Café, Jade Sushi and Izumi Japanese cuisine, Giovanni’s Italian, Café Promenade for coffee, pastries/snacks, and room service.

Entertainment

Signature features to entertain you include: Broadway-style productions in the Main Theatre; Studio B’s ice shows, comedy, game shows, onboard parties, and cooking demonstrations (and when the rink is not being used, skate for free); and gaming in Casino Royale. The 2014 ship upgrade added a 3D movie theatre. Live music features around the pool, in the main dining room, and in many lounges, bars and specialty venues. There are always parties and parades to join. Alternatively, just stroll around the Royal Promenade and shop duty-free, or for a quiet time retire to the Library/Card Room or Internet Café.
