Three generations travel together on the Royal Caribbean Ocean Spectrum to experience the entertaining and educational time of parent-child at sea

My first memory of cruise ships probably began after I heard various stories about cruise ships when I was a child. To this day, I still remember watching "The Sea Pianist" when I was a child. When I was still ignorant of the great life sung in the movie, the one that impressed me the most was probably the top luxury cruise ship. The giant ship more than 100 years ago was equipped with gyms, swimming pools, high-end restaurants, etc., which made me yearn for a cruise. After falling in love with travel, I had the opportunity to experience many cruise ships. For me, a cruise not only gives me a chance to empty my mind when traveling alone, but also the best choice for three generations of my family to travel together. There are many different experience projects on cruise ships suitable for people of all ages, so safety naturally goes to the point.

The Royal Caribbean Ocean Spectrum is the best choice for three generations of travel!

Because I don't know much about cruise ships, I prefer more big-name companies with good reputation among the public. As an international cruise brand that has been popular around the world for 50 years and has won the "Best Cruise Company" award for 15 consecutive years, Royal Caribbean has undoubtedly become my first choice. In 2009, Royal Caribbean entered China and led the Chinese cruise industry into the "big ship era".

The Royal Caribbean Ocean Spectrum is a new ship launched this year under Royal Caribbean Cruises. My first feeling when I saw Spectrum was shock. The sixteen-story cruise ship is slicing through the waves on the ocean like a giant. The designers were very thoughtful. There are a total of more than 2000 different types of rooms on board to choose from. The luxury suites on board are very suitable for three generations to travel together. Although I am on the boat, I feel that I have no delay in eating, drinking and having fun. The dishes in the ship's restaurant range from light flavors suitable for children and the elderly to heavy flavors like me. Not only that, various entertainment events such as deck skydiving, Polaris, and Antarctic ball kept me in a rush of adrenaline all day long. Children's amusement parks are children's world. For the elderly, lying next to the open-air swimming pool and basking in the sun is no more pleasant.

Learn while playing, let your baby grow while traveling

Traveling with their children is a worry for many parents. Because children and adults have different preferences, simply touring the mountains and rivers and appreciating scenic spots are not so attractive to them. They are energetic and curious about everything, and can bounce around for hours without feeling tired. In addition, my three-year-old son is in the initial stage of learning English, which is very important. I enrolled him in a foreign language English class on VIPKID. Recently, Royal Caribbean and VIPKID jointly launched an open course on cruise ships. I downloaded the course so that Xiao Bao can study immersively on the cruise ship. Our trip must be able to allow him to learn while playing. Therefore, the initial choice of cruise ships to start parent-child tours was based on consideration of this issue.

Haishangqi Center

There is a large children's playground on the cruise ship equipped with various colorful entertainment facilities. This is a paradise for babies and the place that attracts them the most. As soon as my son walked in, he immediately enjoyed himself and played all the interesting facilities. The amusement park is full of laughter and laughter. The innocence of children is really something that people envy. While playing, I also didn't forget to strike while the iron was hot to help him review various words he had learned. Which color and what kind of toy I saw, I inadvertently asked him: Do you remember how to say it in English? What surprised me was that he could answer quickly every time. It seems that the Royal and VIPKID open classes for foreign teachers are really helpful!

Xishuitan

Playing in the water beach is a favorite for children. Children seem to be born with water, and everyone likes to drill into it. There is not just water here. How can water alone attract the attention of children? There are all kinds of colorful sculptures on the Wifling Beach, scattered next to spray heads, nozzles and water cannons, like children's loyal playmates. Children can use these water cannons to spray moisture on their friends and have a fierce "water war". At night, the Wifang Beach will turn into a beautiful sculpture world due to the colorful lights. It is here that my baby met a group of lovely little friends, and still has contact with several of them.

Xishui restaurant

The splashing restaurant is a paradise for children. As the name suggests, this restaurant on the 14th floor is located next to the children's swimming area. When children are hungry, they can eat their favorite food directly in the restaurant. The decoration style of the entire restaurant is full of childlike interest and very attracts the attention of children. The restaurant's diet fully considers the tastes of the babies, and the chefs use their dexterous hands and professional knowledge to cook nutritious delicacies for the children. During dinner, my son could open his mouth to read the English words of most ingredients, and he took the initiative to ask for review. When attending VIPKID's foreign teacher class, he couldn't wait to show his vocabulary in food, which made me very pleased.

Laser showdown

For slightly older boys, laser showdowns are definitely their favorite choice. Laser showdown is a bit like playing real-life CS, which is what children love. As soon as you enter the venue, it is like you have come to the future world. The dim environment and green lights create a sense of technology. The partitions made of inflatable toys allow children to play safely inside. The whole venue is like a maze. Children wear cool "interstellar equipment" and use laser guns to engage in a "duel" between aliens and robots. My son had a very strong sense of substitution. When he returned to the room, he improvised a short story in English, which gave me a complete surprise.

Challenges are impossible, enjoy the ultimate experience amidst the surge of adrenaline

Although a family of three generations travels together, for the young people caught in the middle, both old and young need to be taken care of. But we cannot give up our entertainment opportunities. There are a variety of interesting and exciting entertainment events on the Ocean Spectrum, which is a paradise for people like me who love to play!

Antarctic sphere

The Antarctic Sphere is located on the stern, facing the North Star in a distance, and is one of the signature projects of the Spectrum. There are four trampolines in the Antarctic Ball, allowing you to experience three exciting games: robot rally, candy jump competition and bass bodyguard. Put on VR glasses, bounce and flip on the trampoline, and experience the feeling of instantaneous weightlessness from free fall in the North Pole to the South Pole. It's really enjoyable!

Tips: Since jumping on a trampoline requires tying straps on your thighs, it is recommended to wear long pants, otherwise your thighs will be worn very painful ~

Polaris

After the exciting experience of the Antarctic ball, my feet still seemed to be shaking, and I couldn't wait to check in for the North Star again. The Polaris is the highest viewing point of the entire cruise ship. One of the two major features of the Spectrum, it can overlook the entire hull and water level 360 degrees. Although there is a fee, you must go and experience it!

Tips: Polaris is really popular! So you can imagine that there are a lot of people in line. It is recommended to download the Royal App in advance, where you can renew your contract in advance for various entertainment facilities and restaurants.

deck parachute jump

Deck skydiving on the Spectrum is a big hit. Experiencing the pleasure of soaring into the sky in a closed area of more than ten meters is an unprecedented feeling. Before experiencing it, you will watch a safety promotional video, then wear professional equipment, and you can experience it with the coach! Raise your head slightly in the hair dryer and you can see the sea level in the distance.

Tips：

1. Change into tennis shoes, sports shoes and socks before experiencing the experience. Skateboard shoes are not regulated!

2. You can't bring your accessories, you can ask your friends to help take photos outside.

3. Needless to say, it is another exciting project, so be mentally prepared!

bumper car on the sea

I was really pleasantly surprised when I learned that I could play bumper cars on the Spectrum. Come to think about it, the last time I played bumper cars was a few years ago. I was already a mother when I got on the bumper car again. Sitting in the car, holding the steering wheel with both hands, my son sitting next to me. When the two cars collided, I felt both excited and nervous, and my son shouted loudly. The game was really enjoyable.

Relax and enjoy an elegant and quiet private time

The elderly at home don't like to join in the fun and are not very interested in these exciting entertainment projects. For them, vacations are just finding a quiet place to enjoy their little days. Choosing a cruise ship also takes this issue into account. On the Royal Caribbean Ocean Spectrum, you can have fun with friends from all over the world, or you can quietly enjoy the flow of time.

Deluxe Family room

The elderly spend most of their time on the boat in their rooms. No wonder we stayed in a balcony room with sea view that had everything possible, allowing us to enjoy a luxurious experience without leaving home. In the sea view balcony room, both the elderly and children can live here with peace of mind. The room is fully equipped and all the necessary items are equipped. You can see the endless sea through the window. When the sun sets, the old people sit on the deck chairs on the balcony and listen to the seagulls sing. It's really comfortable.

In addition, the Ocean Spectrum also has a duplex perfect family suite with an area of 261 square meters. The Perfect Family Suite consists of three separate bedrooms, a private space for 11 people from three generations to live in. There is a children's play space on the second floor and a children's slide that leads directly to the living room downstairs. The entertainment audio and video room is equipped with karaoke and full surround sound equipment for the whole family to enjoy happy times. It's really tempting to think about it ~

indoor and outdoor swimming pool

Since it is a sea trip, of course, playing in the water is indispensable. There are two types of indoor and outdoor swimming pools on the Ocean Spectrum. The water in the swimming pool is very clean and crystal clear. There are rows of recliners next to the swimming pool. The sun shines in through the huge glass roof, making the entire swimming pool so bright. The elderly people at home like to go for a walk by the pool in the evening when the sun is not so strong. After taking a soak in the water, they lie on the recliner by the pool to blow in the sea breeze. Sometimes we accompany them and the children are playing in the water, so we chat together. I'm busy with work, so there's really not much time for my family to get together like this. Talking together is also a precious family time!

When a family of three generations travels together, whether it is children, the elderly or as young people, we can all find our own happiness on the Spectrum. I quietly tell everyone that there are now discounts on booking on the official website, as well as official booking calls and Weixin Mini Programs and other channels.
