Five new neighborhoods
Thrill Island – Vacationers can test their limits, scale new heights and reach top speeds. This adventure is home to highlights such as Category 6, the largest water park at sea, with six record-breaking slides: Pressure Drop and its 66-degree incline make it the industry's first free-fall open slide; the 14 meter high Frightening Bolt, the highest drop slide at sea; Storm Surge and Hurricane Hunter, the first offshore family slides with four passengers per raft; and Storm Chasers, the cruise ship's first mat racing duo. Living on the edge takes on new meaning with Crown's Edge, which, from the catwalk, part of the ropes course and the attraction,
Chill Island – There's a pool for every mood, each with prime ocean views: Swim & Tonic, the line's first swim-up bar at sea; Royal Bay Pool, the largest pool in the sea; Cloud 17, an adults-only haven; and the serene Cove Pool, with its infinity edge. In addition, The Lime & Coconut returns with four locations, including Royal Caribbean's first frozen cocktail bar.
Surfside – A neighborhood made for young families through and through, where adults and kids six and under will want to stay all day. Adults can enjoy the endless views at Water's Edge Pool, while keeping an eye on the kids at Splashaway Bay and Baby Bay.
The Hideaway – This neighborhood 40 meters above the ocean combines the world's beach clubs and uninterrupted ocean views that only a cruise ship can offer, with the world's first infinity pool suspended in the sea.
AquaDome – During the day, in an oasis of tranquility, guests can enjoy views of the ocean and a stunning waterfall. At night, it becomes a great place to go out, with restaurants, bars and the cruise line's water shows at the AquaTheater.
