Booking a pre- or post-cruise hotel just got easier for Royal Caribbean's sister brand.
Celebrity Cruises announced its new Hotels by Celebrity option, where guests can book a four- or five-star hotel along with their cruise. There is no limit to the duration of how many nights you can book.
While the program is now available for Celebrity Cruises only, it may be coming to Royal Caribbean too. Jessica Suchman, Celebrity's Sales Training and Development Specialist, told travel agents in a webinar, "this will be a tool for all of our brands at Royal Caribbean Group, but we're beginning here with Celebrity Cruises."
In order to book a hotel through the program, you need to have a Celebrity Cruises reservation number.
The program offers refundable hotel booking options.
You may reserve up to 9 rooms at a time, provided they all have the same check-in and check-out dates. For a booking of 5-9 rooms a different name for each room is required.
Within the results, guests can view the amenities for each specific hotel, and even filter by amenity and star level to further refine the search.
Offering hotels for before or after their cruise is an addition to the pre-existing option to book airfare for cruise guests.
Royal Caribbean Group has offered airfare booking through the cruise lines for years via the Air2Sea website.
With added health protocols, spending a night or two in the departure city before the cruise begins has never been more important, and offering a hotel booking option offers a more complete vacation planning tool for guests.

Is there a question or two you aren't sure about Royal Caribbean's newest cruise ship?
Wonder of the Seas is about to begin her inaugural season, and there's plenty of people who are excited to it out. New ships are always exciting because they offer the latest and greatest. Plus, people want to know what makes this ship different from others in the fleet.
Every ship in Royal Caribbean's fleet stands out from others in at least a few ways, and Wonder certainly has a lot of new additions and distinguishing features.
After scouring commonly asked questions on Google, here are some of the top questions people are searching for on the internet about Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas.
Yes, Wonder of the Seas is slightly larger than Symphony of the Seas, making her the biggest cruise ship in the world.
By bigger, we're talking about her gross tonnage, which is a nonlinear way to measure a ship's overall internal volume.
Wonder of the Seas is 236,857 gross tons, whereas Symphony comes in at 228,081.

Now that we know Wonder of the Seas is the biggest cruise ship in the world, how big is she exactly?
The new ship will be 1,188 feet long and 210 feet wide.
Wonder has a capacity of 5,734 passengers at double occupancy.
There are 18 decks and 2,867 staterooms to choose from, including interiors, balcony rooms, and suites.
An interesting fact about Wonder of the Seas is that there will actually be less suites on Wonder of the Seas than other Oasis Class ships.
Why are there less suites? In order to make room for the new Suite Neighborhood, the amount of suites had to be cut back so there could be room for it all.

The construction cost to build Wonder of the Seas came out to 1.2 billion Euros or $1.35 billion.
The ship was built at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Naizaire, France.
The first sailing with passengers of Wonder of the Seas is scheduled for March 4, 2022.
Wonder will spend just two months offering cruises from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida before heading over to Europe for a summer season.
Once in Europe, Wonder of the Seas will sail from Barcelona, Spain and Rome between April and October 2022.
After that, Wonder returns to the United States to offer year-round sailings from Port Canaveral, Florida in November 2022.
There are more than 20 different places to eat on Wonder of the Seas. Some are included with your cruise fare, while others will cost extra.

Among the many restaurants on Wonder of the Seas, there is a brand new dining option in The Mason Jar Southern Restaurant & Bar.
The Mason Jar will serve Southern staples, beginning with freshly baked buttermilk biscuits and jalapeno cornbread. Brunch offers range from savory johnnycakes topped with barbeque pulled pork to the Sweet-Tooth Cinnamon Roll.
You will also find Italian classics at Giovanni's Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar to American sports bar favorites at Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade, to New England-inspired dishes at Hooked Seafood.
Other Wonder of the Seas options include Wonderland, Asian-inspired flavors at Izumi, American steakhouse Chops Grille, American seasonal dishes at 150 Central Park, Johnny Rockets, Starbucks, Sugar Beach and more.
Here is a full list of restaurants on Wonder of the Seas:
Royal Caribbean has not yet announced the entertainment lineup for Wonder of the Seas.
In fact, it is not yet clear if there will be a Broadway show onboard Wonder of the Seas, although other Oasis Class ships have all had Broadway shows onboard.
Yes, but it is not clear when app support will become available for Wonder of the Seas.
Without question, Wonder of the Seas will have app support before her first sailing. However, Royal Caribbean has yet to enable Wonder in the app, which also means the ability to check-in for the cruise remains unavailable.

Royal Caribbean has not yet announced the ceremonial role of the ship's godmother.
It is likely the godmother will be revealed closer to the official ship's christening, which has also not been announced yet.
A new feature for any Oasis Class ship is the Vue, which is a new cantilevered bar.
Royal Caribbean says the Vue will offer panoramic ocean views by day and a colorful mosaic canopy overhead by night.
The Vue is located on Deck 15 forward in the Solarium, and is where you would find the cantilevered hot tubs on other Oasis Class ships.
Wonder of the Seas is the first Oasis Class ship to have an eighth neighborhood, with the addition of the Suite Neighborhood.
Located midship across decks 16, 17, and 18, the new Suite Neighborhood wraps around the funnel.
Suite guests will have a private sun deck on deck 18 to enjoy at their leisure, which offers a view of the back of the ship. There are also loungers and various seating options near an exclusive plunge pool and bar.
Like all Oasis Class ships, suite guests also can dine at Coastal Kitchen for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (Junior Suite passengers can only dine at Coastal Kitchen for dinner). Coastal Kitchen is a complimentary restaurant for suite guests that offers a Mediterranean-Californian fusion menu that changes daily.

Three weeks after Royal Caribbean was forced to cancel three sailings on Symphony of the Seas, the ship is back in service.
In early January, Royal Caribbean announced four of its cruise ships would either cancel cruises or remain out of service for a while longer due to a rise in Covid-19 cases, largely due to the Omicron variant.
On Saturday, the first of these ships returned to service without any further delays.
Symphony of the Seas departed PortMiami on a 7-night Western Caribbean itinerary that includes a stop at Perfect Day at CocoCay.
According to reports from onboard Symphony, there are 2,937 passengers on this sailing.
When Royal Caribbean cancelled the Symphony sailings, it said it did so, "as a result of the ongoing COVID-related circumstances around the world, and in an abundance of caution."
Royal Caribbean International Senior Vice President of Hotel Operations, Mark Tamis, told The Points Guy last month the cancelled cruises gave the cruise line an opportunity to take care of crew members and give passengers a better experience, "“One is [that] crew who test positive and are asymptomatic are able to serve their quarantine period on one of these ships."
"It also allows us to have these additional crew members who then can supplement the crew who are not able to work for those 10 days in order to make sure that we’re able to deliver a great vacation and a full experience — all the while protecting our guests, our crew, the ships and the places that we visit, as we have done since our healthy return to service."

When Symphony of the Seas ceased operations, she was the largest cruise ship in the world. Today, she has been supplanted by sister vessel Wonder of the Seas.
RoyalCaribbeanBlog reader Robert Jaworski is onboard Symphony of the Seas and shared photos from around the ship.
When Royal Caribbean cancelled cruises on four ships last month, they did so in order to minimize the overall impact to the fleet.
The four ships included:
With Symphony back in service, the other three ships will also return to service in the next month or so.
Serenade of the Seas was already scheduled to go in for a short dry dock, so Royal Caribbean combined her cancelled cruises with the upcoming refurbishment.
Vision of the Seas had not yet returned to service when her debut was pushed back.
Royal Caribbean Group will release its fourth quarter financial results later this week, which will provide insight into many aspects of their business right now.
While quarterly results are primarily focused on sharing the financial health of a company, there is usually insight into the direction Royal Caribbean is going in and even answers to some questions many have about what to expect next.
As Royal Caribbean is still recovering from the cruise industry shutdown of 2020-2021, there are short-term and long-term concerns investors and cruise fans have about cruising.
Royal Caribbean Group will host their call at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, Friday, February 4, 2022.
Executives will start the call off with prepared statements about the outlook they have for the near-term future, but the majority of the call is question and answer between Wall Street analysts and the executives. Many times, these questions are of equal interest to cruise fans as they are to investors.
To get a sense of the questions and concerns Wall Street has for Royal Caribbean, I reached out to Dan Kline, Managing Editor, TheStreet.
There should be a prop bet on how many times the word "omicron" is said during the earnings call with investors, because it will be the primary topic.
From an investment standpoint, people want to know what kind of effect the Omicron variant had on Royal Caribbean's business, in terms of cancellations, cruise fare pricing, and ship capacities.
Mr. Kline will be looking closely at the short and long term impact of Omicron, "Royal Caribbean saw its comeback derailed a little bit by omicron, but the company has handled it well."
"I'm curious to see how the resurgence of the pandemic impacted the quarter and future bookings."
On December 31, 2021, Royal Caribbean Group said they "experienced a decline in bookings and increased cancellations for near-term sailings but to a lesser degree than that experienced with the Delta variant."
How much of that changed in the month since remains to be seen.
Another indicator Mr. Kline is keen to know more about is how many bookings are the result of new cash flow versus re-using future cruise credits.
Future cruise credits (FCC) is something given out when cruises are cancelled, and to get a better sense of the company's financial state, comparing the amount of cash the company has versus FCC is another common question.
One of the major sources of revenue for Royal Caribbean has been the money guests spend onboard.
While the cruise fare covers costs, the true profit center is money spent by passengers on cruise extras, such as drink packages, shore excursions, wifi and more.
Before the pandemic, Royal Caribbean's high profit quarterly results were almost always a result of higher guest spend.
While cruise ships are still sailing at a reduced capacity, higher spending by passengers could buoy profits.
Even in the third quarter 2021 results, Total revenues per Passenger Cruise Day in the third quarter was up 12% versus record 2019 levels driven mainly by strong onboard revenue performance.
In fact, Royal Caribbean Group said onboard spending per passenger were at the highest levels in the company's history during Q3 2021.
It's no secret that cruise lines took out big loans during the shutdown to keep them afloat in 2020 and 2021, so how are they balancing those obligations to avoid defaulting on the loans?
While this concern is primarily an investment question, it also impacts the average cruise passenger since being able to pay off these loans will allow the company to remain in operation.
Mr. Kline is personally curious about Royal Caribbean's capital projects.
We know about plans to expand port projects into places like Nassau and Freeport, Bahamas, so what's the status of these projects.
Why does Wall Street care about port projects? Competitive advantage is a key metric for Mr. Kline, "I'm also very curious to hear about future investments like the Nassau project and the potential for revisiting the Freeport Grand Lucayan deal."
"I think that Royal has a huge lead on Carnival in private destinations and those two projects are fairly important."
There will be full coverage of anything intriguing that comes out of Royal Caribbean Group's fourth quarter 2021 earnings call right here on RoyalCaribbeanBlog, but if you would like to listen on your own, here's how.
The call will be available on-line at the company's investor relations website, www.rclinvestor.com.
You will be able to listen via the link provided close to the start of the call.
Going on a cruise ship means new challenges, but how can you balance vacation fun with best health practices?
Covid-19 has changed not just the protocols onboard cruise ships, but how guests approach vacation. So what should you do to better protect yourself along the way?
Since I'm not any kind of health expert, I reached out to Dr. Anthony Harris, M.D, M.B.A, M.P.H. to share his recommendations.
Dr. Harris is the CEO of Hfit Health, where he focuses on how to keep the workforce healthy and the public in general healthy from an exposure standpoint. His company has worked as a corporate medical director with multiple Fortune 50 Fortune 100 companies during the pandemic.
Most importantly, Dr. Harris has kept tabs on the best ways to travel safely with updated regulations.
Since face masks are required by Royal Caribbean (and other cruise lines) while indoors, your best bet is wear a K95 or KN95 mask.
While these masks are meant to be disposable, Dr. Harris says it's possible to wear them multiple times, "If we're talking about how long, it depends on how often and what environment you're wearing the mask. If they become soiled with either water or different materials, then you want to evaluate and make sure that it's not preventing the mask from performing normally."
"If your mask has not been any tremendous soil scenario, throw it in a paper bag and it'll be nice and fresh for you in the morning."
Moreover, you want to ensure you have enough masks for the entire cruise, "Don't bring just one. Bring some backups."

While Royal Caribbean has instituted changes onboard its cruise ships to keep passengers spaced apart, you can avoid being close to other people when possible.
"Be mindful that if you don't have to be elbow and elbow with someone as you're sitting and talking about and enjoying the the views over the bow."
When possible, try to spend more time outside than inside.
"We know that being outdoors dramatically decreases your risk of transmission," Dr. Harris recommended. "You're outdoors, you can be a little bit more open in terms of your social distancing and your risk goes down."
Dr. Harris said the reason why being outdoors is important is air movement. Covid is an airborne illness, and Dr. Harris says studies have shown the more air movement you have, the better you are in regards to your risk of transmission.
While you are indoors, Royal Caribbean has already adopted an air flow strategy that mirrors what Dr. Harris recommends, "a standard that we use in health care and facilities is about six times an hour."
Royal Caribbean adjusted shipboard settings to allow for the maximum air changes per hour and upgrading to MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) 13 filters throughout the system.
In fact, Royal Caribbean says outside air is pulled in as existing air indoors is exhausted on the opposite side of the ship 15-20 times per hour (and up to 12 times in staterooms). That's twice more than what Dr. Harris recommended.
The bottom line for Dr. Harris is just being aware of your surroundings, " be mindful, but don't be fearful, particularly when you're in those settings where you have adequate air movement to reduce your risk."

If you should start feeling less than great, you call the medical center onboard.
"Don't hesitate if you should start having any symptoms whatsoever to go and get tested while you're on the cruise."
"You're going to protect the everyone else that's on the on the cruise with you, and you're going to allow the majority of people to enjoy their time without concern or fear around transmission."
Read more: What happens after testing positive for Covid on Royal Caribbean cruise ship
I asked Dr. Harris about a concern a number of cruise fans have about testing positive well after recovering from Covid in a PCR test.
RoyalCaribbeanBlog.com reader Mark Elliott posted last week on our message boards what to do about taking a test months after you had Covid without getting a positive result.
Other readers recommended an antigen test instead of a PCR test, but is that a good idea?
Dr. Harris confirmed Mark's initial concern, "PCR can show that someone is positive for COVID beyond their period of infective infectiousness."
"If you're 10 days after the onset of your symptoms, you are generally no longer infected or infectious. And that's the standard that CDC still has that we use in the clinical community."
If you're past the 10 day period, Dr. Harris said an antigen test is fine, "After that 10 day period, if you can show, and if it's acceptable, a negative rapid test, that's okay."
"Because, again, you're not putting people at risk if you're outside that that time window in terms of exposure to others."
Assuming you go through your cruise vacation and get home without feeling sick at all, should you still take a Covid test?
Dr. Harris says the answer depends on your situation, "Should everyone test as soon as they get home? Perhaps not."
"You live alone. You're not going to be around anybody with vulnerable predispositions, then you may not need to test."
"But certainly, if you're coming home to grandma and your 90 year old mother or somebody with pre-existing condition...then it's reasonable to go ahead and test."
When should you test exactly after your cruise? Dr. Harris says a test immediately and a few days later makes sense.
He recommends a test when you get home, and then again three days later.
Dr. Harris emphasized testing after the cruise is only necessary for some people, not for everybody, but definitely consider it if you have people in your household who may have pre-existing conditions."
What if you take your Covid test before the cruise and you test positive before you ever board?
Dr. Harris says the first thing to do is test again, "Is it a true positive? There are still some false positives out there. And so consider getting a second test."
If the second test comes back positive again, then you want to quarantine yourself. Dr. Harris recommends looking for an Airbnb instead of a hotel room for the comfort level it provides.
"Certainly protecting others in that scenario means you're not getting on the plane to travel back to your house while you have a positive result from Covid, staying in place, and using the new guidelines."
After five days, if you test again and you're negative, you're good to travel home.

One of the first Royal Caribbean cruise ships has been scrapped.
According to a report by The Maritime Executive, the ship formerly known as the Sun Viking was beached this week in Pakistan to be broken up and recycled.
The ship had mostly recently been operating as the Oriental Dragon, where she operated as a a gambling ship in Hong Kong and Penang, Malaysia.
Sun Viking was one of the three original cruise ships ordered by Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines as part of their early fleet.
Sun Viking was the last of the original Royal Caribbean ships to launch when the company was first formed in the early 1970s.
With two vessels in service, Royal Caribbean waited another year for its third. Her first keel plates had been laid on May 18, 1971, with completion scheduled for December of the following year.
Photo by Glenmore1971
Contractually, Sun Viking's general arrangement differed from that of her predecessors. Although her underwater dimensions were identical, forward above the waterline she had been changed. The bow was a deck higher, allowing seven more passenger cabins.
The bridge screen as well as the verandas flanking the pool had been given a rounder, more streamlined form, and the painted blue waist encircling the hull has been raised, nestling directly beneath the public-view rooms. Her external look was, admittedly, more "massive" than the first two, but overall, the profile seemed an improvement.
The ship was 18,000 tons (compared to Wonder of the Seas, which has a gross tonnage of 236,857t) and had a capacity of 724 passengers.
She was named Sun Viking by Bergljot Skaugen, who was Sigurd Skaugen's wife. Sigurd Skaugen was one of the Norwegian families that formed Royal Caribbean in the late 1960s.
Photo by Terry Hammonds
She entered service in 1972, and like Song of Norway and Nordic Prince, was purpose built for Caribbean cruising instead of being a converted ferry or ocean liner.
Sun Viking would not only sail the Caribbean waters, but also offered 7-night cruises to the Mexican Riviera as well as being homeported from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Photo by Joseph Hollick
She would sail with Royal Caribbean for 26 years until the late 1990s when she was sold to Star Cruises.
The last Sun Viking cruise sailed in 1998.
She was renamed the SuperStar Sagittarius, and then went on to operate and be sold to other lines as a gambling ship.
She was later renamed Hyundai Pongnae in 2003, sailing for the Hyundai Merchant Marine Company, before being renamed Omar III for Asia Cruises
Her final years were spent in Penang, Malaysia.
Spectrum of the Seas will shift to offer cruises from Singapore in Spring 2022.
Royal Caribbean announced Spectrum of the Seas will sail from Singapore beginning April 11, 2022.
This move means Spectrum will begin sailings six months earlier than originally scheduled.
The ship will offer 3- and 4-night "cruises to nowhere". Bookings are now open for reservations.
"We know that vacation time is precious and choosing how to spend it is more important than ever, which is why we are thrilled to welcome Spectrum of the Seas – one of the most advanced ships in the world, to Singapore in April – making Singapore the cruising destination of choice," said Angie Stephen, vice president and managing director, Asia-Pacific, Royal Caribbean International.
"We have seen incredible demand for Royal Caribbean cruise holidays in Singapore. Having hosted more than 178,000 Singapore residents since we restarted cruising, bringing Spectrum six months early is truly exciting. The combination of experiences specially designed for the Asian market, together with signature Royal Caribbean favourites on board, will make Spectrum a huge hit."
Spectrum changed homeports because Hong Kong began forcing Royal Caribbean to cancel sailings. Instead, she will shift to Singapore.
The arrival of Spectrum of the Seas will also mean a Royal Caribbean ship will remain in Singapore when Quantum of the Seas moves to Alaska for the summer 2022 cruise season.
Spectrum is the first Quantum Ultra Class ship in the fleet, and has a few special offerings.
