SPICE OF HISTORY

Set sail on a Southern Caribbean cruise and explore the kaleidoscope of cultural influences that make up the area.

When you dock in Martinique , make your way to the Chateau Dubuc. The ruins date back to the 17th century and have a colorful history.

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Southern Caribbean Cruises Insider

The great thing about a Southern Caribbean cruise is that you aren't limited by the seasons.

You can get off the beaten path in Curacao , too, and explore underground lakes and caves. Balance out the excitement by relaxing on a beach in St. Croix where the sand is soft and white.

Royal Caribbean shares big 2024 plans passengers will love

Royal Caribbean knows how to make an entrance.

Icon of the Seas entered the market as a celebrity after what seemed like a year of hype videos and anticipation. It helped that the world's largest cruise ship took the cruise line's Oasis-Class innovations to the next level.

Related: Royal Caribbean quietly fixes 3 big passenger pain points

It was a white-paper build — a ship that literally started as a blank piece of paper — but the cruise line allowed its design team to borrow the best features from other ships. 

That's why Icon of the Seas has returning favorites like Playmakers, Schooner Bar, and an enhanced Central Park alongside numerous new features like the Pearl, the indoor AquaDome, and the new Surfside family neighborhood.

Royal Caribbean created something truly new that's also familiar. The cruise line also fixed pain points like elevator queues and not having views of the ocean on public decks.

Icon of the Seas, however, was not the cruise line's only innovation over the past year. Royal Caribbean also added the adults-only Hideaway Beach to its Perfect Day at CocoCay private island and has plans for two private Beach Clubs, one in Nassau and one in Cozumel.

Royal Caribbean has a simple formula that drives its plans moving forward.

Royal Caribbean has a bold plan

Royal Caribbean Chief Executive Jason Liberty laid out the company's plans for its namesake brand during its fourth-quarter-earnings call .

"Our proven formula for success remains unchanged. Moderate capacity growth, moderate yield growth, and strong cost controls lead to enhanced margins, profitability, and superior financial performance," he said. 

"Our operating platform is bigger and stronger than ever. We have the leading brands in their respective segments, the best people, and the best and most innovative fleet and destinations,"

The CEO says its newer ships and Perfect Day at CocoCay give it a major edge.

"We remain intensely focused on delivering a lifetime of vacations for our guests and long-term value for our shareholders," the executive said. "We are leading the vacation industry and creating exciting new products and experiences, which in 2024 include game-changing ships and the expansion of our highly rated destination, Perfect Day at CocoCay." 

Icon of the Seas, he noted, has been a star revenue driver.

"Our new ships are performing exceptionally well. And while we always expect to see strong trends when we introduce new ships, Icon of the Seas is definitely living up to her name and has taken things to a whole new level in every way," Liberty said.

New ships drive battle vs. land-based vacations

Utopia of the Seas will sail three- and four-day itineraries out of Port Canaveral, the first time the cruise line had dedicated a new ship to shorter sailings.

"Demand and pricing for Icon has been incredibly strong. This year, we are also thrilled to take delivery of the sixth Oasis class ship, Utopia of the Seas, which will set the stage for the ultimate weekend getaway," the CEO added.

The challenge, he said, is not stealing share from other cruise lines but in competing with land-based vacations.

"New ships and their incredible innovative experiences further accelerate our efforts to steal market share from land-based vacations," Liberty said.

Coco Cay is a big part of that plan.

"We completed the expansion of Hideaway Beach at Perfect Day at CocoCay just in time to welcome Icon of the Seas, upsizing the benefit of this strategic asset," Liberty said. "Hideaway Beach is our newest adult-only ultimate beachfront paradise at Perfect Day at CocoCay, which expands our capacity on the island to over three million guests annually."

Perfect Day at CocoCay has the highest passenger rating of any Royal Caribbean destination. The cruise line plans to build on that popularity.

"About two-thirds of Royal Caribbean International Caribbean guests will visit Perfect Day at CocoCay this year, allowing us to deliver high satisfaction scores and higher margins across the fleet," Liberty said.

I spent $2,000 for 7 nights in a 179-square-foot room on one of the world's largest cruise ships. Take a look inside my cabin.

• I booked a stateroom on Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas, one of the biggest cruise ships.
• For $2,000 a week, the 179-square-foot cabin had a private bathroom, a king-size bed, and a view.
• I thought I'd feel cramped in the room, but it had everything I needed and left no space unused.

In April 2022, I cruised on board Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas . At the time, it was the largest cruise ship in the world , but the title has since been replaced by Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas .

During my voyage, the ship sailed to Roatán, Honduras; Cozumel and Costa Maya in Mexico; and Royal Caribbean's private island in the Bahamas .

For $2,000, I spent seven nights in an ocean-view stateroom on deck eight. The cruise was on sale, as it was originally priced at $3,000. Take a look inside the 179-square-foot space.

My room was a mid-tier cabin at the front of deck eight.

I booked a mid-tier room — a step above interior staterooms , which have no window. It's a category below staterooms with a balcony , and two steps below a suite.

My cabin was on the same deck as Central Park, an outdoor space with 20,000 plants.

I thought it was the most relaxing area on the ship, so I enjoyed being close by.

When I stepped inside my stateroom, I was surprised at how big it felt.

Right away, I thought the cabin made great use of a small space.

To operate most of the electricity in the room, I had to insert my room key into a slot on the wall.

I appreciated the energy-saving system.

On one side of the room, I had a mirror and a desk with several outlets to charge electronics with USB, American, and European ports.

I thought the desk was useful for eating, as well as storing daily flyers about the day's events.

Next to the desk, a set of drawers included a cabinet with a minifridge inside.

The desk drawers were mostly empty aside from a hair dryer, which I didn't end up using.

Across from the desk, I had a couch positioned in between two closets.

Inside each closet, I found a rack of hangers, shelving, and a small safe. I thought it was plenty of space for a weeklong journey

Next to the couch and desk area, a small bathroom used clever storage hacks, like placing the trash can and toilet paper under the counter.

In the bathroom, there were two glasses, a bar of soap, and a two-in-one hair and body wash.

At the top of the shower, a pullout clothing line was useful for drying my bathing suits.

Each night, my stateroom attendant replenished towels and brought flyers and schedules for the next day.

Sometimes, the towels were folded creatively to look like animals.

I noticed that my king-size bed at the back of the room was actually two twin beds pushed together.

All Royal Caribbean cabins come with this configuration, according to its website , so they may be separated for additional guests. I often woke up in the crevice.

A large flat-screen TV was mounted across from the bed with storage hooks below.

Skinny nightstands on either side of the bed held lamps, charging ports, and a room phone on one side.

Because I booked an ocean-view room, I was able to look out over the front of the ship from a window above my bed.

The window was equipped with an electronic shade that could be opened during the day for grand views and closed when I was ready to sleep.

While I thought the room might have been a tight space for a couple with a lot of luggage or a family, it was just right for me.

And watching the sun rise over the Caribbean Sea from the comfort of my room was the best part.
