The Sweetest Bathrooms at Sea

By -

Most cruise ship bathrooms are designed to be functional and efficient – giving you all of the essentials, even though they’re contained in a small space. And that’s fine with lots of cruise fans. After all, many don’t spend much time in their cabins or their bathrooms, because they spend as much time as they can on shore and enjoying spaces all around the ship.

But if you enjoy luxuriating in a bath with ample space and high-end amenities, you can find one on a cruise ship (usually attached to a suite). Here’s a look at some of the truly opulent bathrooms at sea.

The heated floors in Viking Cruises’ Explorer Suite bathrooms will keep your toes cozy; the towel racks are heated, too. There are beautiful dual sinks and large shower enclosures that include full-size bathtubs. Explorer Suites are on all of Viking’s ships, both river-going and ocean-going.

If you and your cruise companion are used to having your own bathroom spaces at home, check out the Grand Duplex Suites on Cunard Lines’ Queen Mary 2. These two-level suites have space for two marble-clad toilet areas, complete with bidets, as well as a spacious walk-in shower and full-size, elevated bathtub. And, it’s all connected with two separate dressing areas.

Celebrity Cruises’ Reflection Suite – found only on the Celebrity Reflection – is a two-bedroom suite with an incredible primary bathroom. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide stunning views, and the glass-walled shower actually cantilevers over the side of the ship. And if this suite’s full-size, jetted bathtub isn’t enough, there’s another one on the veranda.

Several Royal Caribbean ships feature the Royal Loft Suite, a two-bedroom suite with a showstopping primary bathroom. A tiled enclosure with a large soaking tub and multiple shower heads overlooks the water, while a separate toilet enclosure also houses a bidet.

If you’re traveling with several family members or friends, The Haven suite complexes aboard Norwegian Cruise Line’s Jewel-Class ships offer three-bedroom Garden Villas with gorgeous bathrooms. The primary bathroom features twin sinks, a separate vanity for hair and makeup, a full-size bathtub near an expansive window, and a large walk-in shower.

Luxury cruise lines like Regent Seven Seas, Seabourn Cruises, Crystal Cruises, and more are also known for some fabulous ensuite bathrooms. You can learn more about all of the options for treating yourself to a “sweet” bath on your next cruise from Anita, your professional travel advisor.

Dining With the Kids

By -
One part of cruising that everyone looks forward to is onboard dining. But if you’re cruising with children, you may wonder how well the ship will meet their gastronomic needs. In short, don’t worry. Cruise ship chefs and servers know how to work with diners who might be a bit fussy, a little messy, and always hungry. One aspect of cruise ship dining that’s great for kids is the variety of dining spots and food available. Most ships have at least two dining options – a main dining room and a buffet – as well as themed or specialty dining venues (some ships have dozens of these). The main dining room offers sit-down, multicourse breakfasts, lunches and dinners for all ages. Some offer special children’s menus, but kids are welcome to order from the regular menu, too. If your child doesn’t find the menu appealing, get creative. Ask for a side dish as main plate; for a different preparation, such as chicken that’s fried instead of grilled; or for an unfamiliar sauce or despised vegeta...

Sailing on a Ship Within a Ship

By -
Is a “ship within a ship” for you? Usually found on larger cruise ships, a ship-within-a-ship provides a higher level of service and dedicated spaces for passengers who sail in designated cabins. The spaces might include a luxury pool, lounge, and restaurant that are separated from the bustle of the rest of the ship. While ship-within-a-ship guests are welcome all around the vessel, only they can use the exclusive spaces. They may also qualify for special amenities like complimentary or discounted beverages, Wi-Fi access, spa treatments, concierge services, and more. Cunard Line was the very first to offer a ship-within-a-ship concept for suite guests. On all of Cunard’s ships, suite guests have exclusive access to either the Queen’s Grill or Princess Grill restaurants. They also enjoy concierge services and exclusive access to the Grills Lounge and Grills Terrace. Norwegian Cruise Line’s The Haven occupies a defined zone on some of the line’s ships, with cabins ranging from delu...
