All about Voyager Class cruise ships

voyager cruise

Passengers need to be fairly agile because there are no elevators linking Voyager's five passenger decks, and the ship uses two Zodiacs as tenders. However, Zodiac loading and unloading is swift, and waits are blissfully minimal. Dining options also differ across the Voyager class, with Navigator of the Seas, Mariner of the Seas and Explorer of the Seas having the widest selection. All five have Chops Grille, and four have Giovanni's Table (Mariner is soon to lose its version). As of spring 2018, Explorer and Mariner will be the only ships to offer Jamie's Italian, while Navigator has Sabor. All but Adventure have Izumi (though Mariner's Izumi will be the only one with a hibachi grill element).

In fact, Voyager, Explorer, and Navigator of the Seas were considered the largest cruise ships in the world when they were built. Like the Freedom-class ships, Voyager-class vessels are best for cruisers who want an active cruise experience without having to be on a massive ship. The 1999-built Voyager of the Seas cruise ship is the first Voyager-class Royal Caribbean liner, followed by the sisterships Adventure OTS, Explorer OTS, Navigator OTS, Mariner OTS.

Differences Among Voyager-Class Ships

Whether you're in the Peek-a-Boo shower inside, or rinsing off on the Peek-a-View shower outside, the ecstasy-inducing sea views pulse through every part of the design of this suite. There were also a lot of bridal parties and recently married couples celebrating. Like most cruises that leave from Galveston, we visited the Western Caribbean. Other cruises from Galveston also visit destinations like Roatan, Honduras; Nassau, Bahamas; Belize City, Belize; and even Royal Caribbean’s private island Perfect Day at CocoCay.

Explorer of the Seas

Voyager Class ships offer waterslides, FlowRiders, mini golf, rock climbing, pools, live music, ice skating shows, and more. Each ship’s pool deck also has a bar in the main pool area and another  bar on the running track deck which offers nice views of the pool and ocean. Royal Caribbean’s Voyager Class cruise ships can be a nice choice for first-time or seasoned cruisers. They come with plenty to do, see, eat, and drink onboard, and offer a diverse range of itineraries around the world. While this is an older vessel (it was built in 1999), Royal Caribbean’s Voyager of the Seas underwent a $97-million refurbishment in 2019. In addition, the spa and gym were updated, and new Inside and Balcony cabins were added.

On embarkation day, we requested a Lyft and made our way to Galveston. During the drive, we were able to complete the mandatory safety briefing, so this was a great way to make the hour-long drive go by faster. After flying into Houston, my dad and I decided to get a hotel in the area and then the next day, we would get an Uber or Lyft to Galveston. We got a hotel in Houston because it was approximately $50 cheaper than staying in Galveston.

Gazing out at the waves every morning, this is the closest you can get to the ocean (without the windblown hair). Sun-drenched terrace yoga with new friends or (extra) dirty martinis at the full bar inside? After at least minutes of waiting around, I tried to request an Uber instead. Within just a few minutes, an Uber picked my request and picked us up. Like the embarkation process, disembarking Voyager of the Seas was straightforward. We easily found our luggage and then we did the facial recognition scan.

Decks and Cabins

Combine affordable cabins with loads of free activities and an even number of complimentary and for-a-fee restaurants, and it's no surprise Voyager of the Seas is a hit with budget-conscious travelers. You don't need to spend a lot to have a great time onboard this ship. The 3,258-passenger Voyager of the Seas is ideally suited to families with superb children's facilities catering to youngsters aged 6 months and up. However, there are things for cruisers of all ages to enjoy on this versatile ship.

Sea View

The boat has 15 decks, of which 14 are passenger-accessible and 9 with cabins. From sundeck yoga to experimental eateries - this vacation is yours to design. We noticed that more people participated in the formal night onboard (around 70%), but there were no tuxedos or prom dresses. When I cruised on Adventure of the Seas, my food was either a hit or miss in regards to the temperature. On the first day of our cruise, we were so excited to see that we were assigned a table right by a window in the Main Dining Room! This view was wonderful to admire every night when we had dinner.

Voyager is Royal Caribbean's first Voyager-class liner, with sisterships Adventure, Explorer, Mariner, Navigator. Voyager OTS was built in 1999 by Kvaerner Masa (Turku Finland) - shipbuilder of all vessels in this series. The company is now part of STX Europe (a division of STX Holding, South Korea). They used to call it "floating sea'" because of its innovative design. All Voyager-class liners were world's biggest - until the arrival of the Cunard liner RMS Queen Mary 2 in 2004. Four days before embarkation, my dad and I placed bids on four stateroom categories.

Emerge renewed, relaxed and rejuvenated at the new Vitality℠ Spa and Fitness Center onboard Voyager of the Seas®. After a day of exploring you will discover so much more than indulgence at our zen-like facilities. Finally, when it comes to bars and lounges, Adventure, Mariner and Navigator of the Seas have a Boleros; Explorer, Navigator and Voyager of the Seas have an R Bar; and only Navigator of the Seas has the Vintages Wine Bar.

Navigator differs the most from other Voyager Class ships in regards to her venues, layout, and decor. The Tavern bar and R Bar are bars that do not have a strong theme, but are a nice place to relax with a drink onboard. We've taken care (of taking care) of your servers, so we cover the gratuities for your onboard experiences. Stay hydrated with still and sparkling water, non-pressed juices, sodas, teas and even drip coffee. From refined dining to relaxed casual, all of our 20+ eateries featuring menus curated by Michelin star chefs are yours to enjoy.
