Five Royal Caribbean Cruise Ships Compilation Video

Please click the video headline and watch it on YouTube, so you can use the timeline chapters.

This is a Royal Caribbean cruise compilation combining five cruises together in one video. This is by far the most ambitious video I have edited to date, but after our 2020 Royal Caribbean cruise from Barcelona to Copenhagen was cancelled, I started going through our video footage from previous cruises and decided to start pulling out all the clips that aren't included in our shorter cruise videos, all those extended scenes that had to be cut short can now be seen, and many hours later the footage now has a place to live on YouTube, which makes me very happy, even though it's almost an hour long.

Please use the chapeters in the timeline, by watching this video on YouTube rather than this website, to navigate to certain Royal Caribbean cruise ships, cities or cruise entertainment highlights.

We pondered over "five cruises in five years", because 2014 to 2019 is actually six years if you count 2014 as 1, but if you minus 5 years from 2019, you get to 2014... 5 year plan successfully completed either way :)

As Royal Caribbean say, I guess we are 'loyal to royal', We worked hard, saved hard and travelled hard, which is not that easy using South African currency, we're both very grateful for these experiences and love cruising, as we get to see multiple places in one overseas trip. Cruising is also pretty stress free, if you get the drinks package, everything is basically bottomless onboard in terms of food and drink, plus the only thing you need to carry is a small plastic card (Seapass card), no wallet, no cell phone and everything you need is around you.

The general vibe onboard is a safe space, so swimming and leaving the camera and bag on the lounger is no sweat and people are generatlly awesome - you meet people from all over the world and we've met South Africans on every cruise. Hopefully one day, the world and travel industry will return to normal.

Baltic Cruise on Royal Caribbean in Summer 2019

Decided to venture far north this time to Scandinavia, we sailed from Stockholm, Sweden to Russia onboard Royal Caribbean's Serenade of the Seas. We spent two nights in port at St Petersburg before heading to Helsinki, Finland and then onto Tallinn, Estonia. The final stop was Visby, Gotland, whereafter we spent two nights in Stockholm. Days stretched to 11pm with sunlight, it was amazing.

Symphony Of The Seas - World's Biggest Cruise Ship

We embarked Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas in Rome and set-off on a 7 day cruise in the Mediterranean. We traveled to Italy, Spain and France - visiting: Naples and the island of Capri, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Marseille and finally Florence.

This is not only the biggest cruise ship in the world at present, but also has the highest diving platform and dry slide at sea. She is new, having had her maiden voyage on the 7th of April 2018. The ship is divided into seven neighborhoods, one being Central Park which has over 20 000 live plants and trees. It takes 2200 crew members in addition to it's 5518 passengers (up to 6680 passengers at double occupancy). It cost $1.35 billion to build, has 18 decks and is 72.5m high.

This is how I made the video intro.

Cruise From China Around Japan - Royal Caribbean

We boarded a cruise from Shanghai, China. Sailed the next 6 days on a remarkable experience around the south west coast of Japan to Sakaiminato, Fakoaka and Kumamoto on Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas. A technologically unique cruise ship with the world's highest view point at sea, skydiving and robotic barmen. After the cruise we spent one night in central Shanghai.

Vision of the Seas - Our Royal Caribbean Cruise

We boarded Royal Caribbean's Vision of the Seas in Venice for a 7 night cruise around Greece. Vision of the Seas and the Royal Caribbean vibe was as fantastic as our previous holiday and the destinations on this cruise were incredible.

Here is where we went:

Kotor – very scenic port arrival. Strolled the town and walked around the old city.

Corfu – walked around the old city and swam near the yacht club below the old city.

Athens – took a Royal Caribbean shore excursion which included the Acropolis and Plaka. Worth doing a tour here.

Mykonos - hired a scooter for 20 Euros and explored the beautiful island and its beaches. It's a small island, so you can cover a lot in a day. A definite highlight of the cruise.

Argostoli - our last stop, situated on the island of Kefalonia. The Royal Caribbean tour is recommended as the island is large involving lots of travel time to the sights. The Melissani Cave is amazing, floating on bright blue water.

Venice - the start and end of our Royal Caribbean, Vision of the Seas cruise, but we were lucky enough to spend 2 days in Venice afterwards. We walked about 45kms in those 2 days. St Mark's Square, Bridge of Sighs, Riolto Bridge and other sights are great, but almost every corner in Venice is photo worthy. A Gondola ride is expensive, but it was great to have been in one. Overall Venice has so much charm.
