She's coming out: Diana Ross named godmother of Royal Caribbean's Star of the Seas
Do you know where you're going to? Star of the Seas will be Diana Ross' destination this August, as the legendary singer will serve as the Royal Caribbean ship's godmother. "I am truly honored to join the Royal Caribbean family," Ross said. "Having spent years of creating beautiful music and memories and bringing people together from all over the world, this feels like a perfect continuation of my journey, as godmother of Star of the Seas." Ross will attend the ship's naming ceremony, for which details have yet to be announced. Star of the Seas, sister ship of Icon of the Seas, will sail year-round from Port Canaveral. "We couldn't imagine a more fitting godmother for Star than Diana Ross, who is a true icon known for creating music that transcends generations while celebrating life and bringing people together," said Royal Caribbean International president Michael Bayley.

Royal Caribbean unveils 'perfect beach day' resort for cruise passengers - with world's longest lazy river and tallest water slide in America
One of the world's leading cruise brands has announced it will offer passengers the 'perfect beach day' in Mexico by creating its biggest-ever land resort - and it'll be home to an almighty waterpark, six swim-up bars and the world's largest tequila bottle. Royal Caribbean announced this week that the colourful 230 acre resort in Mexico, which passengers sailing on Western Caribbean itineraries can check into for the day, is set to open in September 2027. Cruise brands are increasingly creating private port resorts - Disney Cruise has two island resorts exclusively for passenger use and Royal Caribbean already has CocoCay in the Bahamas. However, Royal Caribbean, which has 28 liners, says Perfect Day Mexico in the port of Costa Maya will be 'bigger and bolder than anything we have done to date'. Particularly family-friendly, the resort promises those disembarking their cruise for a day the tallest water park tower in the Americas, alongside the world's longest lazy river, while is dotted with 'float-up bars' along it. Passengers can buy day passes to access the Royal Beach Club, which has 12 places to dine, all inspired by local Mexican cuisine, plus 24 bars, souvenir shops, art installations and Mariachi performances. Michael Bayley, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean said: 'We're bringing our demonstrated history of unparalleled service and revolutionary innovation – everything our vacationers know and love – into our collection of destinations that offer more locally inspired perfect days and beachfront getaways.' He added: 'Perfect Day Mexico is bigger and bolder than anything we have done to date. 'This destination will be the ultimate vacation for families, and we cannot wait to welcome adventurers from around the world to Mexico for an experience only Royal Caribbean can provide.' Younger guests will love the Bubble Up experience at the Splashwater Bay water park, which is a giant water inflatable filled with water jets. Passengers sailing out of US destinations: Galveston, New Orleans and all Florida homeports, will be able to book the day passes later this year. This week, a cruise guest shared on Reddit a 'marvellous' hack for getting off liners without having to queue. The passenger 'OhiobornCAraised' says: 'Wife and I have cruised several times. However, up until today, we have always had our luggage taken off the ship by cruise staff.' They then explain that on their most recent cruise they were instead able to pack everything they needed 'into two large suitcases and two backpacks'. The holidaymaker reveals that they then managed to be 'off the ship by 8am', adding 'getting through immigration and the cruise terminal was so smooth! 'No long lines, no big crowds to work through. It was marvellous. 10/10 experience and hope to be able to do it more in the future.' Usually cruise passengers leave their luggage outside their cabin door and staff pick it up and drop it off at the cruise terminal. Holidaymakers then collect their luggage once they've been through the disembarkation process. However, the process can be fairly slow with passengers often having to join queues to collect their belongings. Several cruise passengers agreed that carrying their own luggage had allowed them to disembark much more quickly. 'NoShameMallPretzels' writes: 'Our family rule is you have to be able to carry your own bags, so we do this almost every cruise. It's amazing.' And another guest says that carrying their own luggage makes disembarkation day much 'easier'. However, not everyone is a fan of the hack with one person warning there's a major catch to the 'marvellous' plan. 'Rainyhawk' warns: 'We did that once and couldn't get onto an elevator. They were always packed and it was too much luggage to carry down several flights of stairs. Took forever.' But one passenger has shared another hack to avoid the last day elevator queue. They explain: 'Either carry [luggage] down to the floor to exit, or take an elevator up to the top as it's easy to get elevators going up and then ride from the top down.'

ROYAL CARIBBEAN GIVES THRILLING FIRST LOOK AT PERFECT DAY MEXICO, PLUS THREE MORE DESTINATION EXPERIENCES TO COME
From record-breaking firsts at the game-changing Perfect Day Mexico to ultimate beach days, vacationers can create the memories of a lifetime in more ways than ever before MIAMI, May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The world's boldest vacations are on the horizon as Royal Caribbean is raising the bar with its newly revealed Ultimate Destination lineup – with headliner Perfect Day Mexico* set to break records with never-before-seen features. From all-new thrills and unrivaled ways to chill at the next Perfect Day to unmatched beach getaways across the first Royal Beach Clubs, the vacation brand's growing portfolio of exclusive destinations will deliver more ways for vacationers to experience the best of Royal Caribbean's newest ships alongside shoreside adventures in Mexico, The Bahamas and the South Pacific. "We have spent the last 50 years shattering perceptions around cruising to transform into a global vacation brand for all generations. Now, we're bringing our demonstrated history of unparalleled service and revolutionary innovation – everything our vacationers know and love – into our collection of destinations that offer more locally inspired perfect days and beachfront getaways," said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean. "Perfect Day Mexico is bigger and bolder than anything we have done to date. This destination will be the ultimate vacation for families, and we cannot wait to welcome adventurers from around the world to Mexico for an experience only Royal Caribbean can provide." Spanning more than 200 acres on Mexico's Caribbean coast, Perfect Day Mexico will raise the bar on vacations with record-breaking experiences, industry firsts and twists on Royal Caribbean favorites when it all comes to life in fall 2027. There's something for adventurers of all ages across seven neighborhoods. Highlights include: Loco Waterpark – Thrill-seekers can conquer more than 30 adrenaline-pumping waterslides across five slide towers, including the tallest waterslide tower – and waterslides – across North and South America. The more than 170-foot-tall Jaguar's Peak features two dueling slides, taking riders through more than two minutes of pure thrill and the longest coaster waterslide in the world. Vacationers can scale new heights across the tower's 10 slides, and they can even do so together on the tallest family raft slide, designed for four to six riders at once. There are more thrills across the waterpark with hydrolaunch slides that shoot riders into the air and the world's first sombrero slide, modeled after Mexico's iconic sombrero. Plus, adventure pools, a wave pool and slides designed for younger kids ensure there's something for everyone. Splash Cove – The central neighborhood for guests of all ages to go all-in will introduce the longest lazy river in the world – with a crazy side. Along the hour-long float are multiple entry and exit points and plenty of ways to stay hydrated with float-up bars and a cupholder in every tube. And for those who dare, an optional crazy section of the river features unexpected twists and turns with waves, rapids and spins. In the center of it all is a seemingly never-ending 100,000 square foot pool – just one of Perfect Day Mexico's more than 10 expansive pools that together span the size of four football fields. The little ones have their own adventures at Royal Caribbean's largest Splashaway Bay with waterslides sized just for them. The first-ever Splashaway Cabanas right nearby make it the perfect homebase for families. El Hideaway – At this adults-only neighborhood, day pass holders 18 years and older can party all day long with a zero-entry pool, swim-up bar and in-pool DJ. Those looking to celebrate big can max out the party vibes at the new Ultimate Party Cabana for 20 guests, with its own pool and bar. For unmatched chill, El Hideaway sets the scene with live music, toes-in-the-sand bars and cabanas. Costa Beach Club – Guests looking to upgrade their beach day to the next level of exclusivity can enjoy the white sand beaches, heated infinity pool and premium dining of Costa Beach Club. And for the ultimate retreat, adventurers can spend the day in a private cabana with a personal cabana attendant, thoughtful amenities and a dedicated pool. Chill Beach North and South – Vacationers looking to kick back can enjoy the natural beauty of Mexico along nearly 2 miles of white sand beaches at Chill Beach, spanning north and south from the pier. Guests can enjoy complimentary loungers, umbrellas and towels at all beaches and pools at Perfect Day Mexico. Fiesta Plaza – Where all the festivities begin: a vibrant arrival area transports vacationers straight to the heart of Mexico with live music and dance. Plus, the world's largest sombrero sits atop the Tipsy Sombrero bar, welcoming guests with margaritas, cervezas and more. Fueling the thrill and chill all day long are 12 regionally inspired dining options, from sit-down spots to grab-and-go eateries, with nearly all food spots complimentary to guests. Plus, there are endless reasons to toast "¡Salud!" at 24 bars, including six swim-up bars. Mariachi performances, art installations, and local artisans for souvenir shopping further bring the Mexican culture to life. Upon opening in fall 2027, Perfect Day Mexico will welcome Western Caribbean itineraries sailing from Galveston, New Orleans and all Florida homeports. Itineraries featuring Perfect Day Mexico will become available to book this fall. "We're committed to pushing the boundaries of what a modern-day vacation can be – delivering innovative experiences that create unforgettable memories for our guests and value for the communities we visit," said Jason Liberty, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean Group. "As we continue to innovate and expand our offerings at sea and on land, our ambition is to offer our guests a diverse range of experiences that grow with them, turning the vacation of a lifetime into a lifetime of vacations." To bring Perfect Day Mexico to life, Royal Caribbean is continuing its longstanding partnership with the local government and community to develop a modern, sustainable destination that will bring vacationers from around the world to Mexico. The port will remain open during all phases of the project and beyond, with a new welcome center being built by Royal Caribbean to acquaint guests of all visiting cruise lines with landmark attractions in the Mahahual area and provide transportation throughout the region. The development of the Perfect Day Mexico site, and local community infrastructure projects, is in line with parent company Royal Caribbean Group's SEA the Future commitment to deliver the best vacation experiences in a responsible manner by sustaining the planet, energizing communities and accelerating innovation. "At Royal Caribbean, our ambition is bigger than ever, and so is our lineup of amazing experiences we are designing, all centered on our guests," said Kara Wallace, chief marketing officer, Royal Caribbean. "Vacationers trust us to help them make every moment a memory, which is why we are changing the game with unforgettable experiences at Perfect Day Mexico and beyond." Royal Caribbean delivers the best vacations to more than 7 million people annually and visits 300+ destinations on 28 ships, with four more on order. Over the next three years, the vacation brand will also expand its destination lineup to six locales with the addition of four exclusive destination experiences that redefine what a vacation can look like. Alongside the original game-changer Perfect Day at CocoCay and the next bold adventure, Perfect Day Mexico, Royal Caribbean's new Royal Beach Clubs will deliver the ultimate beach day.

Vacationers can join the official waitlist to be the first to know when bookings become available in just a few short weeks. Royal Beach Club Cozumel – Featuring stunning beaches, pools with swim-up bars, cabanas, snorkeling, kayaking and more, the beach club will complement all the island has to offer when it opens in 2026. The spirit of Mexico will be at the heart of the experience across local touches and a variety of ways to dine and drink, a street market, and hands-on experiences like tequila tastings and cooking classes. Adding to the range of experiences for any vibe and mood are Royal Caribbean's exclusive beach destinations in Labadee, Haiti, and, in early 2027, Lelepa in the South Pacific for more ways to bask in paradise. Lelepa – Royal Caribbean is bringing a bold beach experience to the shores of Lelepa, a Vanuatuan island in the South Pacific Archipelago east of Australia. The first exclusive island cruise destination in the Southern Hemisphere will offer a locally inspired experience for guests in Australia and beyond, complete with serene beaches, nature trails, water activities and delicious dining.

Perfect Day Mexico: Royal Caribbean previews its next frontier of fun
The world's longest lazy river and water coaster slide are just two of many attractions Royal Caribbean has in store for private destination Perfect Day Mexico, scheduled to open in fall 2027. The 200-acre getaway in the Mexican Caribbean will have multiple neighborhoods and a total of 24 bars, 12 eateries and 30-plus waterslides. Royal Caribbean is also promising plenty of opportunities to relax, including on nearly two miles of beaches dubbed "Chill Beach" and at an exclusive beach club with a heated infinity pool. "Perfect Day Mexico is bigger and bolder than anything we have done to date," said Royal Caribbean CEO Michael Bayley. "This destination will be the ultimate vacation for families, and we cannot wait to welcome adventurers from around the world to Mexico for an experience only Royal Caribbean can provide." Bookings for Perfect Day Mexico will open this fall. The destination will be included in Western Caribbean itineraries sailing from Galveston, New Orleans and Florida. The Loco Waterpark will be home to Jaguar's Peak, a waterslide tower that will be the tallest in North and South America, said Royal Caribbean. Photo Credit: Royal Caribbean The destination's neighborhoods are Loco Waterpark, the lazy river's Splash Cove, the adults-only El Hideaway, the exclusive Costa Beach Club, Chill Beach and Fiesta Plaza. Loco Waterpark will have five slide towers with more than 30 slides. The tallest tower will be the tallest in North and South America, said Royal Caribbean. It will be called Jaguar's Peak and include the world's longest coaster slide, dueling slides and a family raft slide that can fit six riders on a single raft. Other slides in Loco Waterpark will include what Royal Caribbean is calling the world's first sombrero slide and slides that send guests airborne with a hydro-launch. There will also be a wave pool and slides for youngsters. Splash Cove will feature a 100,000-square-foot pool and the longest lazy river in the world, according to Royal Caribbean. One of the waterslide towers at Perfect Day Mexico will have a bowl slide shaped like a sombrero. Photo Credit: Royal Caribbean Guests will be able to float the full river, which takes an hour, or enter or exit at various points. An optional section will have waves and rapids. El Hideaway will feature a zero-entry pool, a DJ and a swim-up bar. A 20-guest Ultimate Party Cabana will have its own pool and bar. Costa Beach Club will have white-sand beaches, a heated infinity pool and premium dining as well as private cabanas with personal attendants and a pool. Chill Beach will span nearly two miles of white sand with complimentary lounge chairs, umbrellas and towels available. El Hideaway will be an adults-only area at Royal Caribbean's Perfect Day Mexico. Photo Credit: Royal Caribbean Fiesta Plaza will be where guests enter Perfect Day Mexico. There will be live music and dance performances and what the company calls the world's largest sombrero atop the Tipsy Sombrero bar. The destination's 12 eateries will be regionally inspired, and the majority will be complimentary. The 24 bars will include six swim-up bars. Also, guests can expect local artisan souvenirs, art displays and mariachi performances throughout Perfect Day Mexico. Perfect Day Mexico will be adjacent to the Costa Maya cruise port, which Royal Caribbean acquired last September. Royal Caribbean said it paid $292 million for the port and the adjacent land where Perfect Day Mexico is being built.
