New Single Staterooms on Royal Caribbean

This is exciting news for solo travellers!!

serenade of the seas
The Serenade of the Seas has something special onboard.... single staterooms!

This week Royal Caribbean announced that they have added new single staterooms on three ships. Jump for joy if you love Royal Caribbean as now you can experience all their onboard innovations in one of the new single staterooms.

Each single stateroom is an inside cabin, measuring 108 square feet, with a twin bed, vanity area and a bathroom (of course!). Best of all is what they will be missing: the dreaded single supplement!

Brilliance of the Seas (Miniature Golf)
More chances for solo cruisers to golf at sea on the Brilliance of the Seas!

The new single staterooms are available on:

Radiance of the Seas
Does one of these deck chairs on the Radiance of the Seas have
your name on it? It might, if you are looking for a solo cabin
with no single supplement!
There are just 3 single staterooms on each of the 3 ships, so they are bound to sell out quickly.

Please contact me if you want me to find one for you!

Tips:
  • Brilliance:
  • Radiance: category SI, cabins 4583, 4585 and 4587
