The Silent Party | Cruise Entertainment | Royal Caribbean Cruises (2024)

FAQs

What is the best floor to stay on a cruise ship? ›

On most cruise ships, the most luxurious accommodation is on the upper decks. Here, you'll find a selection of elegant suites, with generous outdoor space, separate living areas, and amenities ranging from all-inclusive drinks to the service of a concierge.

So why would a cruise line want to throw a silent party where everyone wears headphones? Cruise lines use silent discos as their nightlife entertainment on the ships because it lessens the noise for those trying to sleep in cabins close by.

We will communicate any optional extras by email in the run up to the sailing and will provide guest with access to their Pre-Cruise Planner and onboard entertainment will be free of charge. The full list can be found on the Royal Caribbean website.

Light sleepers, take note: The best place to be if you want the best chance of not being bothered by noise is a cabin that is surrounded by other cabins. This means a cabin that has a cabin directly above it and a cabin directly below it, as well as cabins on both sides.

The best views. Balcony cabins don't just offer you access to an outdoor space. They typically also offer you a great view of the outdoors from inside your cabin. This is because the doors leading to balconies in balcony cabins usually are made almost entirely of glass running from floor to ceiling.

What should I wear to a silent disco? Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, as you'll likely be dancing. Some attendees choose to wear costumes or accessories to add to the party atmosphere.

Additionally, attendees can listen to multiple songs simultaneously and can easily talk with friends on the dance floor without the need to raise their voices over loud music. Overall, silent headphone parties provide an engaging and inclusive way for people to enjoy music together in diverse settings.

What activities are free on Royal Caribbean? ›

No matter what age you are, dancing to great music on a yacht or cruise can be exhilarating, exciting, and extraordinary. What is a cruise silent disco or yacht silent party? It's an event where people dance to music on a ship or boat with an amazing group of people, all wearing wireless headphones.

A question we often hear from cruise enthusiasts is, “Can I sleep on the balcony of a cruise ship?” While the idea is enchanting, and on most cruise ships, there are no rules against getting your shut-eye here, many discourage it.

You want to be as close to the pivot point as possible to feel the least movement. Avoid cabins near the front (bow) or back (stern) and on decks higher than the middle deck of the ship. So, on a ship with fourteen passenger decks, your best options are below deck seven.

The higher the deck, the better and, often, more panoramic the view. Cabins on top decks aren't always the best on the ship, but many suites and specialty cabin categories are typically located on upper decks. Like to be near all the action? Most mega-ships place their lido (pool) areas on higher decks.

Making sure you have medicine to combat sea sickness can help you get a head start on feeling good, and sleeping well, during your cruise. Choose a cabin on the lower decks. The lower your cabin, the less rocking sensation you will experience.

If you're looking for extra space, a suite is one of the best rooms on a cruise ship to book. In suites, you'll find that the sleeping and living spaces are separated. Some suites even have multiple bedrooms, making them ideal for families or groups of friends.

For passengers looking to enjoy views, especially the scenery in the wake of a ship, we recommend higher decks and the back of the vessel. The higher you pick, the farther you'll see. If you're after views, the best room on a cruise ship will be a balcony cabin at the ship's rear end.
