Here’s a list of the seven most outrageous, jaw-dropping cruise lines, perfect for a girlfriend getaway that unleashes your inner wild child!
What’s Wild: Casino Royale! Royal Caribbean offers a Las Vegas-style gamble-a-thon that’ll have you feeling like a high roller. With a Martini in one hand and a stack of chips in the other, you’ll barely remember what “adult responsibilities” are.
What We Love: The karaoke lounges where you can let your inner diva shine! “I Will Survive” sung off-key at the top of your lungs? Priceless.
What Else is There?
Picture this: you and your squad chilling by the pool, soaking up the sun with a fruity cocktail in hand. Or maybe you’re the daredevil type, ready to conquer thrilling water slides or channel your inner Spider-Woman on the rock climbing wall. Whatever floats your boat, Royal Caribbean has an activity that will make you feel like the queen of the high seas.
Royal Caribbean knows how to keep you entertained day and night. Get ready to be dazzled by Broadway-style shows that will leave you clapping and hollering for more.

Indulge in spa treatments, stretch it out in yoga classes, or simply let the spa facilities work their magic on your tired soul.
Oh, and did I mention the vibrant nightlife? Because girl, Royal Caribbean ships know how to bring the party. You can have a low-key evening sipping cocktails at a cozy bar or dance the night away at one of the many lounges and nightclubs. It’s your call, my fearless adventure seeker.
Picture yourself exploring different ports of call, whether you’re into cultural experiences, heart-pumping adventures, or just lounging on beautiful beaches like the goddess you are. Royal Caribbean offers a range of options to enhance your onshore adventures because, hey, they want you to have the best damn time possible.
What’s Wild: The “Sin City” themed parties. Show up in your most daring outfit and dance the night away. It’s Vegas without the desert—and the regrettable tattoos.
