 Overall Score:** 80.0





The 3,114-passenger **_[Voyager of the Seas](http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/ships/class/ship/home.do?br=R&shipClassCode=VY&shipCode=VY)_** was a game-changer when it debuted in 1999 with a rock-climbing wall, ice-skating rink, and indoor streetscape. It’s been outdone in size and scope of activities since, but boredom (and, for some cruise traditionalists, tranquility) would be hard to achieve on the _Voyager_: You can listen to a calypso band by the pool, watch parades pass through the promenade, play basketball on a full court, and attend an ice-skating show. The kids’ facilities will keep Junior occupied (there are indoor and outdoor play areas, including a pirate-themed splash pool). If you don’t want to spring for an ocean-view cabin, you can get one that has windows looking inside the ship, onto the promenade. The _Voyager_ sails Caribbean itineraries out of New Orleans from November through April.
