The English Pub is best known for its wide and diverse selection of beers, but you can also order up a mean cocktail here. If you want something smooth yet strong, go for the James Bond Martini. It’s a powerhouse triad of Belvedere vodka, Beefeater gin and Lillet Blanc. If you love bourbon, try the Buffalo Manhattan, which swaps whiskey for Buffalo Trace with sweet vermouth and a splash of Angostura bitters. And if you’re having trouble deciding between spirits, order the Boston Iced Tea Party, made with Tanqueray gin, Bacardi Superior rum, Absolut vodka, triple sec, and sweet and sour mix. Want to try something really different? Ask for a beertini or cockt-ale – mixed drinks infused with brews to create one-of-a-kind libations you can savour slowly.

Accessible Shore Excursions

Explore in Comfort with Accessible Shore Excursions

Immerse yourself in our destinations with Accessible Shore Excursions, unique cultural excursions that accommodate scooters, wheelchairs, walkers and more. These tours were designed with you in mind.

At Royal Caribbean, we are always excited to cultivate the best experiences possible – both onboard and on land for each of our guests every time we sail.

Accessible Shore Excursions reveal the authentic culture of the ports we visit for our guests with mobility disabilities. We're ready to provide comfortable, accessible transport and knowledgeable, local independent experts.

Going well beyond a quick drive around an island, small group tours provide in-depth holiday experiences with excellent accessibility features, such as…

1. Accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts or ramps
2. Accessible attractions with flat or ramped entrances
3. Accessible bathrooms with wide doors for wheelchairs
4. Step-free routes that avoid steps, stairs and kerbs
5. Experienced local independent operators familiar with accessibility needs

Level 1 | Tours recommended for guests that are able to walk short distances, can navigate the steps of a coach, and/or travel with a standard-size manual collapsible wheelchair or scooter, that can fit into the coach luggage compartment.

Level 2 | Designed for guests unable to negotiate coach steps or full-time wheelchair/scooter users. The vehicle used on this type of tour is adapted with an access ramp (or lift where available) to accommodate a limited number of mobility devices. In order to use the ramp and/or lift, guests are required to be seated on a wheelchair or scooter.

A few things to keep in mind

• Accessible Shore Excursions are offered in certain destinations only.
• Accessible tours allow a limited number of participants; therefore we recommend you submit your request as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
• Requests must be submitted with the mobility device type, dimensions (L x W x H) and device weight.
• An able-bodied person should accompany a full-time wheelchair user at all times during Shore Excursions.
• Staff members are not allowed to lift or assist a guest in or out of a vehicle.
• Vehicles, ramps and lifts may vary depending upon the port and availability.
• Guests must be seated on the wheelchair or scooter at all times to use ramps and lifts.
• Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations and guidelines do not apply outside of the United States.
• Private Arrangements may be available in ports without Accessible Shore Excursions.
• We strongly recommend that Accessible Shore Excursions requests be received at least 10 working days prior to departure.

Our goal is to make all our guests as comfortable as possible, both on and off the ship. Our cruise ships have spacious corridors to accommodate 180 degree turns for wheelchairs. Most decks are accessible through automatic doors, and all public rooms feature entrances with gradual inclines.

Assistive devices should fit through a standard stateroom entry doorway which is at least 23 inches wide. We offer accessible staterooms which have wider doors which are at least 32 inches wide and may accommodate larger devices.

Service dogs are permitted to accompany the person with a disability in all public areas, including dining venues. While in public areas, service dogs must be on a leash, harness or another restraining device. Due to health regulations, service dogs are not permitted in pools, whirlpools or spas.

Care and supervision of the service dog is the sole responsibility of the owner. The ships are not required to provide food or care for the dog.

Guests may bring a reasonable quantity of food and bowls for the dog onboard the ship at no additional charge. If refrigerated space is needed, notify our Access Department at the time of booking but no later than 30 days prior to sailing.

If the guest chooses to disembark the ship at a port at which the service dog must remain onboard, the guest must make arrangements to ensure that the dog is cared for. Note that the ship's staff is not required to care for the dog, nor can the dog be left in the stateroom unattended.
