Our Story
What is Fun Time with Fam?
Our Annual January Family Cruise Getaway
Fun Time with Fam is our annual short family cruise getaway created to intentionally begin each year with time set aside for one another.
For a few days, we step away from everyday routines to reconnect, laugh, explore, relax, and create new family memories.
Some of us may spend the afternoon together. Others may head to the pool, try an excursion, explore the ship, or find a quiet place overlooking the ocean. There is room to enjoy the vacation your way while still sharing the experience as a family.
Different ship. Different destination. Same intention.
We start the year by choosing family time on purpose.

Meet Wonder of the Seas
The ship is part of the vacation
Our floating gathering place, playground, and oceanfront home for three nights.
Wonder of the Seas is not simply transportation between destinations. It becomes part of the Fun Time with Fam experience.
There is something for every generation. Adventure seekers can find excitement. Food lovers can explore. Kids and adults can play. Those who simply want to relax can find their favorite spot and watch the ocean go by.
Sometimes the best memories will be planned. Others will happen simply because you ran into family somewhere aboard the ship.

Throughout the Cruise
Family Moments

Optional family moments designed to create opportunities for connection without turning the vacation into a schedule.
Join everything, join something, or simply enjoy seeing everyone around the ship. The goal is connection, not obligation.
Family Karaoke
We pick one of Royal Caribbean's regularly scheduled karaoke sessions and invite the crew to meet there.

This is a family meetup at a ship-run karaoke event, not a private reservation. Karaoke Dare Cards can encourage a throwback, a duet, choosing a song for someone else, or bringing someone onstage. Playful and voluntary.

Not necessarily the loudest or the one who won the most games. Simply someone who brought joy, participated, encouraged others, and helped make the trip memorable.
Important note: Fun Time with Fam activities are optional. Final gathering times and locations will be shared closer to sailing and may be coordinated around Royal Caribbean's official daily entertainment schedule. Family Karaoke is a family meetup during one of Royal Caribbean's scheduled karaoke events, not a private karaoke reservation.
The Heart of the Trip
Our heart is family time
Everything we do begins with one intentional purpose: choosing family time together as we step into the new year.
Step away from everyday routines to reconnect, laugh, make lifelong memories, and celebrate the generations who bring us together.
Join when you want to gather, explore freely when you want your own space, and enjoy every moment at your family's pace.
Together when we want to be. Free to explore when we want to be. Always connected by family.

The Tradition Continues
More Than a Trip. A Tradition We Return To.
Every January, choosing to be together.
One trip becomes a memory. Something we intentionally return to year after year becomes part of our family story.
Each January brings something new: a new ship, a new destination, a new adventure, new stories, and familiar faces to share them with.
Years from now, we may not remember every meal, excursion, or activity. But we will remember being there. Together.
