Royal Caribbean names Legend of the Seas in Fort Lauderdale on Veterans Day

On November 11 in Miami, on the occasion of Veterans Day, celebrations were held for the naming ceremony of Legend of the Seas, the flagship of the Royal Caribbean fleet. The godmother of the event was Lori J. Robinson, retired United States Air Force General who, following maritime tradition, blessed the ship, the crew, and the guests, wishing them safe sailings. The day also represented a tribute to veterans, active military personnel, and their families, as well as a recognition of the thousands of workers who contributed to the construction of the new Icon-class unit.

Both Royal Caribbean Group President and CEO Jason Liberty and Royal Caribbean President and CEO Michael Bayley emphasized how Legend of the Seas embodies the drive for innovation and excellence in the family-dedicated offering. After successfully completing its inaugural summer season in the Mediterranean, the ship now kicks off its Caribbean lineup with six-night cruises to the Western Caribbean and eight-night itineraries to the Southern Caribbean. All voyages will include a call at Perfect Day at CocoCay, the cruise line’s private island in the Bahamas.

Divided into eight themed neighborhoods, the ship offers a particularly rich onboard experience for travelers of all ages. Guests can choose from 28 dining options, including the immersive Royal Railway – Legend Station experience and the Hollywoodland Supper Club restaurant, relax in the seven pools, or take on adrenaline-pumping attractions like Crown’s Edge, a suspended course 47 meters above the ocean combining a skywalk and a zipline. Completing the experience are major theatrical productions such as America’s Got Talent LIVE and the musical based on “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”.
