Things to do on the Serenade of the seas

This is my first time on Royal and I hate their website. What I am looking for are not things I can read in the daily papers on ship but things on the ship not to miss that I wouldn't know about or overlook. What things do you enjoy on this ship.

Climbing wall, mini-golf, self-leveling pool tables, outdoor Windjammer seating.

sitting in the Atrium

walking the top deck (walking/running loop is 1/6 mile and I feel front to back is 1/3 mile)

making great friends with your tablemates

You might get some inspiration from the Cruise Compasses from my recent Western Caribbean Cruise at this link .

Enjoy your cruise and Serenade.

There is nothing that isn't posted. No worries!

Follow deck 5 forward and find the stairs that lead to the heliport for sailaway.:cool:

Make your way to the heliport at night. There are no lights on the bow of the ship. It's a great place to gaze at the stars.

Love the pool tables!

There should be a puzzle to work on in the Schooner Bar.

I can't wait to try out pool table but star gazing maybe a bit hard as I will be in the Baltic hoping to wake early enough and maybe see Northern light???

Thank you just what I was looking for.

For iPhone/iPad users, there is a free app available - Northern Lights Forecast & Aurora Borealis Alerts. We use this and it seems very accurate. :)

Try the helicopter pad for stargazing.

Then you must wake up very early. Sunrise might be as early as 03:45 am (depending on months) - also Northern Light only is visible in the ‘dark period’ from October to April. Not the time for a Baltic Cruise. Alternative is a Hurtigruten cruise along the Norwegian coast during winter.

I was umder the impression that you weren't allowed on the helipad other than a personal invite for private gatherings.

Serenade (and other Voyager/Freedom/Radiance class ships) allows guests to access the helipad whenever it's safe. It's the Oasis class ships (not sure about Quantum) that don't allow guest access without an invitation.

Maybe 'cause I've been sailing Oasis class for awhile now. Thanks!
