In 1999 with 3,114 passengers Voyager of the Seas entered service as the largest cruise ship in the world, was heralded as the most revolutionary ship ever built, forever changing the world of navigation with features never seen before, such as a runway skating rink / TV studio / concert arena, climbing wall, skating rink, horizontal atrium (now known as the Royal Promenade), and interior view staterooms. Climbing walls are now aboard all Royal Caribbean ships, and the ice rink and other features can also be enjoyed on others. Voyager del Seas is still mind-boggling, unforgettable and thrilling. The ship underwent a $ 80 million makeover in October 2014 with the addition of many facilities in addition to those present, such as a FlowRider surf simulator, "virtual balconies" on interior staterooms, 3D movies and several new options for catering.
