Even though the Monarch of the Seas is twelve years old, it has undergone renovations to give it all the amenities associated with Royal Caribbean cruise ships. It has a rock climbing wall and an expanded area for the programs offered for children and teenagers. The fitness center and spa have also been enlarged and the Windjammer Cafe now includes a sushi bar and pizzas made to order. This ship can carry 2744 passengers in its 445 inside rooms and 732 outside rooms. There are three main restaurants, as well as an ice cream shop, coffee shop and room service. Music, dancing and spectacular views are on tap in the six bars and lounges on the ship. Teens have their own space in the Fuel Teen Disco. The casino of the Monarch of the Seas is always active with its 212 slot machines and 12 gaming tables. You can take lessons in how to play the various games during the afternoon as well as take part in a wide range of contests, tournaments and demonstrations in other venues on the ship.
