Royal Caribbean International’s newly remodeled Navigator of the Seas is sailing from Miami year round. Through May, the 3386-passenger ship is sailing a series of 5- and 9-night Caribbean itineraries before beginning 3-night weekend and 4-night weekday cruises. Featured on those short sailings are stops at highly anticipated private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay. Between the ship and the private island, a dozen new features:

1. The Blaster – the cruise line’s first aqua coaster and the longest waterslide at sea propels thrill seekers through more than 800 feet of dips, drops and straightaways that extend over the side of the ship
2. Riptide – the industry’s only headfirst mat racer waterslide, complete with an exhilarating finish through a translucent tube for endless ocean views
3. To Dry For – the first standalone blow-dry bar at sea, offering blowouts, hairstyling and other services, plus a selection of wines and champagnes
4. Reimagined Poolscape – this Caribbean resort-style deck touts more pool for everyone – even a Splash Pad for tots – and tasty dining options Johnny Rockets Express and Mexican “street fare” at El Loco Fresh
5. The Lime and Coconut – a three-level signature bar that offers a variety of libations, a “rooftop” deck for a bird’s eye view and live music
6. Hooked Seafood – the casual eatery serving up New England-inspired dishes
7. The Bamboo Room – a Polynesian-themed watering hole with kitschy-cool cocktails
8. Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade – where families can enjoy gameday classics, 50 big-screen TVs, tabletop games, classic arcade hits and a new Owner’s Box VIP room
9. Jamie’s Italian –home to celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s rustic Italian recipes
10. Battle for Planet Z – an epic glow-in-the-dark laser tag battle for the last planet in the galaxy
11. Royal Escape Room: The Observatorium – a challenge for teams of families, friends or fellow travelers to solve mind-bending puzzles before time runs out
12. FlowRider surf simulator, the rock-climbing wall, and a redesigned Adventure Ocean for the youngest of the family as well as new dedicated teen spaces
