On-board grass, surf simulators, 4-D cinema and more!
Because mega cruise ships are homogenous in so many areas-from their multiple mall-like restaurants to the pre-fab cabins, giant playrooms and sprawling spas-cruise lines strive to differentiate themselves in any way they can. But what makes a new cruise ship ink-worthy? It's not enough to be adrenaline-pumping and ear-splitting, they need a weird factor to turn our heads. These days, many cruise lines aim to make waves-and grab market share-with outlandish gimmicks.
But who says gimmicks can't be fun?
Celebrity's upcoming Solstice, for instance, has a patch of grass on an upper deck for picnicking, golf putting and croquet. If that's too snoresville for you, experts lead glass-blowing demos nearby. Fluted goblets anyone? Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas has a surfing simulator that shoots out 20-mile-an-hour waves. You can also work up a sweat on the ship's ice skating rink.
