Hero of the Seas Will Have Its Own Chief Dog Officer
Another charming detail that has already caught the attention of brand fans: Hero of the Seas will feature its very own Chief Dog Officer — a Golden Retriever named Dolly. The name of the future "four-legged crew member" was chosen shortly before the ship's float-out. This tradition has already become part of the Icon Class concept: dogs help create a warm, family atmosphere onboard while becoming true guest favorites. The program is implemented by Royal Caribbean in partnership with the American Humane Society..jpg)
Guests can look forward to:
• 9 pools;
• 28 dining options and culinary venues;
• the new Orleans Parish Supper Club;
• various stateroom and suite categories, including the three-story Ultimate Family Treehouse;
• Crown's Edge, an attraction combining a skywalk and zipline elements nearly 47 meters above the ocean;
• the new Coconut Cove pool;
• The Hideaway adults-only area;
• an extensive lineup of restaurants, bars, shows, and entertainment for guests of all ages.
Hero of the Seas is designed as a ship where every family member can find their preferred way to relax — from extreme attractions and activities to peaceful poolside leisure, gourmet experiences, and evening shows.
7-Night Caribbean Cruises from Miami
