You can escape this Royal Caribbean cruise aboard a virtual train ride


More vacation screen time for the kids.

That includes a unique experience called Royal Railway Utopia Station, where passengers dine on a virtual train ride while staring at simulated scenery zipping by on giant screens. Subwoofers in the seats simulate vibrations as the virtual train rumbles down non-existent tracks (again — this is inside a cruise ship), and in addition to a meal and moving scenery, there will be a live show with themed characters interacting with each other and guests. The last time we checked in on Royal Caribbean’s growing fleet, the Quantum of the Seas was introducing USB charging ports in every room, tablets for the ship’s crew, RFID guest tracking, and a robotic bartender.
