There will also be numerous sound systems and DJs on-board playing music all day and night.

Passengers aboard the Royal Caribbean can enjoy multiple dining facilities, bars and lounges plus activities for every mood. Those looking for relaxation can visit the spa or one of the many pools and hot tubs, while adventure seekers can burn off some steam at the mini-golf course, basketball court, surf simulator, rock-climbing wall or state-of-the-art fitness centre.

Jamrock 2015 had persons from over 40 nations converging, due to their love of reggae music and the culture it emerged from. Last year, Jr Gong announced that he had become the newest owner of Tidal, the first artiste-owned streaming service in the world. Tidal will join the WTJR Cruise again in 2016 to produce and release exclusive content to its subscribers.
