Award winning magician Leo Ward brings to the stage a confidence that comes from decades of performing. His shows feature dazzling sleight of hand, audience participation, rapid fire wit & mind blowing magic.
As goes in the land of dreaming, where secret wants and hidden fears lie deeply tucked in our subconscious, our greatest adventures often await in slumber. The Beautiful Dream is a story of a man who is visited by his departed soulmate who has come to help him rediscover his passion for life, and his will to love again. This is the biggest adventure of his life, the confrontation of his secret fears, and the dream of his eventual awakening.
Dean Atkinson breathes new life into an old art form. With the help of his characters, Stan The Bogan and Fetch The Talking Dog, Dean spins a classic art form into a modern, cutting-edge act where the jokes are fresh, fast and furious!
Spectra and her Agents of Rhythm invite you to an electric multi-dimensional world where you will be transported into invisible realms. Each night, the portal opens for a limited period of time to a multimedia show brimming with kaleidoscopic sounds, effervescent colors, and dazzling movement. Spectra’s Cabaret creates a world seen through the lens of music and technology, all the while exploring the deepest recesses of the heart.
Performing the hits you know and love with modern classics from the likes of Adele and all time favourites from ABBA and many more!
Known as Australia’s Larrikin Comedian - Steve is undoubtedly Aussie humour at it’s best!

Setting Up Your Account
If you did not set up an account during Online Check-In or during boarding in the cruise terminal, you can do so in the Royal App or at the Guest Services Desk on Deck 4 . Onboard Expense Accounts can be set up with a credit card, a debit card, or cash. Our ships utilize a cashless system, so your SeaPass card will be the only way to make purchases while onboard. Please note that a temporary hold of $99.75 will be placed on your card to verify funds. Onboard purchases over $100 will generate additional holds. The hold will be released within 3 to 5 business days after your cruise ends, but can take up to 30 days, depending on your bank. You may add other guests to your expense account by visiting the Guest Services desk. A daily limit can be placed on arcade spending. All charges can be viewed in the Royal Caribbean App or on your Stateroom TV. Printed receipts will be provided for each onboard purchase, and a preliminary statement will be delivered to your stateroom on the last night of your cruise.

Guests on a cash account will need to settle their account at Guest Services prior to disembarking the ship.

HELPFUL TIPS FOR TODAY
How to Get Ashore in Mystery Island
Mystery Island requires the use of tenders. Tenders are small boats that we use to take you ashore in ports where the ship is too large to dock. Each ride is approximately 15 minutes from the ship to the shore and vice versa. We will be using tender tickets, which will be available to you from 8:00 am (until Open Tender is announced) in Royal Theatre, Deck 5. In order to help us make the process as smooth as possible for all of our guests, please only collect a ticket when you are ready to go ashore. Only one person is required to collect tickets for your party. Please wait in any of our public lounges on Decks 4 & 5 and listen for announcements for your group number to be called to the tender loading areas. If you don’t go ashore when your ticket number is called, you will be required to collect another ticket. The last tender from the shore will be at 5:00 pm.
Need a Transfer to the Airport?
Book your transfers to the Sydney airport. Transfers to the airport is $35 USD per person one way. Purchase in the Royal Caribbean app or visit the Guest Services team on Deck 4. The deadline to purchase transfers is Day 6 at 4:00 pm.

YOUR HEALTH IS OUR PRIORITY
We’re all in this together. Here are some things to keep in mind for the health and safety of everyone onboard.
Wheelchair & Scooter Users
Due to the limited infrastructure at the dock in Mystery Island and the island’s terrain, we cannot accommodate guests using mobility equipment. Please only go ashore if you are able to walk around without the use of scooters or wheelchairs and you are able to walk up and down approximately 12 steps.
GOOD TO KNOW
Set Up Your Departure Details Final Call
• Provide your departure information through the Royal Caribbean app latest by 4:00 pm, Day 6 for a quick and easy departure day.
Bringing Food Ashore
• Due to Port Health regulations, food, including fruits, vegetables and drinks, are not allowed to be taken off the ship when visiting a Port. The local authorities may conduct random inspections and guests could face a fine if any of these items are found on their person.
Blue Bottle Jellyfish Advisory
• Please be on alert while enjoying the warm waters of Mystery Island. It is common for blue bottle jellyfish to inhabit these waters. If you get stung, please go to the Medical Facility for treatment.
Pump the Jams, Not the Volume
• We know you are excited to blast your vacation playlist, but not everyone has your exquisite taste in music! Please note that personal speakers are not permitted in any public areas and be mindful of the volume in your stateroom.
DRY OFF & DROP OFF
Don’t forget to return your pool towels back to the designated Towel Station when you’re done!
A $25 USD replacement fee will be charged to your SeaPass card for each unreturned towel.

This is the biggest adventure of his life, the confrontation of his secret fears, and the dream of his eventual awakening.

As goes in the land of dreaming, where secret wants and hidden fears lie deeply tucked in our subconscious, our greatest adventures often await in slumber. The Beautiful Dream is a story of a man who is visited by his departed soulmate who has come to help him rediscover his passion for life, and his will to love again. This is the biggest adventure of his life, the confrontation of his secret fears, and the dream of his eventual awakening.
Dean Atkinson breathes new life into an old art form. With the help of his characters, Stan The Bogan and Fetch The Talking Dog, Dean spins a classic art form into a modern, cutting-edge act where the jokes are fresh, fast and furious!
