Questions about Royal Caribbean cruises?
I’m a single mom and will be taking the 4 day Mexico cruise this fall. My little girl will probably be in the kids’ club a lot.
I’m in Las Vegas now, so I’m really not interested in gambling or drinking/nightclubs/bars.
What is there for me to do? I’m really looking for a good spot to read, I think they have a library? Has anyone visited it who can tell me if they have lots of good books? And I know about the rock climbing and yoga classes – I’ll be doing those! 
I’m also curious about in room movie rental… do they do that? Do you know what cable channels their ships get? Ordering room service and watching TV seem heavenly to me, I know it seems ridiculous to some.
One more thing, a lot of the excursions I’m interested in don’t allow my daughter to join yet (she’s 10.) If I chose to just hang out on the ship while it was at the different ports, do they still have activities onboard? Do you know if they just allow you to get a towel and hang out on the beach?
The first thing you should do is go to the web site for the cruise line you are going on and find the ship that you will be on and take their virtual tour of the ship. It will help you know what is on ship and where things are. You can also look at programs for you kid.
The room TV usually has one or more channels where free movies are shown. Some ships also have pay-per-view movies that you can purchase on your TV in your cabin. Some ships will have a small movie theater where movies (same ones as in your room) are shown.
I have been on many cruises and there is always a library. I have not looked at the selection of books but if you want to read I suggest that you bring your own. Some libraries are not really quiet. They are in traffic areas and thus may interfere with your reading. But you can always stay in your cabin or do as I usually do and find a secluded spot on one of the decks. Most people will be around the pool areas so places away from there will be quietest.
Since the ship is moving it will get what TV signals it can pick up that are near. The channels usually include a major network, CNN, ESPN and then some other channels that may have vintage TV shows. The stations may broadcast in Spanish if you are going to Mexico.
The good part is the movies run continuously and the room service is free 24/7. When you get to ports if you do not go on a tour you can get off ship and do whatever you want; just be back before time to go. If there is a beach available they will loan you a towel or two (will probably be in your cabin already) and yes you can hang out on the beach. Generally while the ship is in port its a very quiet time on ship. Not much happening.
