Navigator Of The Seas

The Schooner Bar is Royal Caribbean’s signature nautically themed piano bar and can be found on deck 4 outside the ships casino seating 130 guests.

As guests walk into the bar they may detect a unique scent which originates from pitch made of pine tar mixed with oakum used to preserve rigging that was used on tall ships. The mast-like setup in the bar with its ropes and knots are treated with this pitch creating the aroma.
