Because regular karaoke wasn't innovative enough for Royal Caribbean.

On Air Club takes the cruise karaoke experience to another level. Sure, you can do traditional karaoke in the main lounge area. But the real draw is the private recording booths where your group becomes the stars of your own music video. The technology handles everything — lighting, camera work, special effects — so you just focus on the performance. It's a unique souvenir that captures the fun of your cruise.

On Air Club Review: We Made a Music Video

Introduction. Our group of four had one goal: make an unforgettable music video of "Bohemian Rhapsody." On Air Club delivered beyond expectations.

The Process

We signed up on the app and got a 9 PM booth slot. The venue has a cool recording studio vibe — think vinyl record décor, neon lights, and professional equipment. When our time came, staff walked us through the setup: choose your song, pick a background effect, and get positioned.

The Recording

The booth was surprisingly professional. Multiple cameras automatically switched angles during our performance. The green screen let us choose a "rock concert" background. The sound was great through headphones, lyrics displayed clearly, and we could see ourselves on screen. We committed fully — head banging during the guitar solo, dramatic poses during "Mama, just killed a man."

The Result

The finished video looked legitimately good. The automatic editing added transitions and effects that made it feel like an actual music video. We downloaded it immediately and have watched it approximately 47 times since. It's the perfect cruise souvenir — way better than another magnet.

Conclusion

Rating: 4.4/5. On Air Club is a genuinely innovative addition to cruise entertainment. The recording booth experience is unique and creates lasting memories. Highly recommend for groups of friends or families wanting something different. Book early — slots fill up.
