Twenty-four distinct itineraries, ranging from five to nine nights,
will include visits to 25 captivating
ports of call and offer virtually unlimited choices–onboard and
on-shore–for family and adventurous
vacationers.
Serenade of the Seas
will expand from seasonal to year-round service at San Juan, Puerto
Rico, while
Freedom of the Seas
and
Liberty of the Seas
will continue regular sailings from Port Canaveral and Miami,
respectively. Together,
Oasis of the Seas
and
Allure of the Seas
will offer vacationers a choice of a Saturday or Sunday departure
for an unparalleled cruise experience from Port Everglades in Fort
Lauderdale. General bookings for Royal Caribbean’s 2010-11
year-round Caribbean cruises are now open. Additional seasonal
Caribbean deployments will be announced in the near future.
Having sailed seasonally from San Juan since
2003, Serenade of the Seas will begin year-round
service in April 2010 from the Puerto Rican city-port with two
alternating seven-night Southern
Caribbean itineraries through December 2010. No port of call is
repeated on the two itineraries,
presenting vacationers the option to combine two consecutive cruises
into a grand 14-night
Southern Caribbean odyssey. One itinerary will call at Curacao,
Aruba, Dominica and St. Thomas,
while the other at Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua, St. Maarten and St.
Croix.
From May 2010, Freedom of the Seas and Liberty of the Seas will
continue alternating seven-night
Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries departing respectively on
Saturdays and Sundays. On
January 30, 2011, Liberty of the Seas will begin alternating a
six-night Western Caribbean, departing every other Sunday, and an
eight-night Eastern Caribbean itinerary, departing every other
Saturday. The two ships feature the cruise line’s exclusive onboard
amenities, including the FlowRider surf simulator, the H2O Zone
water park, a boxing ring, cantilevered whirlpools, an ice-skating
rink, and the four-bedroom, four-bath Presidential Family Suite.
With eight restaurants and more than 15 bars and lounges, these
Freedom-class ships offer guests more ways to enjoy a memorable
Caribbean cruise vacation.
From Port Everglades, vacationers can choose a Saturday or Sunday
departure aboard one
of the world’s largest and most revolutionary cruise ships in the
industry, Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas. In 2010, Allure
of the Seas will cruise its inaugural season, mirroring Oasis of the
Seas’ alternating seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean
roundtrip itineraries. Oasis of the Seas also will sail two special
holiday cruises, a five-night voyage departing December 18, calling
at Labadee and Falmouth, Jamaica; and a nine-night voyage departing
December 30, calling at Labadee, Falmouth, St. Maarten and St.
Thomas.
Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas, debuting in November 2009
and 2010 respectively, will
feature Royal Caribbean’s new neighborhood concept, seven themed
areas throughout the ship that
offer different experiences for guests to choose, based on their
personal styles, preferences or
moods. Inspired by seaside entertainment esplanades, Boardwalk will
engage the entire family –
whether young or young at heart – with eateries, retail outlets,
carnival games, and an original,
handcrafted carousel – a first at sea. Nine decks above, the first
zip-line at sea will whisk guests from end to end on a thrilling
aerial adventure. Boardwalk will lead to the AquaTheater at the
stern of the ship, where the amphitheater – another first at sea –
will offer a guest pool area by day and a
performance venue at night, featuring dramatic acrobatics,
synchronized swimming, water ballet,
professional high-diving, and elaborate fountain shows synchronized
to music and lights.
Onboard every Royal Caribbean ship, guests enjoy the cruise line’s
award-winning
Broadway-style musical revues from Royal Caribbean Productions,
acclaimed Adventure Ocean kids and teen programming, world-class
gaming in the Casino Royale, and Royal Caribbean’s renowned friendly
and engaging Gold Anchor Service from every staff and crew member.
