Why Cruising?
Because
it's more than a vacation-it's an experience like
none other. First, our cruise ships are some of the
most innovative in the industry. Not only are there
lots of amazing things to do onboard - like our new
30-foot rock climbing wall, FlowRider® surf
simulator, and great dining options to name a
few—there's also an endless number of fun onshore
activities, too. You'll also be able to visit many
different destinations all on one cruise, without
ever having to repack-and all for one amazing price!
So stop asking, "Why cruising?" and start asking,
"Why Not?"
Where
Can I Go?
We visit nearly 300 ports of call, in some of the
world's most breathtaking locations. From the rugged
beauty of Alaska and Canada/New England to the charm
of Europe. There's the lush landscapes of Mexico,
the Caribbean, the Panama Canal, Bermuda, and the
Bahamas. Also, Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, Asia,
and South America give you even more amazing exotic
spots to choose from. Just pick your dream
destination and get ready to set sail! |
|
 |
|
What's it Like?
Your days
at sea can be packed with activities from morning
till night or you can just spend time relaxing. Go
rock climbing and surf simulating on the Flowrider,
go shopping and sunbathing, or just hang out in your
stateroom. You can make your vacation whatever you
want! Look at the daily onboard schedule and plan
the cruise activities you want to do that day and
night. And when you arrive in each port, there are
dozens of activities and Shore & Land Excursions for
you to take advantage of.
Who's It For?
Simply
put, everyone, from families, couples, family
reunions, to corporate events. From mild to wild,
there are activities for every explorer. Our
Adventure Ocean® Youth Program is great for kids and
we have tons to do for teens, like our teen-only
dance club. There are lots of entertainment options,
shopping, and gambling for adults. There are
state-of-the-art fitness facilities, with classes
like kickboxing and yoga, full-service spas and a
huge variety of dining venues to suit every taste.
If you want it, we got it!

FlowRiders® and a thrilling zip-line view of the ship and
sea below. When it's time to unwind, go for a stroll in
Central Park - a meandering garden and lush public space

majestic view from any of the multiple balconies overlooking
the AquaTheater, the first amphitheater at sea.

CHICAGO – THE SHOW
Posted at RCCL Chairman's blog
on October 20th, 2010 by
Richard Fain, Chairman, RCCL
Yesterday, we got to preview
the show,
Chicago: The Musical, which will be on
Allure of the Seas.
It was preformed at our studios
in Hollywood, Florida in front of our senior executives as
well as performers and others involved in the different
shows which are being prepared at any given time at the
studios.
It was WOW-some.
As usual, there were no
sets, no costumes, no lighting, etc. Just raw talent
performing in what was essentially a black box. Even
without the accoutrements, the skill of the singers and
dancers; the flair of the choreography; and the passion and
energy of all involved were inspiring. Doing it in such an
informal setting gave the performance an intimacy one rarely
experiences and I loved every minute of it. Up close, you
could really appreciate the energy and determination each
performer put into his or her performance. The strain, the
exertion, and the pain were clear up close in a way that’s
hard to appreciate from a distance.
The crispness of the
coordination amongst the dancers was amazing. The
choreography of Chicago calls for
a fluidity amongst the performers and a synchronization that
is hard to achieve, but the cast moved as one even in some
of the most demanding positions. I loved it and I can’t
wait to see the final version. And remember, these
performers are also simultaneously preparing themselves for
the Blue Planet show. We are truly blessed to have such a
skilled and dedicated group of producers, director,
choreographers, set designers and technical experts and, of
course, singers and dancers.
WOW-some.

ALLURE OF THE SEAS DEBUTS NEW
RESTAURANTS
AND TANTALIZING MENUS
Brazilian
Steakhouse Completes the 24 Dining
Venues That Cater to Any Craving
MIAMI, Sept. 8, 2010 - Showcasing
onboard experiences all her own, Royal
Caribbean International's Allure of the
Seas, the world's next largest and most
innovative cruise ship debuting in
December 2010, will introduce new
culinary concepts and tempting twists to
signature Oasis-class restaurants.
Samba Grille, a Brazilian steakhouse
will be a destination restaurant that
comes to life for dinner service in the
Solarium, featuring authentic
Brazilian-style meats and seafood
dishes, from Picanha cut sirloin steak
to Atlantic salmon marinated with sea
salt and garlic, served table-side and
sliced straight off the skewer. In
Central Park, recently selected Chef de
Cuisine Molly Brandt will present guests
with a one-of-a-kind menu and distinct
dining experience at Allure of the Seas'
150 Central Park, a signature fine
dining experience.
"As churrascaria concept restaurants
gain popularity on land, Royal Caribbean
is taking advantage of having a new ship
to introduce the Samba Grill and bring a
new dynamic and colorful nightlife
ambiance for adults in the Solarium,"
says Lisa Bauer, senior vice president,
Hotel Operations, Royal Caribbean
International. "Guests onboard Allure of
the Seas will have a new arrangement of
dining experiences throughout the ship,

tostadas, warm tortilla chips with salsa
and fiesta guacamole, as well as
entrées, such as fajitas, fish tacos and
Chipotle-style flautas. The more casual
setting will be a favorite lunch, snack
or dinner spot for guests seeking a
flavorful fiesta onboard Allure of the
Seas. Rita's Cantina also will boast
some of the best and widest selection of
margaritas at sea, offering both
authentic and signature concoctions
mixed with a choice from the extensive
list of quality tequilas, served on the
rocks or frozen in a variety of
fruit-flavor combinations. In addition,
the restaurant will introduce new
nightlife to Boardwalk with live guitar
music, drinks and dancing. Rita
Cantina's design will include large open
breezeways and an outdoor seating area
complete with high top tables and
stools, and will be located in place of
Seafood Shack onboard sister-ship Oasis
of the Seas.
Also new to Boardwalk's dynamic and
engaging scene will be The Boardwalk Dog
House, an outdoor hot-dog specialty
counter located where The Donut Shop is
on Oasis of the Seas. Guests can choose
from traditional hot dogs, wieners,
brats, sausages and other delicious
linked meats and a variety of toppings

entertainment options. Allure of the Seas also boasts 26
dining options, including the first ever Starbucks at
sea; a new fine dining experience at 150 Central Park,
created by The Culinary Institute of America alumna
Molly Brandt; Samba Grill Brazilian steakhouse; Rita's
Cantina, a casual Mexican restaurant offering the widest
selection of margaritas at sea; and the Boardwalk Dog
House, an outdoor hot-dog specialty counter. Also
making its maritime debut aboard Allure of the Seas is
the GUESS Accessory store from one of the world's most
recognizable fashion apparel and accessories brands, as
well as the first BRITTO Gallery at sea by pop culture
artist Romero Britto. In addition, new technological
innovations include complimentary guest service kiosks
in the Royal Promenade - which guests can use to
instantly view, print and email their SeaPass folio, as
well as check-in for flights and print airline boarding
passes - and 3-D movie screens in the ship's Amber
Theater located in the Entertainment Place neighborhood.
The official naming ceremony for Allure of
the Seas will take place on November 28 during a
one-night celebration to benefit the United Way chapters
of Miami-Dade and Broward counties, among other
charities. A special four-night sailing on December 1
will call at the cruise line's private beach destination
of Labadee, along the north coast of Haiti, and Allure
of the Seas' inaugural seven-night Western Caribbean
itinerary will depart on December 5.
Allure of the Seas shares the title of the
world's largest and most revolutionary cruise ship with
sister-ship Oasis of the Seas. With a cache of distinct
onboard activities and amenities, Allure of the Seas
offers one-of-a-kind entertainment performances,
culinary concepts, retail venues and technology
innovations. An architectural marvel at sea, Allure's
neighborhoods are divided into seven distinct themed
areas, which include Central Park, Boardwalk, the Royal
Promenade, the Pool and Sports Zone, Vitality at Sea Spa
and Fitness Center, Entertainment Place and Youth Zone.
She spans 16 decks, encompasses 225,282 gross registered
tons, carries 5,400 guests at double occupancy, and
features 2,700 staterooms. Allure of the Seas
