EL NUEVO CRUCERO DE ROYAL CARIBBEAN

El próximo 1 de Diciembre está previsto que inicie su viaje inaugural, un crucero de 4 días desde Fort Lauderdale con destino a Labadee (Haití). Luego ofrecerá cruceros de siete días por las islas del caribe. A finales de 2010, el "Oasis of the Seas" compartirá su liderazgo con un buque gemelo, el "Allure of the Seas", de idénticas dimensiones que se está construyendo en los mismos astilleros finlandeses para la Royal Caribbean.

Este nuevo barco ofrecerá a todos sus usuarios una forma de viajar totalmente nueva, con innovadoras zonas de diversión como: el Central Park, Boardwalk, el AquaTheater, áreas de piscinas y deportes, la Royal Promenade, Vitality Spa y Fitness Center, la Zona de Entretenimiento y la Zona Joven.
