Wednesday, May 19th, 2010
 Royal Caribbean made a splash in the cruise industry last year with the release of the world’s largest cruise ship, the Oasis of the Seas. The ship offers several firsts including a rising bar, zip-line, a Coney Island inspired boardwalk and a central park area that includes over 12,000 trees and plants.
Although the ship is selling well, no prototype is without its flaws. Based on consumer feedback, Royal Caribbean has identified some improvements and enhancements that can done before the release of it’s sister ship, the Allure of the Seas scheduled to come out this December. One area that didn’t attract as many families as anticipated, is the Boardwalk. The free carousel was surrounded by several shops and eateries, all with an additional cover charge. Consequently, the donut shop space will be converted into the ”Boardwalk Dog House” serving up free hot dogs, sausages and brats with a choice of toppings. Fans of the donut shop need not worry, it is being relocated next to the ice cream shop in a smaller space. The Seafood shack which currently charges $8.95 for adults and $4.95 for kids, will be replaced by a Mexican beach bar and taqueria called Rita’s Cantina. Menu items will include chips and salsa, tacos and flautas. In the evenings, Rita’s will offer live guitar music, drinks and dancing.
Guests asked for more shopping, so the line that brought the first Coach Store at sea, will now offer the first Guess Store. This boutique will go in place of the camera shop which will be combined with the photo gallery. The ships offers over 10,000 sq. ft. of shopping.
Kiosks will be added throughout the ship to offer complimentary services to passengers including dining and spa reservations, looking up entertainment schedules and obtaining a copy of your bill.
New productions will be added in the AquaTheater, specially equipped screens will show 3-D movies and an Apple Ipod dock station will be added to each stateroom. The 3-D movie screen is the only upgrade being made to the Oasis at this time. The Allure of the Seas is set to sail on December 4th on a four night cruise from Port Everglades, and then begin seven days cruises alternating the Eastern and Western Caribbean.

 Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas will offer 10,000 sq. ft. or shopping.
Following is an overview of the new shopping options guests can take advantage of while onboard Oasis of the Seas:
Central Park
•Coach – Located in the Central Park neighborhood, Coach is one of the most exciting additions to the retail lineup on Oasis of the Seas. Coach will debut its largest location at sea with an assortment of chic handbags and accessories, allowing shoppers to appreciate the variety, detail and quality of the Coach offering while getting an overview of the company’s lifestyle approach. To celebrate the grand opening, Coach will offer a special gift with purchase – an exclusive leather luggage tag in luxe parchment, embossed with the iconic horse and carriage logo in gold.
The Royal Promenade
•Prince & Greene – With a trendy fashion boutique vibe, Prince & Green offers urban apparel and accessories for men and women alike, all with an electric urban edge. Labels include Betsey Johnson, Calypso and Kenneth Cole for women and Fred Perry, Ed Hardy, Marc Jacobs and Ben Sherman for men.
•Regalia – Regalia is one of Oasis’ most opulent boutiques. Home to some of the most iconic names in fine jewelry and timepieces, Regalia brands include Tag Heuer, Roberto Coin, Pianegonda, Olivia and more.
•Solera – Oasis of the Seas is home to two duty-free stores along The Royal Promenade, with Solera existing as the official go-to retail store for guests’ cosmetics, skincare and fragrance needs. Featured brands include Chanel, Dior, La Prairie, Lancome, Shiseido, as well as cutting-edge “doctor-brand” regimens.
•Willow – In contrast to the high-fashion finds at Prince & Green, Willow features casual sportswear for guests, ideally suited to the cruising lifestyle. Natural linen and organic clothing options for men and women are offered, as well as brands including Eileen Fisher, JMP, and Forest & Fauna. Willow also will offer products from the World of Good line whose proceeds benefit non-profit organizations around the world, as well as socially responsible artisans. The store also will feature ethnically sourced gifts and products that are supported by the World of Good organization.
Boardwalk
•Candy Beach – A boardwalk isn’t complete without a candy shop. And Candy Beach is the ultimate candy store, offering more than 72 varieties of candy for mixing and matching. Vintage candy treats from the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s are also available.
•Carousel Cart – The hand-carved carousel onboard Oasis is undoubtedly one of the most unique features on the ship. After paying the carousel a visit, guests can browse the selection of apparel, accessories and souvenirs that celebrate this nostalgic pastime and popular Oasis attraction.
•Pinwheels – Younger cruisers can head to Pinwheels to find a range of clothing and accessories for children of all ages. Kid-favored brands such as Crayola as well as Royal Caribbean merchandise in tyke sizes are all offered. Pinwheels also hosts a play area equipped with LEGO stations and a number of other popular games for children.
•Star Pier – Star Pier is a hybrid of all things tweens and teens adore. From clothing labels including Roxy, Quiksilver, and DC Apparel to an electronic games and accessories outpost alive with a DJ station and Wii game area, this is not the average teen clothing store.
The Pool and Sports Zone
•Breeze – An open-air shop located on the pool deck, Breeze is conveniently stocked with all the fun-in-the-sun must haves that make for a perfect lazy, or not-so-lazy, day in the sun. Light reads, sunglasses, tote bags, and sun care products are all offered here.
When she launches in late 2009, Oasis of the Seas will be the largest and most revolutionary cruise ship in the world. An architectural marvel at sea, she will span 16 decks, encompass 225,282 gross registered tons (GRT), carry 5,400 guests at double occupancy, and feature 2,700 staterooms. Oasis of the Seas will be the first ship to tout the cruise line’s new neighborhood concept of seven distinct themed areas, which include Central Park, Boardwalk, the Royal Promenade, the Pool and Sports Zone, Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center and Entertainment Place. The ship will sail from her home port of Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla
