Royal Caribbean International Expands Presence in the Middle East With
2010 Deployment in Dubai
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Oct. 13
Royal Caribbean International today announced its entry into Dubai in
the United Arab Emirates with the deployment of Brilliance of the Seas
in 2010. From January to April 2010, the cruise line will offer its
signature style of cruising for active vacationers to an international
mix of guests, on seven-night sailings from this increasingly popular
destination. Itineraries for the new cruises from Dubai will be
announced in the coming weeks.
"Dubai is a dynamic and thriving city that shows great growth
potential. Building on our reputation for introducing revolutionary
cruise experiences, we are excited to provide a different cruise
vacation than traditionally offered in this region," said Michael
Bayley, senior vice president, international, Royal Caribbean Cruises
Ltd. "Royal Caribbean continues to attract vacationers globally and we
are thrilled to offer new and exciting choices for our guests --
combining our distinct onboard amenities with compelling itineraries
including the Arabian Gulf's most popular destinations."
During a visit to Dubai this week, Rama Rebbapragada, regional vice
president, international sales and marketing, Royal Caribbean Cruises
Ltd. added, "We continue to win devotees from throughout the Middle
East and are pleased to have exceeded our 2008 sales target for the
region, achieving significant growth over last year."
Brilliance of the Seas has a sleek profile and features vast expanses
of open space, mirrored surfaces and glass paneling -- nearly three
acres of exterior glass. The open Centrum with ten-deck high windows
and ocean-facing glass elevators offers guests breathtaking vistas of
the passing landscape and sea. Among the ship's unique features is a
pair of ultra-high-tech, self-leveling pool tables in the Bombay
Billiards Club.
For Royal Caribbean's typically active guests, recreational amenities
include a rock-climbing wall, jogging track, basketball and volleyball
court, golf simulator and nine-hole miniature golf course, and a large
gym with treadmills facing the sea.
Five dining venues allow guests to enjoy a variety of choices, from
Chops Grille steakhouse to Portofino Italian restaurant, Minstrel main
dining room, or the casual Windjammer Cafe and Seaview Cafe.
Freshly-brewed coffee, cappuccino or pastries can be found in
Latte-tudes coffee bar.
Continuing its legacy of creating revolutionary vacation experiences,
Royal Caribbean is set to take cruising to the next level with its
latest project that has already received widespread international
attention. Due to launch in November 2009, Oasis of the Seas will be
the largest, most revolutionary cruise ship in the world. An
architectural marvel at sea, the ship will span 16 decks, carry up to
5,400 guests, and feature 2,700 staterooms, as well as seven unique
neighborhoods that provide vacationers with a multitude of experiences
and environments to suit their moods. The six announced neighborhoods
include Central Park, a lush, expansive, open-sky space, lined with
restaurants and boutiques, accented by grass, trees and seasonal
flora; Boardwalk, a breathtaking seaside-inspired entertainment
environment for families, featuring the AquaTheater, the first
amphitheater and deepest freshwater pool at sea; and an enhanced Royal
Promenade, twice as wide as those on the Freedom- and Voyager-class
ships and with a new mezzanine level overlooking the boulevard of
restaurants, bars and lounges, and shops.
Royal Caribbean International is a global cruise brand with 21 ships
currently in service and two under construction. The line also offers
unique cruisetour vacations in Alaska, Asia, Australia, Canada,
Europe, South America and New Zealand. For additional information or
to make reservations, call your travel agent.

Just don't get caught having sex on the beach in Dubai -- 3 months in
jail! And, I don't need to mention -- not a great place for gay people
to go! That place is back in the 18th century.

Jeff, by "sex on the beach", do you mean the drink or the act? I
suspect both are frowned upon.
Jeff
Oh yeah, good point, both probably are frowned on, but read an article
online the other day about this brit couple that got 3 months in jail
for the, ummm, non drink version, lol.

Yeah, I read the paper after I saw your post.
Let's see, PDA, drunk, having sex outside of marriage. Did they get
one month on each, or is it concurrent sentences.
Money says they've been deported already, though. Marked PNG
