The Suite Life......

If you book a suite in your future Cruises with Royal Caribbean
International you will gain a taste of luxury not seen among
mainstream cruise lines. Coming next month, Royal Caribbean is adding
expedited check-in, room-services, and personal attention to
successive levels of suites. On top of this, suites are receiving
upgraded fittings, sofas, deck chairs, and more.

The highest levels of suites, Presidential Family, Royal Family,
Royal, Owner's, and Grand Suites will have their own security line,
with the top two being escorted by a ships officer to
theiraccomodations.

Grand Suites will receive an assortment of food and comfort items on
arrival, a cheese tray prior to the first formal dinner. The room
service which nowincur a fee to non-suite passengers will be waived to
those in these cabins. In addition, free pressing will be provided
for passenger cloth prior to formal evening.

Other perks include reserved seating in the theater, a reception with
the ships master, and priority for bookings in the spa and salon. The
Voyager family ships will add reserved poolside and Studio B seating
as well, and use of the premiumrestaurants next to Windjammer for
breakfast and lunch.

Not to be forgotten, Junior Suite passengers will get a silver colored
pass-card for their own perks.

Big wall, great big wall.......

The massive terminal being built at Port Everglades is coming
together. A massive tilt-wall made the news recently, as it was
hoisted into place. Tilt walls are simply pouredconcrete walls, which
are, as the name implies, tilted up on one edge into their final
position. In this case, a 45 foot by 57 foot section, the second
biggest every attempted, was tipped into place. It is appropriate
given the terminal it will be the entrance to is for Oasis of the
Seas, the largest passenger vessel ever built.

Funding Forthcoming.......

If you have been watching the SEC filings that come and go, you'll
have noticed two major filings revealing nearly 22,000,000 shares of
Royal Caribbean International (RCL) have been issued. The date of the
actual event comes after the fourth quarter was over, and I'm not an
expert on such things. But it seems clear the private sector still
has great faith in Richard Fain and Royal Caribbean. Times like those
we have tend to mask the fact that things do eventually recover and
move forward. Even at a depressed share price, the amount generated
likely was considerable.

Other Notes........

I'm putting the last touches on my questions to cruise director Kirk
Detweiler and look forward to sharing his responses with you soon!

In the meantime, help the Royal Caribbean Fan community, post a
picture, share a question or story! More fun is coming soon!
