Royal CaribbeanMore than just a Caribbean CruiseRoyal Caribbean International is the Carnival Corporations main competitor in the world of cruising. What makes Royal Caribbean stand out from the rest of the crowd are the innovations offered on their ships. They were the first to introduce an internal promenade with staterooms that have windows offering an internal view. Climbing walls, mini golf courses, in-line skating and an ice skating rink are also among their firsts. The holder of the title of worlds largest cruise ship also belongs to Royal Caribbean a feat that will be extended further at the end of 2009 with the introduction of the first of the Genesis class of cruise ship.In the UK, Royal Caribbean is represented by Independence of the Seas a massive 158,000 ton cruise ship in the Freedom class. This ship will be offering cheap cruises from Southampton. For those not wanting to cruise the sometimes dubious waters of the Bay of Biscay, the Mediterranean sea is well served by ships, including two of the large Voyager class ships that cruise out of places such as Barcelona. Most of the western Mediterranean can be reached by air in a little over two hours, making the fly cruise a really attractive alternative to the cruises from the UK. Whatever type of cruise you are interested in Cruise XYZ can offer you fantastic prices, meaning that a Royal Caribbean Cruise need not break the bank. |
