Oasis Inaugural Year Itineraries
OASIS OF THE SEAS VISITS NEW AND REVITALIZED CARIBBEAN PORTS DURING INAUGURAL YEAR Sailings Include the New Port of Falmouth, Jamaica, and Royal Caribbean's Expanded Private Beach Destination at Labadee, Haiti MIAMI – For more than three years, the buzz had been building about Royal Caribbean International’s new Oasis of the Seas, the 5,400-guest cruise ship that’s redefining the cruise experience. Had you heard? She has an open-air park running down her center, and an old- fashioned boardwalk-style entertainment neighborhood with a real carousel. Had you heard? She has a three-acre Pool and Sports Zone, and an AquaTheater whose pool hosts high-dive shows, water ballet, and even SCUBA diving. But beyond all that, there’s a fact that sometimes gets overlooked: Oasis of the Seas goes places too. During her inaugural year, Oasis of the Seas offers three seven-night Caribbean itineraries and several special cruises, all from her home port of Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and visiting two ports that have been created (and in one case recreated) specifically with the ship's guests in mind. Oasis of the Seas begins her inaugural year on December 1, 2009, with a special four- night Labadee Extravaganza cruise, designed to highlight the amazing new features at Royal Caribbean’s private Haitian beach paradise. Earlier this year, Labadee completed a $55 million expansion that added a new 800-foot pier, a Barefoot Beach Club with private cabanas, an alpine roller coaster with an individual controls for each car, new dining facilities, and a new, larger Artisan’s Market.

Statewide Cruise Perspective
Florida’s Cruise Industry Statewide Perspective Executive Summary Florida has long held the distinction of being the number one U.S. cruise state, home to the top three cruise ports in the world — PortMiami, Port Everglades and Port Canaveral. However, Florida is in danger of losing this economically favorable status, with potential redeployment of the increasingly large floating assets of the cruise industry to other markets. Great future opportunity clearly exists, as the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) continues to cite the cruise industry as the fastest-growing segment of the travel industry and notes that because only approximately 24 percent of U.S. adults have ever Cruise ships at PortMiami taken a cruise vacation, there remains an enormous untapped market. Introduction As detailed in this report, the cruise industry is Recognizing the importance of the cruise industry continuing to bring new ships into service on a global to the present and future economic prosperity basis, with a focus upon larger vessels, those capable of the state of Florida, the Florida Department of of carrying as many as 4,000 or more passengers Transportation commissioned this report to furnish a per sailing – twice the capacities of the vessels statewide perspective. introduced as the first “megaships” two decades ago. The report is designed to help provide a framework While the larger vessels provide opportunities for for actions—including engagement with cruise lines greater economic impacts, they may not consistently and cruise ports and appropriate deployment of fiscal be deployed at Florida ports if the appropriate resources—to ensure that Florida retains and enhances infrastructure is not in place.
