Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas to Debut a Week Earlier

Royal Caribbean International announced that the first revenue voyage for Allure of the Seas’ inaugural season will take place one week earlier than originally planned. The first revenue voyage will be a seven-night Western Caribbean itinerary departing on Dec. 5.

The Allure of the Seas’ new cruise is now open for booking. Guests booked on the original inaugural season sail date of Dec. 12 will be contacted by their travel agent or a Royal Caribbean representative and given the opportunity to move their vacation to the new Dec. 5 sailing.

Booked guests who wish to take the Dec. 5 sailing will be re-accommodated in the same stateroom and category, and the cruise fare will be the lower of either the fare paid or current prices. Guests booked on the Dec. 12 sailing will have until the end of February to opt to change their cruise to the Dec. 5 sailing and ensure they keep the same stateroom.

Allure of the Seas shares the title of the world’s largest cruise ship with sister ship Oasis of the Seas. The 225,282-ton ships carry 5,400 guests at double occupancy in 2,700 staterooms.
