Royal Caribbean will be unveiling the world’s largest ship the Oasis of the Seas on November 30, 2009 at the Port Everglades Cruise Terminal in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. What’s more, the cruise liner plans to host a celebration fundraiser for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Royal Caribbean plans to donate 100 percent of the sales from 1,000 of its staterooms to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, an organization that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. Those that book one of the staterooms will have the opportunity to secure an exclusive discounted price on four-night cruise packages departing on December 1, the night after the event.
Children and their families who are part of the Make-A-Wish Foundation will be able to participate in the festivities on November 30, and enjoy the special inaugural event that includes live music, entertainment and access to signature amenities on board including the Vitality Spa and Fitness Center, the Pool and Sports Zone, and two Flow Rider surf simulators. All guests attending the celebration will also have the chance to enjoy a special dinner in the Opus Dining Room, and participate in gaming activities in the Casino Royale.
Royal Caribbean has hosted more than 1,300 children who have wished to go on a cruise destination since 2000, and this event will be one of the biggest celebrations to date. The cruise line has raised more than $480,000 to make the wishes of children come true this year.
The Oasis of the Seas cruise ship will be the most revolutionary cruise ship in the world, according to a recent press release from Royal Caribbean, spanning 16 decks and accommodating for 5,400 guests at double occupancy. The ship has been built with 2,700 staterooms and features a neighborhood concept design with several themed areas including the Royal Promenade, Central Park, the Boardwalk, and the Entertainment Place among others.
