<p>Royal Caribbean International today announced an itinerary change to 16 Western Caribbean sailings of Oasis of the Seas, the cruise line&rsquo;s highly anticipated cruise ship to begin service in December 2009. From May through November 2010, Oasis of the Seas will call at Mexico&rsquo;s port of Costa Maya, instead of the originally planned call at Falmouth, Jamaica. Oasis of the Seas&rsquo; Western Caribbean itinerary also will include calls at Cozumel, Mexico, and Labadee, Royal Caribbean&rsquo;s private beach paradise on the northern coast of Haiti.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&ldquo;We look forward to bringing Oasis of the Seas to the well-established destination of Costa Maya in 2010,&rdquo; said Craig Milan, senior vice president of Land Operations, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. &ldquo;We continue to look forward to calling at Falmouth on a regular basis with Oasis of the Seas and her sister ship Allure of the Seas. The completion of the port is going to take longer than we had hoped, but Falmouth will be outstanding when it is completed.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;On the modified itineraries, Oasis of the Seas will dock at Costa Maya&rsquo;s recently restored pier, providing guests easy access to shore without tendering. In Costa Maya, guests have a wide variety of shore excursion options, which can help make a memorable day in port. For example, guests can choose a sailing along the virgin coast of Costa Maya before diving in search of undersea life on Catamaran Sail &amp; Snorkel; enjoy the natural beauty and magic of hidden Mexico atop an all terrain vehicle before stopping to relax on a secluded beach on ATV Jungle &amp; Beach Adventure; or explore the virtually unexcavated Chacchoben Mayan ruins in the jungle near the Belizean border on the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins.</p>
<p>Oasis of the Seas will alternate its Western Caribbean itinerary with an Eastern Caribbean itinerary, which will include calls at St. Thomas, St. Maarten and Nassau, Bahamas. The ship is now scheduled to resume the original Western Caribbean itinerary and make its maiden call at the historic port of Falmouth during the ship&rsquo;s December 11, 2010 sailing.</p>
<p>When it launches in November 2009, Oasis of the Seas will be the largest and most revolutionary cruise ship in the world. An architectural marvel at sea, it will span 16 decks, encompass 220,000 gross registered tons, carry 5,400 guests at double occupancy, and feature 2,700 staterooms. Oasis of the Seas will be the first ship to tout the cruise line&rsquo;s new neighborhood concept of seven distinct themed areas, which includes Central Park, Boardwalk, the Royal Promenade, the Pool and Sports Zone, Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center, Entertainment Place and Youth Zone. The ship will sail from her home port of Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
