| Royal Caribbean Expands Rock Walls Across Fleet |
Royal Caribbean announced yesterday it plans to introduce its signature
Voyager-class rock climbing walls across the fleet. Interestingly, though,
the size and location of each ship's new wall will vary. All will be
somewhere between 8 - 10 meters high (Voyager-class rock climbing walls are
10 meters high). A Royal Caribbean spokeswoman says the rock climbing
walls will not replace any features, but will necessitate a varying degree
of relocations of other shipboard features -- on Sovereign-, Monarch- and
Majesty of the Seas, for instance, ship architects will move the basketball
court a deck below to make room. On Grandeur- and Enchantment of the Seas,
the rock-climbing wall will be located behind the "shipshape center." And so
on.
The retro-installations begin in late May with Monarch of the Seas and
schedules for the introduction are slated to run as follows: Majesty of the
Seas (June); Sovereign of the Seas (July); Rhapsody of the Seas (August);
Enchantment of the Seas (August); Grandeur of the Seas (October); Splendour
of the Seas (October); Vision of the Seas (October); Nordic Empress (November); and Legend of the Seas
(November). In addition, the walls will be added to Royal Caribbean's new,
as-yet-debuted vessels: Mariner of the Seas, Jewel of the Seas and Serenade
of the Seas.
The company plans to continue its "no extra charge" policy for rock-climbing
on board its ships. |  |
