Guests sailing aboard Royal Caribbean's brand new Allure of the Seas are coming from the United Kingdom and in many cases, they aren't going for the cheapest cabins either. Royal Caribbean announced that most British passengers booking voyages on Allure of the Seas are opting for the most expensive accommodation.
About 66% of Brits that booked one of Allure's sailings thus far have gone with a balcony, deluxe or suite accommodation according to Royal Caribbean. In addition, the Crown Loft Suites (glass-fronted loft apartment style rooms) are already sold out for the sailing that will celebrate New Years Eve at sea.
Royal Caribbean vice president and managing director for the United Kingdom and Ireland was happy with the statistics, “We are really pleased by the continued growth of the UK and Irish cruise market, and even during these tough economic times, we see our guests return time and again. We are confident that the launch of Allure of the Seas will continue to stimulate and drive further interest in the cruise holiday proposition, simply because we offer great ships with an incredible experience on-board”.
