NEW ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISES 2009-2010
For the new 2009-2010 cruise season, Royal Caribbean is
adding three new ports to the delight of regular cruisers.
Cruisers can now visit the ports of Grenada, Dominica, St Kitts,
St Croix and Tortola.
Consistently pleasant weather, beautiful beaches and rich
cultures make the Caribbean a rejuvenating and enriching
region for a tropical getaway or a family cruise vacation. For
the 2009-10 cruise season, Royal Caribbean International will
offer 31 distinct itineraries on 264 sailings, ranging from six to
14 nights. Vacationers can choose departures aboard nine of
the world’s largest and most innovative cruise ships from the
ports of Miami, Port Everglades, and Port Canaveral, FL; Cape
Liberty in Bayonne, NJ; Galveston, TX; San Juan, PR; and
Colon, Panama. Booking for Royal Caribbean’s 2009-10
Caribbean cruises open this week.
ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISES TO THE CARIBBEAN
Vacationers can choose year-round departures to the
Caribbean from the ports of Miami, Port Canaveral, Cape
Liberty, and San Juan. Freedom of the Seas debuts at Port
Canaveral in May 2009 as the largest and most innovative
cruise ship in the port’s history. The Freedom-class cruise ship
will sail alternating Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries,
replacing Voyager-class Mariner of the Seas¸ which will depart
for its new homeport of Los Angeles in January 2009.
FREEDOM CLASS SHIPS
Unlike any other vacation experience, Royal Caribbean’s
Freedom-class of ships exclusively feature amenities that have
revolutionized the industry, such as the FlowRider surf
simulator, the H20 Zone water park, a boxing ring, cantilevered
whirlpools, and the four-bedroom/four-bath Presidential Family
Suite. With eight restaurants and more than 15 bars and
lounges, Freedom of the Seas, Liberty of the Seas, and
Independence of the Seas offer guests more ways to enjoy a
memorable Caribbean cruise vacation.
ROYAL CARIBBEAN LIBERTY OF THE SEAS
From Miami, Liberty will sail alternating seven-night Eastern
and Western Caribbean itineraries in the summer 2009
season, but changes to two alternating Western Caribbean
itineraries in the winter. Liberty’s traditional Western Caribbean
itinerary will alternate with a new Western Caribbean itinerary
in November, which includes ports of call at Belize City, Belize;
Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico; and Grand Cayman,
Cayman Islands.
ADVENTURE OF THE SEAS-FAMILY TRAVEL FUN FAVORITE
Adventure of the Seas will homeport year-round at San Juan,
offering two new alternating seven-night Southern Caribbean
itineraries with Sunday departures, while Serenade of the Seas
will join Adventure in the winter and offer a Saturday
departure. New ports of call at Grenada, Dominica and St.
Croix for both ships, and additionally Tortola and St. Kitts for
Serenade, create two back-to-back voyages with no repeat
calls. The distinct alternating itineraries of either ship will give
vacationers the opportunity to combine two sailings into an
extended 14-night Southern Caribbean odyssey.
Additional winter season highlights include the following
itineraries:
INDEPENDENCE OF THE SEAS
Independence of the Seas will sail six-night Western Caribbean
and eight-night Eastern Caribbean itineraries from Port
Everglades, giving vacationers a choice of six Caribbean
itineraries aboard one of three Freedom-class ships.

Southern Caribbean itineraries, ranging from eight to 12
nights. A special 14-night holiday cruise departs December 20,
2009.

2009 to offer two alternating Western Caribbean itineraries,
