Allure of the Seas New Debut Date

Royal Caribbean today announced its next cruise ship, Allure of the Seas, will debut one week earlier than expected.

The line says the 5,400-passenger sister to the Oasis of the Seas now will set sail on its maiden voyage on Dec. 5 instead of Dec. 12. The inaugural itinerary is a seven-night cruise to the Western Caribbean out of Fort Lauderdale.

Passengers booked on the original inaugural sailing date will be contacted by their travel agent or a Royal Caribbean representative and given the opportunity to move their cruise to the new Dec. 5 sailing date. Passengers will also be re-accommodated in the same cabin catagory, and have until the end of February to make the change.

At 225,282 tons, Allure of the Seas will share the title of the world's largest cruise ship. Like sister ship Oasis, it will have 2,700 cabins and room for nearly 6,300 passengers.
