RCCL Genesis Ships Named!

May 23rd, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in Allure of the Seas, Genesis Class, Oasis of the Seas, Royal Caribbean
After a "Name that Ship" contest which brought in over 91,000 entries, two names have been chosen for the upcoming "Genesis Class" Royal Caribbean ships.

The new names are to be Oasis of the Seas (launching in 2009) and Allure of the Seas (2010). George Weiser, of Livonia, Mich., submitted the names. He will name the entire class of new ships.

When launched in late 2009, the Oasis of the Seas will be the largest cruise ship in the world, with 16 decks and 2,700 staterooms, and coming in at 220,000 gross registered tons with capacity for 5,400 guests. It will homeport at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale.

That's one big Oasis and Allure! Looking forward to seeing if they live up to their respective names!
