The Tony award-winning Broadway-licensed musical, 'Hairspray,' is set to debut on Royal Caribbean International's highly anticipated Oasis of the Seas when the ship sets sail from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in December 2009. One of two productions to take place in the ship's grand Opal Theater, Hairspray will open with a wide array of cruise industry firsts that the cruise line will debut with the launch of Oasis of the Seas and is another addition to its diverse entertainment offerings. "We are thrilled to bring to our guests a ground-breaking entertainment feature such as Hairspray on Oasis of the Seas," said Peter Compton, vice president, Entertainment, Royal Caribbean International. "The addition of this popular musical to Royal Caribbean's entertainment lineup will undoubtedly take cruise entertainment to the next level and cater to the evolving tastes of vacationers. Guests will be able to enjoy an award-winning Broadway-caliber production on Oasis of the Seas along with a myriad of revolutionary onboard amenities for a most memorable cruise vacation." The show is licensed to Royal Caribbean International for three years aboard Oasis of the Seas with an option for a fourth year. Under the agreement, which was struck with the aid of New York City-based Music Theater International and Broadway Theatrical, the show will be available exclusively to the cruise line, ensuring the 'feel good' performance will be the only of its kind at sea. With the introduction of Hairspray, Oasis of the Seas will offer a myriad of diverse entertainment choices for guests including an innovative aerial show - yet to be formally announced - which also will make its home in the Opal Theater. In addition to the headlining shows, guests can visit Entertainment Place, one of seven diverse neighborhoods on Oasis of the Seas, which will offer Jazz on 4, an intimate lounge filled with live jazz and blues; Comedy Live, featuring side-splitting comedy; Studio B with an ice show, 'Frozen in Time' featuring the writings of Hans Christian Anderson; and more. Entertainment experiences also will be found in all of the remaining neighborhoods on Oasis of the Seas, including Dazzles, a two-floor dance lounge featuring musically-themed evenings; and the Boardwalk with AquaTheater - a one-of-a-kind venue at the stern of the ship - which will play host to two aqua shows, 'Splish Splash,' a comedy dive show and 'Oasis of Dreams,' featuring aquatic acrobatics synchronized to a spectacle of music and lights. Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas will be the largest and most revolutionary cruise ships in the world when launched in December 2009 and December 2010, respectively. Architectural marvels at sea, both ships will span 16 decks, encompass 220,000 gross registered tons, carry 5,400 guests at double occupancy, and feature 2,700 staterooms. Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas will tout the cruise line's new neighborhood concept of seven distinct themed areas, which include Central Park, Boardwalk, the Royal Promenade, the Pool and Sports Zone, Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center, and Entertainment Place. The two ships will sail from their homeport of Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Kevin?? what do you mean not good?? I call this excellent news!.. I feel you have to consider the economy, they were expected to lose 35 cents per share 1Q when in fact they lost only 17 cents .. about half of what most anyslists called for they also projected looking forward they will stand a good chance of breaking even or making a small penny profit per share 2quarter.. Personally I think this is excellent news.. But what do I know .. I am A Joey..

200 days from embarkation... are we all packed yet?

indoor or outdoor?

Key Highlights First quarter 2009 net loss was $36.2 million, or $0.17 per share, compared to net income of $75.6 million, or $0.35 per share in 2008. The results were significantly better than prior guidance of a loss of between $0.30 - $0.35. Net Yields for the first quarter decreased 13.5% versus 2008, better than the company's guidance of down 14% to 16%. Net Cruise Costs per APCD ("NCC") declined 7.0%, better than guidance of down 4% - 6%. NCC excluding bunker, declined 6.8% as compared to the first quarter of 2008 and versus guidance of a decrease of 5% to 7%. The improved cost control carries forward to provide expected full year NCC excluding bunker of down 6%-8%. For the year, the company projects revenue yields to be toward the lower end of its previous guidance (12%) - (13%). The slightly reduced revenue expectations are largely offset by the improved cost outlook and are expected to result in 2009 earnings per share of around $1.35. As of March 31, the company had $1.1 billion in liquidity and expects to generate over $1 billion in operating cash flow in 2009. The company recently received commitments for financing of Royal Caribbean International's Oasis of the Seas and signed credit agreements for Celebrity Equinox and Celebrity's fourth Solstice-class vessel scheduled to enter service in 2011.

Milk used to come in a box like that when i was a kid.. we could get it delivered in 2.5 gallon boxes... little spout and all ....anyone else remember that?

and at least a two and a quarter acres at that

I would hope would but ... you know how humans are

PLUS its not smart to drink and drive

I knew there was another one in the house...or in this case on board!

with that groups mentality..I would not be surpised to learn they had rescinded the tips that were due.. some people just don't get it..

or graham crackers..

Let us know if it gets deleted...

ours may be hefty too now that you mention it... i say zip-lock as a generic name for a bag that seals...,.

give David credit for that .. all those years on the road for Amtrak gave him packing skillz.. I've done that before but never put the clothes in ziplock bags. and for the better clothes maybe put tissue paper in with them. but how does your men's shirts do? I still get some wrinkles He has it down to a science.... shirts are fine..

Have a Great Cruise! BonVoyage Jackie and Tony
