Earlier this week we talked with Lisa Bauer, Royal Caribbean's SVP of Hotel Operations, about changes the line is making aboard Allure of the Seas to keep it slightly different from its sister, Oasis of the Seas. Today she is telling us about new Oasis-like features she is rolling backward onto Oasis' "little" sisters, Freedom of the Seas and Liberty of the Seas.

* A Reasonable Facsimile, but No Carbon Copy
Royal Caribbean's Senior VP of Hotel Operations Lisa Bauer has a countdown clock above the door of her office. Today it says 172 days and several hours, counting down the minutes until the delivery of Allure of the Seas, the sister to Oasis of the Seas. It's crunch time for Bauer as she deals not only with staffing the new ship and all the other things that go along with accommodating another 6,000-plus customers every week, but she's also dealing with a number of new features which will make their debut aboard Allure - things that don't exist on Oasis or any of her other ships.
Yesterday, Bauer spent some time detailing for our readers some of the changes aboard Allure of the Seas that will set it apart from her sister.

Princess Details Enhanced Onboard Product for New Zealand Cruises
* And You Thought It Was All about Little Brown Furry Fruit
If you fly halfway around the world (or even if you don't) for a cruise to a place you've never been, it's nice to be immersed in the destination. It's nice too, if the cruise is different - to set it apart from all the other cruises you've been on. And that's just what Princess is trying to do on their series of 18 cruises this year between Australia and New Zealand.
Princess will operate a series of cruises from Australia to New Zealand with their two Sun-class ships during the austral summer of 2010-11. While most of the passengers will be sourced from Australia, a significant number of North Americans are also finding their way to the series of sailings because of the unusual itineraries. For both, Princess is creating an onboard product for these cruises that will set them apart with "everything New Zealand," and make the passengers feel like they have already arrived on the islands.
