Royal Caribbean International is distinguishing itself from the rest of the Caribbean market by utilizing its four largest ships on its year round itineraries from its Florida ports of embarkation during the 2010-2011 season. These include Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas (220,000 tons) from Ft. Lauderdale, and Liberty of the Seas and Freedom of the Seas (158,000 tons) from Miami and Port Canveral, respectively.
The fifth ship in the year round program will be the smaller (90,000 tons) from San Juan.
The itineraries will also be tweaked. Details were in the Cruise News Daily article which appeared in the April 16, 2009 edition.
