Perhaps the Kate and Wills let’s-forget-all-about-the-recession feel good factor is kicking in already.
Royal Caribbean International is reporting that two thirds of Brits who have booked to sail on its swanky new supership Allure of the Seas have opted to stay in the higher-end cabins.
It says some 66% of Brits booked on early sailings will stay in balcony, deluxe or suite accommodation.
Passengers with balconies will get either views out to sea or over the $1.5 billion ship’s park which stretches further than a football pitch and has 12,000 trees and plants.
The cruise operator says that holidaymakers from all nations who are planning to ring in the new year on board the ship are throwing financial caution to the wind – all its twin-level loft-style glass fronted Crown Loft Suites are booked up for the December 26 2010 sailing.
UK and Ireland vice president and managing director Dominic Paul said: “We are really pleased by the continued growth of the UK and Irish cruise market, and even during these tough economic times, we see our guests return time and again.
"We are confident that the launch of Allure of the Seas will continue to stimulate and drive further interest in the cruise holiday proposition, simply because we offer great ships with an incredible experience on-board”.
