Emmy-Winning Morning Show to Broadcast Live November 20th from the
World's Largest and Most Revolutionary Cruise Ship MIAMI, Oct. 15
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- This November, just in time for
Thanksgiving, Royal Caribbean International will unveil their
newest and most innovative cruise ship, Oasis of the Seas. ABC's
"Good Morning America" will be there to welcome Oasis of the Seas
into her home port of Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. and
give viewers an exclusive first glimpse of the highly anticipated
ship during a special live broadcast. GMA fans across the country
can tune in on Friday, November 20, 2009, from 7:00 am - 9:00 am
(ET) on ABC to join "Good Morning America" for a never-before-seen
sneak peek at the seven distinct neighborhoods and many spectacular
elements and features onboard Oasis of the Seas. Some of these
unique features include Central Park, the first park at sea with
nearly 12,000 plants and trees; Boardwalk, a family oriented
environment with a hand carved carousel; a thrilling zip wire ride
that races diagonally over Boardwalk 90 feet above the deck; 28
multilevel loft suites boasting floor-to-ceiling windows; and the
AquaTheater - an amphitheater style space that serves as a pool by
day and a dazzling oceanfront theater by night. "We couldn't think
of a better way to launch Oasis of the Seas than by partnering with
"Good Morning America" to show her off on morning television for
the very first time," said Adam Goldstein, President and CEO, Royal
Caribbean International. "Oasis of the Seas is our most innovative
and imaginative ship yet, and we are confident that the millions of
viewers will be wowed by what they see." In addition to the live
broadcast, and in the spirit of giving and sharing, Royal Caribbean
and "Good Morning America" are working with ABC affiliate stations
in six markets - Hartford, Miami, New York, Orlando, San Francisco
and Seattle - to execute a contest/search for people who have done
something extraordinary for their community, making friends and
neighbors thankful for the effort. Three deserving individuals
(plus guest) in each market will win a trip to join GMA for the
live broadcast onboard Oasis of the Seas, and will enjoy an
exclusive pre-inaugural cruise following the show. When she enters
service in December 2009, Oasis of the Seas will be the largest and
most revolutionary cruise ship in the world. An architectural
marvel at sea, she will span 16 decks, encompass 225,282 gross
registered tons, carry 5,400 guests at double occupancy, and
feature 2,700 staterooms. Oasis of the Seas will be the first ship
to tout the cruise line's new neighborhood concept of seven
distinct themed areas, which includes Central Park, Boardwalk, the
Royal Promenade, the Pool and Sports Zone, Vitality at Sea Spa and
Fitness Center, Entertainment Place and Youth Zone. The ship will
sail from her home port of Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
