Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Matt from Royal Caribbean Blog reports on the announcement that Royal Caribbean will homeport its first Oasis class ship, Allure of the Seas, in Galveston, Texas, starting in 2021. This move is supported by a deal to construct a new 100 million dollar cruise terminal at Pier 10. The two story facility will cover approximately 170 thousand square feet and is designed to accommodate the largest vessels in the fleet, including the upcoming Icon class ships. Construction on the terminal is scheduled to begin in April 2020 with an expected opening in the fall of 2021. The terminal will utilize sustainable design and advanced technology such as facial recognition to expedite guest arrivals. Regarding the ship itself, Allure of the Seas is slated for a 165 million dollar amplification in the summer of 2020. This renovation will introduce several new amenities including the Ultimate Abyss slide, The Perfect Storm water slides, and Giovanni's Italian Kitchen. The creator notes that the first sailings from the new Galveston homeport are expected to begin around November 10, 2021.
