Unparalleled onboard entertainment venues, shows and activity options aboard Oasis of the Seas

When the world’s largest cruise ship, RCI’s Oasis of the Seas, enters service this December, she will introduce a unique and varied collection of entertainment and activities for all ages and interests. Highlights include West End-style shows, high diving, acrobatic exhibitions, comedy acts, theme nights and parades.

RCI is also making it easier for passengers to plan their entertainment and activities with show schedules made available for pre-booking prior to boarding at www.royalcaribbean.com. Under the Cruise Enhancements page of the RCI website, passengers can view show schedules by title, day and time and make advance reservations up to three months prior to departure for shows at venues including the Opal Theatre, Studio B ice-skating rink, Comedy Live and Aqua Theatre. Reservations made online will be recorded to each passengers’ Seapass card, which will serve as the show ‘ticket’. A traditional Box Office and a ticketing system using the in-stateroom TV will also be available for onboard reservations.

The headlining shows and entertainment offerings onboard Oasis of the Seas are as follows:

Opal Theatre

Seating 1,350, the Opal Theatre features a thrust stage and a proscenium extending into the audience to bring the action closer, and will present three different shows:

· Hairspray: The eight time Tony Award-winning musical is licensed exclusively to RCI. The 90-minute show features original costumes, sets, lighting designs, and a cast of performers, who were selected during a four city audition tour in London, New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. Hairspray will be performed four times throughout each cruise

· Come Fly with Me: This 45-minute show with interactive video, singing and dancing and aerial gymnastics will be performed four times during each cruise

· Headliner Showtime: Offered three times during each cruise, passengers will be delighted by the fabulous acts taking the stage including world-class singers, musicians, magicians and jugglers
