Royal Caribbean International has been recognized with 20 Travel Weekly Magellan Awards. Revitalized with more delectable dining choices, exciting entertainment and innovative amenities, Baltimore-based Grandeur of the Seas garnered Gold in the contemporary Large Cruise Ships category. The Loft Suites of Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas also were honored with the Gold Award in the Premium Ship category, recognizing that the Oasis-class ships cater to up-market guests and offer a luxurious experience for couples and families.
Furthermore, Oasis of the Seas was honored with a Gold Award in the Eco-friendly “Green” Cruise Ship category. The award, in part, recognizes Royal Caribbean’s achievement in repurposing 100 percent of Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas’ operational waste. Working with Port Everglades and vendors, and applying the best available technologies and practices in waste management, the cruise line has successfully minimized waste sources; optimized onboard waste management; and leveraged beneficial shoreside uses, such as re-using, recycling, donating or applying in waste-to-energy generation.
