AZAMARA CLUB CRUISES, CELEBRITY CRUISES AND ROYAL CARIBBEAN
INTERNATIONAL TAKE CHOICEAIR TO NEXT LEVEL WITH NEW SPECIALS

MIAMI, December 15, 2009 � ChoiceAir, the innovative air travel
program that Azamara Club Cruises, Celebrity Cruises and Royal
Caribbean International launched earlier this year, is now set to
provide even more benefits to cruisers, with yesterday�s introduction
of
�ChoiceAir Specials.�
Since August, the three cruise lines� travel agent partners and guests
have had access to highly competitive airfares, along with full
control of their air arrangements through ChoiceAir. Beginning today,
with the launch of ChoiceAir Specials, the three cruise lines are
offering even more value on certain sailings when accompanied with
ChoiceAir arrangements.
�ChoiceAir Specials provide dollars-off savings that make our cruise
vacations an even more compelling value," said Doug Santoni, senior
vice president of Revenue Management, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.
�Cruisers appreciate that ChoiceAir provides value and choice, but
many don�t realize that ChoiceAir also includes a bonus in the form of
travel support before, during and after their trip. It�s more than
just helping our guests find great flights at great prices and choose
the flight options that work best for them. ChoiceAir guests have
peace of mind, knowing that the ChoiceAir team is watching out for
them on the way to and from their cruise vacation, offering support in
the event of disruptions to airline schedules that might otherwise
jeopardize their cruise vacation.�
When guests book ChoiceAir with their cruise, they can be more
confident in their vacation decision and the value they are receiving,
and this should result in fewer guest cancellations and changes. This
translates into the ultimate in value and selection for guests, while
helping travel agents to secure more business. With the addition of
ChoiceAir Specials, travel partners now have another tool to assist in
making the sale, upgrading the sale, and reaching out to new clients.
ChoiceAir provides the three cruise lines� guests with the ability to
select flights from all published airline schedules, taking advantage
of some of the most competitive fares, as well as exclusive promotions
available only through Azamara Club Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Royal
Caribbean International and their travel agent partners. Additionally,
ChoiceAir offers the convenience of single-phone-call service and
day-of-travel support in the event of airline schedule disruptions.
ChoiceAir Specials provide an additional discount off the price of the
cruise vacation on certain sailings when accompanied with air
purchased through the three cruise lines� ChoiceAir program.
Guests can purchase ChoiceAir Specials through a travel agent,
directly from Azamara Club Cruises, Celebrity Cruises and Royal
Caribbean International contact centers, and online at each of the
cruise lines� secure ChoiceAir websites:
