aboard
Serenade of the Seas. Bookings for 2009-10 Mexican Riviera
and Panama Canal cruises open Tuesday and Thursday, respectively.
"For the first time, Royal Caribbean is offering a second choice for
cruisers to embark on a Mexico cruise from the Southern California port
of San Diego," said Alice Norsworthy, senior vice president, Marketing,
Royal Caribbean International. "Vacationers, as well as groups and
incentives
travelers will now have more choices for the best cruise offerings from
the West Coast to visit the timeless colonial charms of the Mexican
Riviera aboard the industry's most innovative cruise ships."

round-trip from Los Angeles with ports of call at Cabo San Lucas,
Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan. One of the largest cruise ships in the
world,
Mariner offers guests revolutionary amenities, such as
an onboard ice-skating rink, full-size basketball court, inline skating
track, iconic rock-climbing wall, and the Royal Promenade, a boulevard
of shops, restaurants, bars and lounges that runs nearly the length of
the ship.
For the 2009 autumn season,
Radiance of the Seas will feature a four-night itinerary with a call at Cabo San Lucas, and a five-night itinerary which also calls at Ensenada.
Radianceis one of Royal Caribbean's Radiance family of ships, which features
the highest percentage of oceanview staterooms in the line's fleet, and
a 10-story atrium with glass elevators offering spectacular vistas of
the sea.
Vacationers also can choose four distinct Panama Canal
crossing itineraries, ranging from 13 to 15 nights, with departures
from Miami, San Diego and San Juan, Puerto Rico aboard
Serenade of the Seas, another Radiance-class ship.

Broadway-style musical revues from Royal Caribbean Productions,
multiple onboard bars, lounges and discos throughout the ship, and
Vegas-style gaming in the Casino Royale. The ships' onboard Day Spa
also offers a full range of rejuvenating treatments, and the
adults-only Solarium pool provides a more sedate and relaxing
environment.
Younger cruisers will laugh and learn in the line's top-rated
Adventure Ocean kids programming with teen-only spaces fleetwide. Or,
the whole family can stay in, order room service - always complimentary
24 hours a day - and catch a popular on-demand movie.
