Join us aboard Royal Caribbean International’s Allure of the Seas, for its naming ceremony at a one-night cruise-to-nowhere. All proceeds benefit the United Ways of Miami-Dade and Broward counties. In addition, a $100,000 grant from the proceeds will go to support Royal Caribbean International’s educational efforts in Haiti.
The second in a class of the world’s largest and most innovative passenger ships, Allure of the Seas is an architectural marvel at sea. She spans 16 decks and touts Royal Caribbean’s exclusive neighborhood concept of seven distinct-themed areas which include Central Park, a lush, tropical garden the length of a football field that opens to the sky; a nostalgic Boardwalk complete with a one-of-a-kind AquaTheater and Carousel; a floating bar that moves up and down between three decks; an innovative zip line that has guests racing across the open air atrium nine decks high; and so much more. Allure of the Seas also offers incomparable entertainment including Chicago: The Musical, The DreamWorks Experience and Blue Planet.
“As I feel it is a privilege to live in this country, I also feel it is essential to dedicate my efforts to helping meet the needs of the community.” Lady Monica Heftler, honorary co-chair of and confirmed sponsor of Allure of the Seas.

United Way of Broward and Miami-Dade counties are the beneficiaries of the overnight charity cruise November 28-29, on Royal Caribbean International’s newest ship, Allure of the Seas. The one-night cruise will offer charitable contributors an opportunity to be among the first to experience this oceanic wonder, the second in a class of the world’s largest and most innovative passenger ships, before she makes her maiden voyage in December. The ship’s naming ceremony, a time-honored tradition rich in pomp and circumstance, also will be held as part of this benefit.
In addition, a $100,000 grant from the proceeds will go to support Royal Caribbean International’s education efforts in Haiti.
