Allin Interactive High-Definition ITV Selected by Royal Caribbean for World's Largest Cruise Ships

PITTSBURGH, March 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Allin Corporation announced that it has secured an agreement with Royal Caribbean International to install Allin's DigiHD(TM) ITV solution on Oasis of the Seas, the world's largest and most revolutionary cruise ship ever built to be launched in November 2009. In addition, Allin has obtained a letter of intent to install the solution on sister-ship Allure of the Seas to be launched in 2010. The new vessels are currently under construction by STX Europe in Turku, Finland.

"We are honored and excited to be selected by Royal Caribbean International to deliver high-definition entertainment and passenger service on the Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas," stated Richard Talarico, Chairman and CEO of Allin Corporation. "Royal Caribbean is taking a coordinated, integrated approach to the onboard interactive experience, and we are proud that our DigiHD(TM) solution will be a component of the Royal Caribbean onboard media strategy going forward."

"With the wide range of choices and activities aboard every Royal Caribbean ship, it is our goal to provide guests with accurate and timely information in order to encourage participation and help create lasting cruise vacation memories," said Lisa Bauer, senior vice-president for hotel operations at Royal Caribbean International. "Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas will offer unprecedented onboard options and experiences. Allin ITV will help provide our guests with the ability to view current and upcoming activities, shows, and other dining and entertainment options from the comfort of their staterooms, as well as give them the ability to seamlessly make dining, shore excursion and other onboard reservations."

Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas will each span 16 decks, encompass 220,000 gross registered tons (GRT), carry 5,400 guests at double occupancy, and feature 2,700 staterooms. They will feature the cruise line's new neighborhood concept of seven distinct themed areas, which will offer guests of every age the widest array of onboard vacation experiences that cater to their personal styles, preferences or moods. New categories of onboard accommodations made possible by the ship's cutting-edge design include bi-level, urban-style Loft Suites; two bedroom/two bathroom AquaTheater Suites; and Central Park- and Boardwalk-facing exterior staterooms with balconies. Both will be home ported at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. More information about both ships' exciting, first-at-sea onboard amenities can be found at www.OasisoftheSeas.com.

Royal Caribbean International recently announced two additional sailings for Oasis of the Seas' inaugural season: a seven-night inaugural Eastern Caribbean itinerary, sailing on December 5, 2009; and a special four-night voyage -- departing December 1, 2009 -- to celebrate the launch of an all-new Labadee, Royal Caribbean's private beach paradise in Haiti.
