Royal Caribbean Opens Dance Floor to Vacationers in New Production
Show
Inspired by Hit TV Show, "Invitation to Dance" Makes Guests the Stars
on Explorer of the Seas
MIAMI, Jan. 9
Royal Caribbean International guests can Rumba, Samba, Cha-Cha, Waltz
or Swing into the spotlight in "Invitation to Dance," the cruise
line's newest production show featuring guests as stars aboard
Explorer of the Seas. Created in conjunction with Louis van Amstel,
Emmy-nominated choreographer for ABC-TV's "Dancing with the Stars,"
and Cheryl Burke, two-time winner on the show, "Invitation to Dance"
transports the world of professional ballroom dancing to the high
seas.

Guests sailing on Explorer have the opportunity to compete for the
honor of best ballroom dancers at sea. With the guidance of
professional dancers, stylists and make-up artists, guests may just
realize their true calling while on vacation.
"Invitation to Dance' is another example of Royal Caribbean's dynamic
and innovative approach to offering engaging entertainment and
activities for our guests," said Peter Compton, vice president,
Entertainment and Guest Activities, Royal Caribbean International.
"With all the excitement surrounding competitive dancing on
television, we are now challenging our guests to live out a dream
while enjoying their cruise vacation."
Chosen during an evening of ballroom dancing at the beginning of each
cruise, four couples are selected to participate in the "Invitation to
Dance" production show later that week. The finalists work with Royal
Caribbean's professional ballroom couples to learn slick dance moves,
attend costume fittings, and receive star treatment in preparation for
their Royal Caribbean stage debut. Showtime is an exciting evening in
the spotlight for the dancing couples as they join the Royal Caribbean
cast on stage and compete against each other for the applause and
support of their fellow guests.
Explorer of the Seas sails year-round from Cape Liberty Cruise Port in
Bayonne, NJ, on five-night Bermuda getaway cruises and nine-night
Caribbean vacations.
Royal Caribbean International is a global cruise brand with 21 ships
currently in service and three under construction. The line also
offers unique land-tour vacations in Alaska, Asia, Australia, Canada,
Europe, South America and New Zealand through its cruisetour division.
