Royal Caribbean Line (RCL) has announced that its Splendour of the Seas refurbishment is to include iPads in all staterooms.
The work, part of an extensive refurbishment to the entire RCL fleet, has taken place over a five-week period, and has included new dining options and 124 new balcony staterooms.
The popular Apple devices, which are going to be available from February 2012, will offer guests a new way of viewing personal itineraries, accessing onboard information, monitoring their cruise account and viewing shore excursions.
“Based on consumer research, we added the iPads to greatly enhance guest communication, interactivity and to continue to offer industry leading technology that helps enhance the guest experience,” said Lisa Bauer, senior vice president, hotel operations, Royal Caribbean International. “This is just one of the many exciting ways that Royal Caribbean continues to provide our guests with the ultimate cruise experience.”
The vessel, which is due to come out of dry dock on 25 November, will sail a trans-Atlantic voyage from Lisbon to her seasonal home port of Sao Paulo, where she will be stationed for the winter.
