Royal Caribbean brings aboard ‘Mamma Mia!’

By Tom Stieghorst
Royal Caribbean International has licensed the Broadway show “Mamma Mia!” for the main stage show on Quantum of the Seas.

The show is built around the music of Swedish ’70s pop group Abba.

It is the fourth licensed Broadway production in Royal Caribbean’s Broadway at Sea lineup, which also includes “Chicago,” “Hairspray” and “Saturday Night Fever.”

Royal Caribbean said the news it had licensed the show was first released to viewers of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, in which it had entered a Quantum float.

The TV broadcast of the parade featured Quantum godmother Kristin Chenoweth aboard the float, lip synching a version of Frank Sinatra’s anthem “New York, New York.”

Keel-laying of Anthem of the Seas

Papenburg, 20November 2013 – The official keel-laying of the new cruise ship Anthem of the Seas was celebrated at MEYER WERFT in Papenburg by putting a block in place in the yard’s covered building dock. Jarmo Laakso, Associate Vice President Quantum Class from Royal Caribbean International, put down the lucky penny in the dock before the block of the new ship was lowered by the 800-ts crane.

The first of a total of 74 blocks of the new cruise liner weighs 620 tons. This keel-laying marks the official start of construction of the Anthem of the Seas. For the time being the 167,800-gt Anthem of the Seas is one of the biggest ships the shipyard has built so far.

Delivery of the Anthem of the Seas is scheduled for spring 2015. The sistership of Quantum is under construction in the Building Dock and is scheduled as early as in the autumn of 2014.

Both new ships for Royal Caribbean International will set standards due to their design, a parachuting simulator, bumper cars, virtual balconies and many more innovations.

Each ship can accommodate 4,180 guests at double occupancy and feature 2,090 staterooms
