Independence of the Seas or Independence of the Sea

January 14, 2009 ·

Just found a great blog post on whether it is Independence of the Seas or Independence of the Sea on the unofficial Royal Caribbean Cruise website.

For search engine optimization purposes, that s makes a lot of difference. As they say, it is officially Independence of the Seas.

Royal Caribbean Develop Falmouth

September 20, 2008 ·

Royal Caribbean is working alongside the Jamaican Port Authority in a bid to develop the Falmouth cruise port in Jamaica so that Oasis of the Seas can visit the port when she starts her Western Caribbean cruises in May 2010.

This is not the first time that Royal Caribbean have worked with a port authority, they did so with Southampton where they spent £10m to upgrade their terminal to accommodate Independence of the Seas.

Oasis of the Seas on Sale

September 15, 2008 ·

The worldwide sale of Oasis of the Seas took place during the week with thousands of people the world over ready to pounce on the phones to book one of the 5,400 spaces on her first cruise out of Fort Lauderdale in 2009.

Oasis of the Seas will be the largest cruise ship in the world when she joins the Royal Caribbean fleet in 2009.

Royal Caribbean Cruise Up For Sale

June 4, 2008 ·

I was wandering how much value there is in the websites I own? The unwritten premise in that statement is how do I value them and which is worth the most? I assume the one that would give me the greatest return would be if I put the Royal Caribbean Cruise up for sale, which is probably the valuable, so how much would I get for it?

With more than 4,000 visitors a month at 25p a click (using PPC as a way of determining a value) would value the site at £1000 per month (the amount a company would need to spend to get the same number of hits). In business often 1.5 times income is a good place to start, so this would mean that the Royal Caribbean site could be worth £18,000. The real cost per click is about 40p (using AdWords) so perhaps it is worth more?

This post will be added to in the morning but a passing note, if I was offered £10,000 would I sell? I will let you know tomorrow.

Drabdesign Buy Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas

June 1, 2008 ·

As part of the Cruises network, Drabdesign has purchased two new domain names, Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas, the names given to the two new Royal Caribbean cruise ships due in service in 2009 and 2010 respectively.

These domains are currently parked with the cheap hosting company Hostasitehere, where they were purchased at a cost of £3.54, which is pretty good value for dot Com’s. They will be updated soon when more details are available about the Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas.

Royal Caribbean Website Updated

May 29, 2008 ·

I have just finishing updating my Royal Caribbean Cruise website adding a couple of cruise search boxes for the Cheap Cruises website CruiseVIP. I am quite please with the new design and hope it will attract people to buy some cruises as that is the only way I will get paid on the project.

This is all part of the Cruise project mentioned in a previous post re Drabdesign Moves Cruise Section and the cruise search box is shown below. Before you ask, yes it does work…I hope!

We now work with Cruise Deals specialists Planet Cruise.
