As Singaporean Wong Sin Fatt (王信發), 52, boarded Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas he was welcomed and cheered by Royal Caribbean crew and staff in the millionth guest countdown at the ship’s gangway.
The celebration continued at the ship’s Viking Crown Lounge, where both Capt. Claus Andersen and Sean Treacy, managing director, Asia Pacific of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., presented Wong with a free cruise prize package worth over US$2,400.
‘This is my first time with Royal Caribbean, but never dreamt of winning something like this. My sister wanted a different holiday experience for the whole family, and I’m really excited about my prize that I’m sharing with my family with me here,’ said Wong, who is travelling with his family of eight.
Treacy said, ‘We have been looking forward to this day to welcome our millionth guest. Crossing this milestone in a span of 10 years here represents a true achievement for us, and this would not have been possible without the strong support of all our guests and key stakeholders including the Singapore Tourism Board and Changi Airport Group which partner us on fly-cruise marketing, as well as the two cruise terminals in Singapore.'
In the last decade Royal Caribbean’s deployment in South East Asia has grown from a 2,000-passenger ship to three ships double that size today, including Quantum-class ship Ovation of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas which will be back for more sailings later this year.
