Cruising becoming shop till you drop?

When she debuts this December, Oasis of the Seas will offer 13 stores in open-air shopping with a "one-of-a-kind experience," promises the cruise line.
 

"Guests of all ages and styles will find their retail therapy of choice in outlets that range from children and teen-favored shops to jewelry and duty-free stores for adults," says the cruise line.
Coach, a luxury leather goods provider, is unveiling its first dedicated store at sea.
 

Oasis of the Seas also will carry a number of brands never before seen in the Royal Caribbean fleet, including elegant jewelry from Roberto Coin, Charriol and Yvel, as well as long-time favorites such as cosmetics by Chanel and Christian Dior, among many others, says Royal Caribbean.
 

"We are consistently pushing the envelope with the retail selection offered on our cruise ships, and with Oasis of the Seas we sought out to fully transform the shopping experience at sea by introducing new brands and new concepts," said Lisa Bauer, senior vice president, Hotel Operations, Royal Caribbean International.
