Inqanawa enkulu yasesikolweni iRoyal Caribbean International entsha ye-Oasis yeLwandle yenze uhambo lwayo lokuqala ngohambo olukhethekileyo oluya eHaiti kule veki ngaphambi kokuqala ishedyuli yesiqhelo ngomhla we-12 kuDisemba.
IGrand Cayman, nangona kunjalo, ayizukubakho kwishedyuli yenqanawa nangona izokuma kwizibuko laseNtshona Caribbean eJamaica naseMexico.
Inqanawa entsha enkulu inomthamo wabantu abangama-5,400 kwaye inkulu kakhulu ukuba inganikezelwa ngempumelelo eCayman, engenazibonelelo zeeberthing.
U-MLA Cline Glidden Jr. uthe ukumiliselwa kwe-megaship entsha kunika iI Islands ithuba lokuphuhlisa iziseko zoncedo.
"IRoyal Caribbean ikucacisile ukuba le nqanawa iza kuthatha indawo yeenqanawa zazo ezinkulu kwiCaribbean," utshilo. "Isiphumo siya kubaluleka kwaye into esiyibonayo kukuba esi sisigqibo somgaqo-nkqubo wexesha elide kwisicwangciso esenziwe ngabo."
I-Enchantment of the Seas, undwendwe oluqhelekileyo eGrand Cayman, yenze uhambo lwayo lokugqibela apha nge-16 kaNovemba. Inqanawa iphinde yathunyelwa kwizibuko lasekhaya eBaltimore, eMaryland, apho iza kubonelela ngeenqanawa zaseNew England.
IRoyal Caribbean ikwalindele ukuhanjiswa kwenqanawa yoodade i-Oasis, Allure Of The Seas, ngo-2010. Lo mbhemu uza kuthwala abantu abangama-5,600. Ikwayakwenza umnxeba kumazibuko aseJamaica naseMexico, kodwa hayi eCayman.
Umnumzana Glidden uthe iRoyal Caribbean International lelona qabane lesibini ngobukhulu lokuhamba ngenqanawa eCayman kwaye xa iAllure nayo iziswa kwi-Intanethi, ifuthe kwiCaribbean linokubaluleka.
"Kwiminyaka emibini sinokubona ukwehliswa kweenqanawa ezine ezingama-3,200 ezivela eCaribbean kwaye ingakumbi eCayman," utshilo.
“Ke urhulumente uthathe isigqibo sokuba kufuneka sibe nendawo zoncedo kwaye siyazidinga ngokukhawuleza. Sizibophelele kwiRoyal Caribbean International ukuba basazinikele kwiiCayman Islands ukuba nje sifumana iziseko zophuhliso [ezichanekileyo]. ”
Umnumzana Glidden uvumile ukuba ngexeshana elifutshane, uCayman uza kubona ukwehla kwabahambi ngeenqanawa abavela eRoyal Caribbean, kuba ayinakukwazi ukwamkela iinqanawa ezinezixhobo ze-berthing. Kodwa uthi inyani yokuba iRoyal Caribbean yakha iOasis yeLwandle kwaye iyakha iAllure yeXesha iyangqina ukuba izinikele kwingingqi yeCaribbean.
"Kumaxesha la okuba iinkampani zichithe imali ephakathi kwe- $ 1.2 yezigidigidi kunye ne- $ 1.5 yezigidigidi kwinqanawa kuthetha ukuba ngokucacileyo bazakuba kuyo okwethutyana," utshilo. "Oku kuveza amathuba amahle kwiiCayman Islands ngoko ke kufuneka siqinisekise ukuba siyawasebenzisa la mathuba, athi njengorhulumente sizimisele ukuwenza."
Umnumzana Glidden wachaza ukuba nangona iinqanawa ezintsha ziluphawu lweshishini lokuhamba ngenqanawa, iOasis ngumbono omtsha kraca kuhambo ngesikhephe olunokutsala abathengi abachitha imali ephezulu.
“Kubalulekile ukuba uqaphele ukuba kuyo yonke imimandla enokwenzeka, iRoyal Caribbean yenze utyalomali kwinqanawa emiselwe iCaribbean, ke ngoko kuyacaca ukuba bakubona njengenxalenye ebalulekileyo yeshishini ukuba babe yinxalenye yesikhephe hambo, kwaye kubalulekile kuthi ukuba sizibeke kwindawo yethu ukuze sisebenzise eli thuba. ”
Ngokobuchwephesha kunokwenzeka ukusebenzela kunye nokuthambisa umthamo we-5,400, inqanawa yomgangatho we-16 eCayman, kodwa kuya kufuneka ukuba ibe yiyo kuphela inqanawa kwizibuko kwaye kusenokwenzeka ukuba ukuhamba kwabahambi kunye nenqanawa kungatya ixesha.
I-Oasis yeLwandle yakhiwa eFinland kwaye inobunzima beetoni ezingama-225,282. Ukuphuma kwayo kuLwandle lweBaltic kuhambo lwayo oluya kwiCaribbean, yasusa ibhulorho enkulu ye-Great Belt Fixed Link eDenmark engaphantsi kweenyawo ezimbini. Zisixhenxe iindawo ezinomxholo wenqanawa kubandakanya iCentral Park, eyiBoulevard ebonisa iivenkile, iivenkile zokutyela kunye nemivalo kunye ne-12,000 yezityalo eziphilayo kunye nemithi engama-56.
Kukwakho namachibi aselunxwemeni, ii-simulators ze-surf, ii-spas, amaziko empilo, iilebhu zesayensi kunye namaziko okuzonwabisa.
UJoseph Woods, umphathi wenqanawa kunye nokhuselo kwiPort Authority, uthe iminxeba yaseRoyal Caribbean eCayman yehlile kutshanje.
Ngo-2006 iRoyal Caribbean yayineminxeba engama-262 apha izisa abakhweli abangama-765,000. Ngo-2007 loo nto yayiye kwiifowuni ezingama-210 kunye nabagibeli abangama-617,454.

I-Rhapsody yeLwandle kunye nokuKhanya kweeLwandle yayiziinqanawa ezimbini ezazidla ngokubiza rhoqo eGrand Cayman, kodwa akusekho njalo. I-Rhapsody ngoku inezibuko lasekhaya eSydney, e-Australia. Imitha ngoku ibiza ikakhulu kwizibuko laseMexico.
Akukho mathandabuzo ukuba iindawo zokuthenga ngenqanawa zenza kube lula kubakhweli, utshilo. "… Inyaniso yokuba iRoyal Caribbean iphinde yasasaza iinqanawa ikuxelela into."
