How Do You Plant a Garden on a Cruise Ship?
That may sound like a silly question, but for Royal Caribbean International, that was just one of the final preparation processes that had to be solved while the Allure of the Seas is in its homeport of Port Everglades. The answer of course, is by crane.
Creating Central Park
Pictured here is the Oasis of the Seas finished version of Central Park. The Allure will once again benefit from the experience of its sister ship as Central Park is recreated one more time onboard a cruise ship.
Just like one would plan their own garden in the back yard, Royal Caribbean's designers drew up plans for the finished garden, ordered the various trees, flowers, and shrubs, and waited for the assembly day to arrive. On the assembly day, the plants and trees were organized and "airlifted" by crane from the pier to the ship. Crews quickly unloaded the crates and the planting began. It didn't take long before Central Park took shape.
In this video, you'll see first-hand hour Central Park was assembled by a talented team of gardeners.
