Athletes Kwan, Louganis Square Off in First Royal Deck-athlon

Posted July 30, 2012

World-class figure skating champion Michelle Kwan and world-champion diver Greg Louganis will go head-to-head in the first Royal Deck-athlon aboard Oasis of the Seas.

The skating and diving legends are facing off in two commercial spots that will air on NBC-owned stations throughout the country. Viewers will be directed to visit Royal Caribbean International's Facebook page to see Kwan and Louganis compete in a series of 10 events on board Oasis.

These include surfing the FlowRider, climbing the rock wall, skating in the ice rink, diving at the AquaTheatre, ziplining across the Boardwalk and table tennis, mini-golf and basketball in the Sports Zone. They also will play blackjack in Casino Royale and decorate cupcakes in the Cupcake Cupboard.

Consumers can get into the game by voting for their favorite competitor at facebook.com/royalcaribbean. Fans can vote once a day until Aug. 12 for the chance to win daily prizes as well as the grand prize, the opportunity to recreate their own Deck-athlon on a seven-night Caribbean cruise for two on Oasis of the Seas or Allure of the Seas.

The commercial spots featuring Kwan and Louganis will air on NBC-owned stations in Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, San Diego and San Francisco as well as select affiliates in Orlando, Tampa, Fort Myers, West Palm Beach and Atlanta this summer.
