Beano favourite stars in unique, one-off adventure for Royal Caribbean
7th November 2019, London UK – Beano icon Dennis and his family enjoy the VIP treatment in a brand-new, one-of-a-kind adventure for Royal Caribbean International.
The unique Beano strip has been commissioned to celebrate the $165m makeover of Allure of the Seas and sees the notorious mischief-maker joined by side-kick Gnasher and family Minnie, toddler Bea and Mum and Dad to become the very first guests onboard the new-look Royal Caribbean ship.
The comic opens with the family arriving at a campsite in Barcelona.
But before long they are asked to leave by snooty owner Basil Shifty who’s concerned about the chaos the family could cause.
Crestfallen, the family head to the port of Barcelona where Allure of the Seas is docked.
There they are greeted by Royal Caribbean Managing Director Ben Bouldin, who doesn’t share Mr Shifty’s concerns and invites them on board via the ‘V VIP FAST TRACK’.
The Menaces then have free rein to try out all the epic features onboard the biggest and most innovative ship sailing Europe in 2020, including:
- Glow-in-the-dark laser tag – The Menaces gear up for a total intergalactic adventure, where Dennis zaps Minnie in a clash for the Crystal City!
- Spotlight Karaoke – Dad rocks out on stage at the ship’s dedicated karaoke bar, whilst Gnasher watches on in awe
- Splashaway Bay – A kids’ favourite, Minnie checks out the splash pools, water cannons, fountains and drench buckets, before soaking an unassuming Dad!
- The Perfect Storm – Dennis and Minnie spot Dad get stuck in one of the trio of adrenaline-inducing ‘Perfect Storm’ waterslides
- Ultimate Abyss – Dennis and Minnie plummet 10 storeys down the tallest slide at sea
Whilst Dennis and the gang get stuck into the ‘thrill’, Mum’s ecstatic that someone will even look after the kids at the award-winning kids’ club, before going on a hunt to find the spa and chill.
Ben Bouldin, Associate Vice President and Managing Director, UK & Ireland, Royal Caribbean, said: “We wanted Britain’s most iconic family to test out everything Allure of the Seas has to offer, to prove that even the Menaces can enjoy spending quality family time together – and apart – on a Royal Caribbean holiday. We’re all about creating awesome, unforgettable experiences for families and we hope the comic strip captures the imagination of the nation”.
From May 2020, Allure of the Seas will be sailing 7-night Western Mediterranean itineraries that depart from Barcelona. Book your holiday on Allure of the Seas by visiting: https://www.royalcaribbean.co.uk/our-ships/allure-of-the-seas/
