The Rising Tide Onboard Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas
The Rising Tide is a bar on the Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas. It has been dubbed The world’s most expensive elevator. It’s a real bar that cycles back and forth between the Royal Promenade on deck 5, and Central Park on deck 8; it has a maximum capacity of 35 guests and takes 8 minutes to complete it’s leisurely ride between decks.
The top clip shows The Rising Tide on it’s downward trip; the bottom movie shows it returning back up. Both clips were taken with the iMotion app from an iPhone 5s.
During it’s cycles, if it is past a certain height, an exciting water-fountain show, complete with colored laser lights, can be seen from it’s base footprint.
