Royal Caribbean is using Google Maps Business View (the commercial version of Google’s Street View) to advertise the Allure of the Seas. 

The Telegraph newspaper writes that "visitors to the website select from a series of options to enable them to ‘tour’ the ship’s restaurants, cabins and pools as well as the ship’s ‘unique activities,’ which include a surfing machine, rock-climbing wall and zip wire."

Take a tour here. It’s pretty cool.
