Barbie hits the high seas

by CNNGo staff

Royal Caribbean International is about to get a whole lot cooler with the under-10 female travel set. 

The mega cruise line has teamed up with toy maker Mattel to offer travelers the "Barbie Premium Experience" aboard its entire global fleet of 22 ships. 

What this means is pink staterooms, pink fashion shows and pink tea parties. At least 50 shades of pink, to be sure. 

Well done, Royal Caribbean. The parents look just as plastic as Barbie herself. "Girls can enjoy staterooms decorated in the iconic doll?s signature style as well as exclusive, themed activities throughout the duration of their cruise ?- from an invitation-only tea party and mermaid dance class to a fashion design workshop and Barbie Girls fashion show," says Royal Caribbean. 

No word on whether boy Barbie fans can participate, or simply sit back and watch because that's where all the cute girls on the ship are hanging out.
