With 16 decks capable of carrying 5,400 guests, a landscaped park, boardwalk and countless onboard entertainment options, the Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas is making waves as the world’s largest cruise ship.

Social media savvy could score you a night at the Tradewinds Sandpiper Hotel and Suites for a mere $25 on Black Friday, Nov. 27. On the biggest shopping day of the year, the moderately-priced beachfront St. Pete resort is hoping you'll get up early and head to the computer instead of the mall. Starting at 6 a.m. EST (sorry West Coast-ers), the hotel will begin announcing $25 rooms on specific January 2010 dates via its Facebook page and on Twitter.

A new look has checked-in at The Hotel at Times Square, an independent Apple Core Hotel property that also seems to be attempting to combat the pitfalls of its generic-sounding name by increasingly using the email-influenced acronym TH@TS instead of its full title. Kinda cute, no? But we digress…

Horizon Air has taken one of its planes in a greener direction - both literally and figuratively speaking. Joining the Seattle-based airline's fleet this week is the Comfortably Greener Q400, a 76-seat aircraft made to use up to 40 percent less fuel and produce between 30 and 40 percent less carbon emissions than jets of comparable size. Also designed to be quieter than other jets (hence the "Q" in its name), the plane is part of the airline's efforts to convert to a single-type fleet of Q400s by 2013. A second green plane will begin circulation through Horizon's routes in December.
