Royal Caribbean Places Order for Interactive Television With Allin
Corporation

ITV Solution to be Implemented on Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the
Seas

PITTSBURGH, March 14
Allin Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: ALLN) announced that Royal
Caribbean Cruise Lines, Ltd. has placed an order with Allin
Corporation covering the implementation of an interactive television
solution on Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas. Upon its entry into
service, the Freedom of the Seas will be the world's largest cruise
ship. The vessel is scheduled to sail in April of 2006. With this
order, Royal Caribbean, along with its sister company Celebrity
Cruises, will have nineteen vessels in operation with Allin's industry
leading interactive television solutions onboard. Across all cruise
lines, Allin has a total of thirty four shipboard interactive
television systems in operation or under contract. This order was
previously disclosed in the Company's year end earnings release.

"We are very pleased that Royal Caribbean has chosen Allin to deliver
the interactive television solution for what will be the largest
cruise ship in the world," commented Rich Talarico, Allin's CEO.
"Every new Royal Caribbean or Celebrity vessel sailing since 1997 has
an Allin interactive television solution onboard. We work on an
ongoing basis with Royal Caribbean to ensure that each implementation
utilizes the most technically advanced and economically viable
solution. Our systems deliver industry leading reliability and a solid
return on investment. Allin's experience in the industry and
commitment to service allow us to remain the industry leader in
interactive television solutions for the cruise industry."

"Allin Corporation continues to deliver interactive television
reliably and efficiently while remaining on the leading edge of
technology," commented Richard Coombs, project manager for Royal
Caribbean. "Because of its size, the Freedom of the Seas presents a
number of logistical issues that the interactive television technology
helps solve. We have enjoyed a long relationship with Allin
Corporation and are pleased that relationship will continue with the
Freedom of the Seas."

The interactive television solution will use the latest in Web
technology to provide Royal Caribbean's guests the convenience of
using their in- stateroom TV sets to access a variety of electronic
commerce services such as previewing and reserving shore excursions,
watching on-demand movies and informational videos, ordering room
service, enjoying games of chance and reviewing their folio accounts
and shipboard activities. The Allin solution will interface with the
vessel's hotel management system to allow direct billing to guest
accounts for E-commerce transactions processed through the interactive
television system.
