Though its old news that Oasis of the Seas will soon sail out of Port Canaveral … Rates are climbing, are you booked ?

It’s basically been 3 months now, since Royal Caribbean announced that one of the largest ships afloat will soon we sailing out of Port Canaveral.  Cruisers have been asking for this for a while, and now it will come true, beginning November 5, 2016.

Though that might seem a long time away for many, the ship is filling up and rates continue to climb, as I am writing this !  So those waiting, could miss the boat on the sail date they want  … Or pay higher than they were expecting, with waiting !

If you have yet to sail such a ship, you’ll discover, she has “neighborhoods” onboard:  Central Park, The Pool and Sports Zone, Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center, Boardwalk, Royal Promenade, Youth Zone, and Entertainment Place.

Lots of free activities onboard:  Flowrider surf simulator, "Hairspray" Broadway show, AquaTheater, Zipline across Central Park, Ice skating, 3D Movie Theater, and the Gym.

Her first cruise, November 5, 2016, will be an 8 night, Western Caribbean.  December 18, will offer a 5 night to the Bahamas.  December 31, a New Year’s cruise, will be 8 nights to the Southern Caribbean.  February 19, 2017, there’s a 7 night to the Eastern Caribbean to include Labadee.  The sailings in between, up till April 20, 2017, is sailing to the Western Caribbean to include Labadee or to the Eastern Caribbean including the Bahamas.

Personally I prefer sailing, for a minimum of 7 nights.  I enjoy Labadee over Bahamas.  For the rest, doesn’t matter to me if it is Eastern or Western !

Which one appeals to you more ?

If you drive to port instead of fly, and if the Oasis is on your bucket list … This is a reminder, even if not sailing till the first quarter of 2017 … Take a look at what’s available and the pricing NOW … And get YOURSELF confirmed too !
