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 !
