For those who love cruising… (not just Disney)

[Carolc]

For anyone that has been yearning to go on the Oasis of the Seas (currently the largest ship afloat, but will soon be joined by her ‘sister’ the Allure of the Seas), it is on sale through the 7th. Oasis is the one that has a zip line across one of their open air areas. There are two rock walls, 2 Flow Riders, a boardwalk-type area with a carousel, a ‘central park’ type area… these are in addition to the promenade seen on other Royal Caribbean ships (all have shops and eateries). DH and I had the opportunity to go on the Oasis for a night. Our balcony cabin was really nice, we just didn’t get to spend much time in there as we were running around the ship. We still didn’t get to see everything. The interactive displays around the ship were really helpful (and fun to play with – I’m guessing that the Disney Dream will have some of these). I’d love to go on it for a longer trip, but the prices have been very high since its inauguration last November. So these prices during this sale are really good for this ship.

These prices are per person based on double occupancy (not including tax or insurance)

Oct 30 (7 night Western Caribbean out of Fort Lauderdale): Inside from $849, oceanview from $899, balcony from $999; 3rd and 4th passengers are $549

Nov 16 (7 night Eastern Caribbean out of Fort Lauderdale): Oceanview from $949, balcony from $1049; 3rd and 4th passengers are $499.


Royal Caribbean has special pricing on a number of other cruises during this Labor Day Sales Event. The best cruise experience for the dollar (i.e. value), in my opinion, are these two on Liberty of the Seas (the model prior to Oasis – still huge, has a rock wall, Flow Rider, skating rink)

Oct 3 (7 night Eastern Caribbean out of Miami): Inside $499, Deluxe (suite) $999; 3rd/4th passengers are $299

Nov 7 (7 night Western Caribbean out of Miami): Inside $499, Deluxe (suite) $1249; 3rd/4th passengers are $299
