Wooo!!! I’m pumped for oasis of the seas to come to Bayonne.  Does anybody know if Oasis has water slides?

Maybe It Will Have Waterslides

So The Key has shown up for our 3-night to the Bahamas on Enchantment in March for 24.99 pp/per night or ~$150for my wife and I. I have Voom for 1 to share for $36 so is The Key worth the $114? Chops Lunch is currently $22 so another $44 from $114 is $70 net for both to have Voom (instead of sharing 1), priority boarding, seats for shows, debarkation breakfast, etc.  Might just be worth it....

Maybe It Is Worth The Money.

I thought they had laser tag on Mariner.  I've seen blogs of people mentioning it, and read it somewhere else.

They Do Have It. I Think He Said Laser Tag Should Be Added To The Key On Those Ships If The Key Goes To Those Ships.

In my opinion, the Voyager & Freedom class are the worst as they are partially obstructed due to the super structure of those classes of ships. 

Agree %100

Icon will require specialized LNG fueling systems that are somewhat controversial in Port Canaveral right now.  They are new and a ship can only be home ported and fueled if the itinerary is compatible with a full voyage fuel plan including reserves.  Carnival is also placing LNG ships in PC so with two lines operating LNG ships there is some economy of scale.  If Carnival indicates an LNG ship is heading to Galveston that makes it a lot easier for Royal to place one there and vice versa.  

I Heard Port Canaveral Will Get Icon Class Because I Read  From Somewhere That LNG Come From A Barge From Georgia. So Port Canaveral Or Miami Makes A Lot Of Since. If They Can Not Refuel In Any Of Those Port They Could Have The Barge At Perfect Day At Coco Cay. The LNG Will Probably Come From A Barge Because  Having It Being Trucked From Georgia Cost More And A Barge Can Hold More.

I doubt we get an Icon class instead of Quantum or Oasis but I guess ya never know 

 

Agree Icon Will Probably Go To Miami Or Port Canaveral.   

Just now, twangster said:

Perhaps, but I suspect they'll bring any new ship to Miami 1st.  An AMPED Oasis or Allure might make a good fit in Galveston.  

Speculation on my part. 

Probably Allure OTS

True, but Liberty has alternating Western routes every other week.  Oasis can pretty much assume those.

Plus, if they keep other ships in TX then those ships could potentially do some longer itineraries from time to time to mix things up.  

Maybe Oasis Five To Galveston In 2021. Makes Lot Of Sentence. Wonder If The New Terminal Will Be As Nice As The Terminal In Miami Fl,    

I Only See One Problem With Having A Oasis Class Ship There. It Can Only Offer Western Caribbean Voyages. Unless They Have And Oasis Class Ship Do Nine Night Western/Eastern Caribbean Voyages

So my question is, from experience, do you know if the cruise keep spots to be booked on-board?
Activities like Flow rider, Ripcord, North Star and climbing wall clearly are super popular and I just can't imagine be on this wonderful ship and be unable to do the activities.

 

 

Flowrider Can Not Be Reserved 

@Bobbieajd Can You Take Some Photos Of The Flowrider

@Digmenow You Can Arrive At The Port At Any Time. When There Is No Coast Guard Inspection They Let You Board The Ship Around 10:45 Am.  

@FlowBro Ty Thanks For The Great Recap Blog 

Thanks For The Blog.

Old news. I booked this when it was first announced months ago. 

Sorry For The "Old" New 

It looks Like The Vision Of The Seas Will Be Stopping In Punta Cana Next Year. Royal Caribbean Will Stop There Next Year. If I Am Right This Is The First Time Royal Caribbean Will Stop In Punta Cana. As Right Now It Looks Likely Vision Will Be The Only Ship From RCI There. And Vision Will Replace Jewel Of Sailing Out Of San Juan.

Sorry For The Bad Photo But This Is Taken On My $25 Dollar Tablet.

Hey just saw this. We were on the same cruise. Our dining room tables were even close to each other (I think, assuming 687 is close and we were in the same time). 

The channel you mentioned in Haiti was really beautiful. We were up on the deck over the bridge. The island is the famous pirate hideout of Tortuga. 

All in all it was a great trip. Beautiful weather every day. 

I Was Also Aboard On The Same Voyage.  The Seas Were Probably The Most Calm I Have Ever Seen. And The Sail Away From Haiti Was So Pretty And To See All The Boats Were So Cool And I Was On The  Deck Above The At The Same Time With @FlowBro Ty.  @OrlandoC What Table Were You
