tigergal31 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 I am trying to rebook our cancelled cruise from March. As of now, looking to go Thanksgiving week 2020. Haven't cruised on Royal in over 10 years.....I'm stuck between Oasis of the Seas or Allure.....There will be 6 of us in 3 ocean view rooms. 3 young adults in early 20's, my husband and myself, as well as my mother in law. Can you tell me your choice between these two and WHY it's your choice...Oasis is Western Caribbean ( Cozumel, Honduras, Costa Maya and Coco Cay). Allure is Eastern ( Nassau, St Thomas, San Juan and Labadee)....I'd like opinions/experiences.... Thanks in advance!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mworkman Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Oasis has just went through the Amped process, which means she’s been upgraded with the latest toys to play on, down side is she still has Cats for the Broadway production. Allure has Momma Mia for the broadway production and she hasn’t been Amped yet, but still a great ship. I prefer Oasis as she has a better itinerary for that run.

Andrew72681 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 I’d go with Oasis as no one knows when Allure will be amplified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Regardless of itinerary, I would go with Oasis as it's been AMPed. There's nothing wrong with Allure but without the AMP she just doesn't seem as refreshed. I actually went on Oasis last Thanksgiving. I also tend to prefer the Western Caribbean itinerary over Eastern Caribbean and you get to visit CocoCay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pooch Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Yup, here I am. Played McCavity the Mystery Cat in my younger days! And Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber verses 80’s crap ABBA?!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyC Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 I say Oasis over Allure. We sailed on the AMPD Oasis last December and it is amazing. The 20s will love Playmakers & Music Hall, Aqua 80 is the best show out there right now. Plus, Perfect Day CocoCay. As for the other ports, we have our favorites which may not be yours, of course. We happen to love Cozumel, which is another check mark in the Oasis box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWDW1204 Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Oasis because it's amped, and itinerary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK6404 Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 I'd pick Oasis over Allure too. We sailed Allure last year in May and absolutely loved it, but I'd go with an Amped Oasis! Snotarni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dejavu21 Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 We went on Allure May 2019. It is an amazing ship. As for ships, you can't go wrong with either as they are both Oasis class. Therefore I would pick based on itinerary. The Eastern ( Nassau, St Thomas, San Juan and Labadee) is by far a better itinerary. I've been to all and Nassau, St. Thomas, and San Juan beat out Cozumel Costa Maya by a long shot. IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK6404 Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 OK, not completely related (at least the same 2 ships)! I stumbled across this cool pic and wanted to share without creating a whole new thread for a pic (click on it for full screen)... Allure and Oasis under construction at the same time back in OCT 2009 at the STX shipyard in Turku, Finland. What a sight that must have been! I'll bet you'll never see two simultaneous major builds for the same cruise line at the same shipyard again! FoxboroCruiser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
