“LIVE” from Oasis of the Seas - Oct. 3, 2021

[Radio]

Hello everyone, and good day. The Sea is Calling Welcome to “LIVE” from Oasis of the Seas

 

I will be heading north tomorrow to sail Oasis of the Seas from Cape Liberty.  This will be my first Cruise since Nov 2019 (Queen Mary 2, transatlantic) Wow, it has been almost 24 months since I was able to post “LIVE” My Covid Test today was =Negative=, so I am ready to sail.

 

There has been a lot of media attention about Oasis of the Seas, being the first Oasis Class ship sailing from the NY metro area. (Bayonne, NJ). This ship was supposed to sail last year (from Cape Liberty) and Royal Caribbean has been marketing this ship since November 2019 when she completed her $165 million amplification. (For her 10 year anniversary)

 

I will attempt to point out most, if not all of the new features, including:

 

·         Reimagined, Caribbean-inspired pool deck.

·         Splashaway Bay kids Aquapark.

·         The Lime & Coconut signature bar.

·         Perfect Storm trio of waterslides.

·         Ultimate Abyss – the tallest slide at sea.

·         Music Hall inspired by the Quantum Class Ships

·         Portside BBQ, the cruise line’s first barbecue concept.

·         Spotlight Karaoke, dedicated karaoke venue.

·         Mexican grab-and-go fare at El Loco Fresh

·         Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade

·         Bionic Bar, with the dynamic duo of robotic bartenders.

·         Royal Escape Room – Mission Control: Apollo 18.

 

 

I don’t think I named all of the new features, but I will attempt to point them out throughout the week. I also plan to show all of the new protocols that have been implemented on Oasis of the Seas.

 

I am hoping for good weather next week, and I am looking forward to entering the Passenger Terminal at Cape Liberty on October 3, 2021.

 

There will be much more coming in just a few days . . . Thanks for tuning in.

Will be sailing B2B starting 10/10. We have been on the Oasis twice out of Florida, so we were excited to have her in Bayonne this year, saves flying. Also have Oasis booked for September 2022 B2B.

Enjoy your cruise! On Oasis now heading north🥲Don’t forget the new outdoor area in the front of the Solarium. That gets my vote for best improvement. We’ve had spectacular weather! Hopefully you do too. They say we’ve got 2700ish passengers this week. It definitely doesn’t feel overcrowded but not empty either.

[DaniDanielle]

We saw dolphins while hanging out on the outdoor solarium area.  Such a great space

[Arzeena]

So glad to see a Radio report!

[KingdomCAPT]

Mark/"Radio",  great to see that you are once again "broadcasting".  Thanks for letting us tag along!
