Liberty and Freedom of the Seas to get ‘Oasis Attractions’

Royal Caribbean have decided to take some of the best features of Oasis of the Seas and to add them to their Freedom Class ships, starting with Liberty and Freedom in 2011. These ships already have flo-riders, water parks, ice rinks with excellent shows, casinos, spas, miniature golf, inline skating and more but will be enhanced by the following.


In terms of entertainment large 18.5-foot outdoor video screens for movies under the skies will overlook the main family pool area.

To tempt your palate they will feature the popular Cupcake Cupboard, which has proved a real hit on Oasis and the wine bar ‘Vintages.’ The wine bar allows you to taste rare vintages by allowing you to purchase wine by the millilitre, you get to taste several wines without breaking the bank (always a bonus on a cruise ship)

The ships will also have the Digital Wayfinder video screen – like your own personal sat nav, it outlines your route on board and gives step by step instructions on how to reach your destination. It also holds info on the ships entertainments, restaurants and daily menu’s.

And finally they are extending their babysitting service to include the ‘Royal Babies and Tots Nursery’ offering care for children six to 36 months. This special program was created in cooperation with the Fisher-Price and Crayola companies.

The 2 ships will go into dry dock at the start of 2011, so if you’re looking to sail next summer, you’ll get to experience them all

Help..get me out of here

One of my customers had a shock when he came back to his cabin on Oasis of the Seas. A man was stuck in his toilet. Thanks for sending this is in Jhetin

Oasis of the Seas - are the extras too much?

Initial reports from Oasis of the Seas say that the Cupcake Cupboard is exquisite but at $2.50/ cupcake is this too much?
Dinner with the captain is $75. Speciality restaurants vary from $4.95 for lunch at Jonny Rockets to $35pp for 150 Central Park. However there are plenty of free places to dine and most of the activities which I thought I would charge for are free. Read on for a full list.
