I was on the Jewel OTS June '08 and the Capt was doing his talk. He
said he thought that the Oasis would have the same impact on cruising as
the 747 did on flying. It would require a major rethinking of the entire
industry from ports (or airports) to both ends of the boarding, to
safety issues, to (in the case of the cruise industry) such things as
finding enough things for people to do at the ports.
I did not think at the time (nor do I now) that this was just Corp.
hyperbole.

It seems to be a Show that has MUCHO Aerial Acts. Costuming looks
marvelous for all the shows
I bet that song will be in it though!

HEY George,
I go on a few days after you do... Then on to the Viking Cruise the
next weekend for the VIking Group Cruise, So need the 5 days to have
some down time after the 2 night Oasis. She will be something and will
change the Cruising World, But will it be for the better? or water it
down more? I do feel though how everyone was downing NCL for their PAY
venues that with this ship it is gonna not only cost you bigger bucks
to get on the ship but once on its going to be a cash Cow... I do not
think this class of ship will be for everyone as its size is emense I
hope I can walk the whole ship! But its a novelty a incredible marvel
and lots to do.... YEs things that are FREE but if you bring a kid its
gonna be like going to the Shore in Wildwood. Bring your Bank
account!

I would love that! I will still have that one darling and super-
responsible kid at home, though...if I succumb to the temptation to
ditch him for a week, no telling what temptation he might succumb to,
LOL. Maybe I'll just ditch him and the old man. ;)
