kasualkathy Posted February 8, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Planning on a cruise March 2011. Mind set on Oasis. What is the difference between the two - other an Allure will be a new ship vs Oasis being over a year old when we set sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystalkrt Posted February 8, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 8, 2010 We also have the same dilemma. Both ships will be the same and since the Allure is still under construction, noone can really tell if one will be better than the other right at this time. However, since the Oasis will be 1 year 'older', we are hoping the only difference we find is a price drop on the Oasis. Perhpas the demand for the Allure will be a little higher since it's newer. Same itinerary, same ship class, same price for now. We have our eyes open for a May itinerary (same on both ships) right at this moment is $1500 each... so, we are waiting for whoever has the first price drop.

GXmanDC Posted February 8, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 8, 2010 From past experience the ships within a class are almost identical, especially those built so close together. The artwork will be unique to each ship. You might find that some venues will have a different name or a bar that allowed smoking on one ship does not allow it on the other. Most differences won't be visible to the passengers. There was a discussion on the Oasis sub forum about anticipated differences between the sister ships.

CAT GIRL Posted February 8, 2010 #5 Share Posted February 8, 2010 On the weeks that I've been checking the prices have been identical. If I'm not mistaken, one goes from Sat to Sat and the other Sunday to Sunday. So that could factor into your desicion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
