terrierjohn Posted June 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) What do UK cruisers think about the possibility of an Oasis class ship doing a summer schedule from the UK? Edited June 21, 2022 by terrierjohn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saab4444 Posted June 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 21, 2022 To which ports should it go? No for Norway and most of Baltic ports. Even in the Med they can only do the same 7 day cruises over and over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted June 21, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I think you need a Radiance class or a Voyager class ship to be able to go to may of the UK ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyCruiserUK Posted June 21, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Not enough ports to take that size of ship. We loved when indy was from southampton down to carnaries and back. Anthem not so much modern ship but no soul or fun tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of our best cruises and our new favourite ship 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Baltic Posted June 21, 2022 #7 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) The weather doesn’t support an Oasis class ship. The boardwalk and Central Park areas would be out of action a lot of the time. Also, there are too many seas days needed to get to the good stuff.

I went on it for the first time in August around Britain. First week took a bit to find my way about. Second week was much better. At least you will get some sun and the Canaries are good ports 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisingJoe09 Posted June 21, 2022 #13 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Since the pandemic, I'm less fussed about flying abroad so I'd definitely be up for it but I think they would be limited on ports. More important to me than having an Oasis Class though is having something other than Anthem in Southampton (whether as a replacement or a 2nd ship).

Rare little britain Posted June 21, 2022 #14 Share Posted June 21, 2022 The plants in CP would never survive! Oasis class is useless in wet weather… cannot even get to the restaurants in BW without getting soaked. We need a Radiance class for the colder months imho. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kernow Posted June 22, 2022 #19 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I know I'm in a minority but much prefer any other class over Oasis so quite pleased it's unlikely. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwich Cruiser Posted June 22, 2022 #20 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Anthem of the Seas is a great ship we’ve been lucky enough to have two fantastic cruises on her. Likewise Independence of the Seas. With regards to an “ o “ class cruising from Southampton I’d love the idea but as others have said I’m not convinced she’d get into many ports. But one can hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roybthered Posted June 22, 2022 #21 Share Posted June 22, 2022 We went on Anthem twice last year and loved her! A great ship to travel on and enjoy. You will love her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrierjohn Posted June 23, 2022 Author #22 Share Posted June 23, 2022 P&O will have Iona and Arvia which are not much smaller than an Oasis class sailing out of Sourhampton to a wide range of Fjords and Med ports by next summer. So I think any doubts that an Oasis ship could easily do the the same are easily dispelled. It just needs RCI to decide it would make economic sense.

Never understood it myself. Me neither. But apparently my fellow Brits are creatures of habit which explains why so many go back to the same hotel in the same resort every year. There’s a big world out there - go explore it! As for Royal, I wish they’d send Southampton a different ship each year - even if it’s another Quantum class. Anthem’s getting boring.

Rare crewsweeper Posted June 23, 2022 #25 Share Posted June 23, 2022 While we love O class ships, and DW has been on the Indy, I'm trying to convince her that any size ship doing an around British Isles cruise is just fine as there's so many ports that the ship is basically your overnight train and sleeper car.😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
