Countdown To Launch!

[Cruiserccl]

I thought i should start a thread where we can share the little bit of information/updates that we receive via Twitter and other sources that isn't big enough to start its own thread with. Because really theres never enough Oasis info! ;) :D

 

So Here We Go Countdown To Launch!

 

Mon. Shiptoid: Tech-savvy cruisers rejoice! Oasis will offer bow to stern wireless, and in-room internet access shipwide

[berbet]

Will it be free or will there be a charge for it?

[CaptData]

There will be a charge for it as on all their other ships. You just don't have to leave your room to go on iternet if you bring your lap top with you.

A # of Earth Day-approved features on Oasis will combine to decrease the ship's carbon footprint by 15-25% compared to other RC ships

Dear Niki Burgos,

I reviewed an email sent by you to Mr. Adam Goldstein. In your email you discuss some of the musical elements you have cruised with onboard Royal Caribbean ships.

As I have responsibility for the latin groups who you mention, I am giving you a response directly.

Of particular interest was your comments regarding latin trio SOL Y ARENA, who are one of RCI's longest running latin groups. By popular demand we are actually having them start up the Oasis of the Seas, but with comments like you made we are giving this band extra attention and are requesting the leader Raul to increase it from a trio to a six piece ensemble, including a female lead singer and a horn player (either saxophone or trumpet). A latin sextet should be even more exciting and musically strong for this new ship of unprecedented size and unique features.

Thanks also for your insights on the 3 other latin groups who you liked a lot - Salsa Magic, Mambo Caliente and Mambo Ye. We are continuing to regularly book these groups going forward to keep our guest's enjoyment at as high a level as possible in the Boleros Lounge.

Do have many more great vacation experiences on Royal Caribbean, and smooth sailing to you and yours!

Best regards,

Rob Waterfield
