Floating Wonders of the World

While often we focus on the amazing ports and the Wonders of the Ancient or Modern Worlds we find there, a big reason most people become repeat cruisers after one cruise is life onboard.

Each cruise line has its own approach, and we can stick with the style that most suits us or change it up so that we keep being surprised by the ships themselves.

Over the years, Royal Caribbean has always presented a strong image, appealing to active, adventure seeking people and their families. To that end, they introduced onboard rock climbing, ice skating, surfing and ziplining, building larger and larger ships to house them.


With Oasis of the Seas, Royal Caribbean took it all to a new level, what most of us would call a Floating Wonder of the World, and now they've added her twin sister, Allure of the Seas.

Take nothing away from the excellent Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries between which they alternate weekly, but the stars of the show are definitely the ships themselves. They have rightly demanded premium pricing upon introduction, as evidenced by their ability to fill the capacity week after week.

Rather than spend a lot of time describing them, I've decided to use their two short movies. I like the James Brolin one better, although Jenny McCarthy certainly is gorgeous eye candy and creates a presentation that I'd guess would be more appealing to my niece Kendra and her friends.  Sorry, Royal Caribbean's license for the movies must have expired or something, so I put a more boring video, though I will leave the links to the others in place, just in case they become re-activated.

If you are interested in booking a cruise, you can call me or check out prices at my live booking engine linked here. If you book there, I will be happy to check to see if there are any specials that I can apply and also follow-up as usual, helping you with any aspect of planning that requires assistance. Then again, if you are planning a trip within a few weeks, you might want to check with me before booking online, as I might know of an upcoming special that simply isn't available online yet.

Anyway, enjoy the movies, and see what life on these amazing ships is like in a very entertaining way.
