Going on the Oasis of the Seas next May. Never booked a cruise before, so I don't know the benefits of going through a cruise agent. Can you please tell me?
Answer :
Either way. You most likely will get a bit of a better deal with the travel agent. The ship will get their people so they don't care much about perks. The agent wants to interest you into getting a better deal for you as well as for them so you can get great discounted deals.
Answer :
Either one would be able to help you with the various decisions you will need to make before you can book, i.e. type of cabin, location, etc. Often, travel agents will add "perks" to the cruise booking, e.g. a bottle of wine, or dinner in the premium restaurant, etc. The cruise lines themselves usually don't do that.
Someone in my family just got on the Oasis today - it will be interesting to hear what they think of it. I wouldn't book that ship, but it does seem to be popular.

Anyone been on the Oasis of the Seas? Particularly a balcony room on Boardwalk?
I am debating on whether to get a balcony room on Boardwalk or in Central Park. I know the CP will be nice and quiet but, with the level of the people who will frequent the BdW, I have to wonder how much noise will filter up to your room if you are only 2 decks up. Also, I wonder how much motion there is in the far back on a ship this size. I've heard the middle cabins on any ship will feel the swaying the least but, I wondered on Oasis.
Answer :
I have been on the Oasis Twice Once in a Central Park Balcony and once in a ocean view balcony I would say from what I saw during the day on the boardwalk it might get pretty noisy but at night it is very calm after the aqua theater shows Central park you will not hear a thing but there are the pool parties/sail away parties during the day they play music not too loud though but it is dead silent at night You could only hear the wind blow but that's it there is very very little if any motion there. There would be more near the BW But what ever you want both are good Bw has a good view of the aqua theater
Answer :
I got a balcony stateroom for the boardwalk and totally regreted it. There is no privacy whatsoever. You can practically see into others rooms and it is very noisy. If you are going to get anything get a central park room. Central park was always peaceful and quiet.

Oasis of the Seas or Carnival Dream?
My family and I are planning a cruise for christmas/ new years 2010. We have narrowed it down to two cruises. Which one do you think would be better.
Oasis of the Seas
23 Ft. Lauderdale
24 At Sea
25 Labadee
26 Falmouth
27 At Sea
28 Cozumel
29 At Sea
30 Ft. Lauderdale
$1,799
Carnival Dream
23 Port Canaveral
24 Nassau, Bahamas
25 At Sea
26 At Sea
27 Cozumel
28 Roatan
29 Belize
30 Costa Maya
31 At Sea
1 Port Canaveral
$1,489
Which one do you think would be better? Should I pay more and go for Oasis or is Dream a good ship? Is carnival suitable for families? Which one???????
Answer :
Although the ports on the Carnival Dream's itinerary are a bit more exotic, there is no comparison on what the two ships offer, or for the most part the kind of passengers you will be with while on-board. There is a reason Carnival has a lower price-point, and the answer is simple: Nothing in life (or vacation) is free! Because they are noticeably cheaper, they attract bargain-hunters; and many bargain-hunters (but not all) tend to be less-desirable to be around in most social-settings. Having said all the above, both are brand-new ships with each cruise-line's best crews representing the companies.
Here is just some what you will find on Oasis that you will not find on Dream:
Ice Skating rink that includes both Ice Capades-like shows and public ice-skating time (on previous RCCL ships as well)
Boxing Ring w/ instructors (First-seen on Freedom-Class ships)
Man-Made Surf-Riding pools called the "FLOWRIDER" (Another "Freedom-Class First")
High-Diving water-shows augmented by a 26-piece orchestra encompassed by a one-of-a-kind Amphitheater located on the sturn (very back-portion) of the ship in front of seated crowds of more than 300 people.
The one and only Viking Crown Lounge which is located at the highest-point of all RCCL ships.
The "Rising Tide" lounge located in "Central Park". (RCCL's mini-version of New York City's one and only Central Park.) The Rising-Tide bar actually rises and settles between several outdoor decks while providing un-obstructed views from every seat in the bar.
A dedicated children's water Theme-Park
A 300-foot long "Zip-Line" that spans the length of "Central Park, 9 stories above the trees and brooks that run through the park.
Age-Appropriate Science Labs for all school-age kids
A children's theatre mini-camp that actually puts on real stage presentations for family and friends.
Two kinds of balconies: Those which overlook "Central Park" and leave you with the feeling of life in Mid-town Manhattan; and those which look out onto the ocean: Both aft-facing, and outside the port and starboard sides of the ship.
Two-Story apartments which supply unbelievable, two-story views of the ocean-vista!
These are only the highlights of this amazing work of nautical engineering mastery. There are many other things on this ship like a real Johnny Rockets Diner with singing waiters, a two-story library, an adults-only pool/solarium, Mini-Golf course, a real carnival carosel and much, much more. All of which have been, and continue to be parts of the RCCL 42-year drive to be the best in the business when it comes to dazzling their passengers! These are only the highlights! There is much more this incredible ship offers it's passengers; and with several of your days being spent at sea, there are more than enough things to keep the kids busy while the adults go off on their own for some quality couples-time alone!!!

i have heard the oasis of the seas is an amazing ship it is also very new . i have never heard of the carnival dream . both have great destinations.
