Oasis of the Seas Destinations

Oasis of the Seas as one of the largest cruise ships in the world sails around the Caribbean islands on 2 different routes, i.e. Eastern and Western Caribbean islands. Also as the premiere ship in marine tourism industry, the cruise vessel can accommodate 6,296 (guests) who are served by 2,165 crews.

• The destinations for Eastern Caribbean are the ports of call of Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Nassau, Bahamas; Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 
• For the Western Caribbean, the ports of call will be Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Labadee, Haiti; Falmouth, Jamaica; Cozumel, Mexico; Fort Lauderdale, Florida

One of the port of calls for Oasis of the Seas is Nassau. Nassau as the capital of the commonwealth of the Bahamas is a popular travel destination for American holiday makers due to its very close location with the United States (less than 300 km from Miami, Florida). The government of the Bahamas had to spend more than 30 million dollars to do the dredging of the seabed around the pier, and improve the facilities in the harbor where the ship would dock. Song of Norway - the first cruise ship in Royal Caribbean International's fleet also made Nassau as her first port of call. More than 60 percent of the the Bahamas GDP come from tourism. Since tourism is the lifeblood of the Bahamas such investment to safely accommodate the Oasis of the Seas is worth it. Here cruisers can enjoy shows and entertainment as well as tours around the city.
Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas is a nice port for those who want to enjoy swimming along beautiful white sandy beaches, or master the art of bargain at hundreds of duty free shops along the main street of  Charlotte Amalie or in the Havensight Mall.
MV Oasis of the Seas are equipped with advanced navigational technology to guide her around the Caribbean seas. With such technology, we hope that the crews of the cruise ship will be able to perform their duties without experiencing any troubles both at sea and at ports. The Costa Concordia accident in Giglio island of Italy was most likely caused by human error. It is an expensive lesson for all of the cruise ship operators. Crews of cruise and passenger ships need to handle their vessels with care so that the capsizing of Costa Condordia would not repeated again - now and in the future. by Charles Roring
