    I absolutely love you guys! So often, when people are used to one line (as you are with RCCL) they go onto a new line just LOOKING for things not to like. You were the opposite - just completely upbeat and open-minded. You were able to share a few (very reasonable) complaints, but your enthusiasm for everything else was just infectious!

I recommend their new ship coming out this year called jubilee. Is their sister ship to Celebration and Mardi Gras. I think it will be shipping off from Texas.

    • @ryanandkala
      @ryanandkala  Год назад +4

      Thank you so much! Oasis class ships are amazing!! We've been on the Symphony and we're going to vlog an Oasis cruise in September so you'll be able to see! There is no nice aft pool with a nice view or anything like the Patio Pool on the Celebration. There is the Solarium that has a nice view but it's covered, there's also just lounging on the top area of the Lido deck. My general suggestion would be to try to get the 3 night dining package if it's in the budget. The food is so good on the Oasis class they have so many options and the Central park area is beautiful. We also remember the entertainment being so much better, we really enjoyed the Aqua Theatre shows, Comedy club and piano bar. You're going to have a blast!!

      There’s so many GF options on board! My life is more complex because I am also a vegetarian! But almost anything can be made GF on the menu as long as you let your wait staff know in advance.
      The deco deli had GF bread to make sandwiches, the Miami slice had GF pizza cooked on separate pans so no cross contamination and the Main Dining room is great for allergies as well. Cucina capitano and Cha bang were also amazing for GF option!
      Trust me there’s a ton for her to have! :)

But Iaid out very differently. I live in Jacksonville. We have the Carnival Elation. Its the smallest ship in the fleet. But a nice ship. Very clean and very easy to get around.
