Back to the Bridge: A Perspective from Former Captains
Two retired Royal Caribbean captains are on Oasis of the Seas to experience the transatlantic crossing. Get their expert opinions of how the ship has fared, the temperamental North Atlantic weather and all Oasis has to offer to her guests.






Day 6: Arrival in Labadee, Haiti
Labadee, Haiti introduction to the island taken from the balcony of our suite. I think I mistook the ''private beach" advertising message to mean a "private island" off of Haiti. In fact, Labadee is really just a long and beautiful peninsula of Haiti. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, and Royal Caribbean has greatly increased the standard of living in this section of the country. The average annual Haitian income is $250; Haitian employees of RCCL make that every two weeks! It gives perspective: wages that would be considered sub-minimum wage in the USA make a Haitian an extremely wealthy person. jpmeyer.com







Royal Caribbean cruise turned into nightmare because of loud noise every night.
I had a room on 9th floor. Solarium located on 11th. Pool Crew dragging beach loungers at night time for cleaning of the deck. When I complained to Guest Services, lady told me that it is bizarre I can hear that. So, see for yourself! Can you hear this awful sound while metal loungers are dragged against ceramic tiles on all metal ship? I made this video because I was really pissed off to be waken up every night first at 2 AM and then at 6 AM, and Guest Services does not take you seriously. Result: 4 hours of sleep and ruined days. Make no mistake, Royal Caribbean and Independence of the Sea are great, but sometimes small detail can ruin everything. Guest Services employee should pay more attention to customers and most important KNOW THEIR SHIP!!!






Show Stopper II
This is the cast on the Nordic Empress for Royal Caribbean in 1993 performing their opening number. Great cast, great energy. This really isn't that interesting unless you were in the cast or did the show!
