The past few weeks have seen the U. S. debut of a couple cruise ships that we (Mr. Makarma) have spoken about in the past. We'll guess though, that while you've seen plenty of media coverage about Royal Caribbean International's Oasis of the Seas, you didn't even know that Carnival Cruise Line's Carnival Dream had also arrived on the scene.
Why's that? Simple, Oasis is a no-holds-barred cruise industry game-changer, while the Dream is "only" the very best ship industry-leader Carnival has ever built.
Oasis is a headline grabber - largest cruise ship (by far), ziplining, ice skating, a Carousel for kids (of all ages), aqua theater, etc.
The Dream, on the other hand, takes the best of Carnival's tried-and-true formula, and enhances it a bit, adding a few features new to the cruise line.
Which concept do we prefer? Neither - we think both companies are doing a terrific job not only catering to their past guests, but also giving many thousands of travelers that have never considered a cruise vacation, two compelling new reasons to try one.
