I have been on several cruises. Whether it be on Carnival, Royal Caribbean, or Norwegian. Royal Caribbean has the nicest ships, but I've always had more fun on Carnival. For some reason Carnival attracts the "party crowd". Royal Caribbean attracts the older, more reserved crowd. I don't know if it's because it's cheaper or what. These are both nice ships, but the Oasis is the better ship. I would still choose Carnival over Royal Caribbean any day.
@5115heath ok go back and tell me exactly where i said monarch is bigger than dream... and just because something is bigger ddoesnt mean it can kick somethings ass... and you should kick your ownself in the ass for being retarded.....
And RC has five bowthursters on the oasis and their is no need to have that many .Four bowthursters will do fine .Just make them more powerful . Their just trying to make their ship look bigger with five.
CARNIVAL has a nother cruise company somewere else .carnival is bigger then RC but RC has the oasis that is not much bigger the Carnival dream. Their is a video of the carnival dream and the oasis docked next to each other and their is not a big size difference .The oasis is just wider for the mall inside ,Its longer because the mall will be longer then other RC ships . GO CARNIVAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@EtecGear dude.... the oasis is 100 ft. longer almost twice as heavy and twice as wide ive been on carnival 8 times more than rcc but rcc is alot better
oasis of the seas is much much better...carnival has a water slide big woop... oasis has 2 flow riders, a multipurpose sports court, mini golf, 2 rock climbing walls, zip lining, more pools and hot tubs than carnival, aqua theater, boardwalk with tons of stores and food places, carrosell, SHALL I CONTINUE??? central park with stores, 2 floor mall, casino, 5 floor dinning room, its bigger, looks nicer, better service, on board touch screen passenger navigation system, and more but i ran outa room
i have a coworker that came back from the oasis. she said the ship is amazing and very beautiful but was just too big and over crowded. food was ok waited in looooong lines but liked carnivals better. she liked royal caribbean and would cruise them again, just not the oasis.
Hmm.. that's funny because I've heard the exact oppisite of what you said. Their wasn't any line, food was GREAT, and she wasn't overcrowded. Maybe your friend just had bad luck.
Give it some time. Right now Oasis is the hottest ship on the Ocean!! Was it a school vacation week?? All ships are packed then.
Have you friend try the RCCL Radiance Class (3 ships in class) or the Voyager Class ships (5 ships in class) theres also the Legend Class. RCCL has over 20 ships, it shouldn't be hard to find another great RCCL cruise.
Couple of corrections. Radiance class has four ships(Serenade, Radiance, Jewel, Brilliance). Also, it's not Legend class, it's Vision class. But I agree, When you go on a school vacation time it is very packed. You'll have great fun on your next RC vacation.
I stand corrected. I forgot about the Jewel. They keep renaming the old classes. There used to be a Legend class, Vision Class, and Enchantment Class.
No. I know what's happening. Legend and Splendour have the same deck plans but they are different from Vision, Rhapsody, and Enchanment. Enchanment got her overhaul and her deck plans changed from the rest of the Vision class ships. So in the Vision class there are three different deck plans but they are still in the same class because they have the same hull design. It's complicated.
Let us know how you make out! I'm doing a little survey of both ships. I have a really good feeling that there will not be any dissapointed travelers from the Oasis I'm not sure about Carnival Dream.
My wife and I are now 37 days out from our trip on Oasis. We'll let you know how it goes. Our trip on Adventure of the seas in July was wonderful but its time to cruise again!! Oasis looks like it will be a grand adventure.
oh yea, I forgot about the royal promanade and the H2O zone. The crazy thing is that I'm sure didn't mention a lot of other stuff. Craziest of all is that I haven't been on the Oasis yet and its twice the size of the ship that had all this stuff.
RCCL is simply awsome!! There is just no other cruise lines with such a following and such a cutting edge approach. Name another cruise line building ships like this!! Maybe in their dreams, but nothing under construction that I know of.
RCCL stands alone as far as having things to do onboard. Ice skating, surfing, rock climbing, basketball, vollyball, soccer, dodge ball, in-line skating, miniture golf, virtual golf, and all the regular and sports pool activities. Then the entertainment, Ice skating shows, broadway shows, comedy shows, water shows, street performers, Vagas shows, etc.
Carnival ships, because of design, do not have the availible venues to have some of these types of shows.
Go on some more cruises. Keep trying both lines. Keep you mind open and give RCCL another chance. I can't amagine that Carnival has more activites!! If one ship has more things to do then the other how can Carnival have more activities? Maybe a better way to put your argument is that Carnival has more structured activities. Even then, maybe its was true on the 2 cruises you went on, but not typical!!
Rc have better boats. i must say the boat isnt the only thing that makes the cruise. but outside the boat stuff like going to the pool and flo rider and that stuff they dont have many games and entertainment throughout the day. i do love sushi and every carinval b oat has a sushi bar. let me add good sushi bar. RC sushi was so nasty. I had fun on both lines but carinaval has the better food. i mean that chocolate melting cake man! Rc did have better room service but carnival is just better
oasis of the seas ALL THE WAY KIDS!!! carnival dream looks like crud compared to that nylon BEAST lol jk im just kiddin but REALLY REALLY i love oasis maybe u can tell by my nametag hehehehe
I think Oasis, she gonna take in many persons into the "Cruise Life". But what i think gonna happen is that Carnival gonna come out with more sisters to Carnival Dream, because she is in midsize an can come into more ports around the world, than Oasis that just can come in to special ports.
i'm sorry but this is a very unfair contest - oasis of the seas quite literally pisses on every other passenger ship ever! no offence to carnival (nice ship) but this is like comparing concorde to a hang glider!!!
Like I said before. It isn't Royal Caribbean's fault Carnival CAN'T keep up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Carnival hasn't exactly tried to even think of building a ship like Oasis. Most of their ships mostly look identical on the outside. And that is BORING!!!!!!! Even Costa has copied the outside designs.
It's funny because Splendor was suppose to belong to Costa. Carnival couldn't even think about a ship like Splendor.
But now even Costa is building larger and better ships than Carnival!
the volume of oasis of the seas is 50% bigger then the volume of carnival dream!Oasis of the seas also has 24 restauraunts and carnival dream has 3. Oasis of the seas also has wave pools a zipline, a icerink and 4 pools a park with trees 4 and a h2o zone with 2 waterslides. All carnival dream has is 3 pools and 6 slides
Carnival Dream is a beautiful ship with out question. But in my opinion it is extremely moronic to say that Carnival Dream is a nicer ship than The Oasis of The Seas. The Royal Caribbean Ship will be extremely elegant,revolutionary and innovative. There is NO comparison to Royal Caribbean International's services & brilliance.
In terms of ship I would definitely go Oasis all the way, the Dream can barely compete with the voyager class, which is from 10 years ago. I went on the Carnival Conquest last November and this year I will be taking my first RC cruise in December. Honestly on the Conquest, I was very bored on the days at sea, yes parts were fun but there were many hours of me just looking for food. I had to eat to pass the time because the youth programs were pitiful and there was not much to do onboard for free
wow, you just definatly made me not want to go on carnival. lol i think carnival's pool decks are too small. i've seen the carnival paradise's and i thought, how are you supose to get around on that little thing with 1 thousand people!! they need to get wider.
i've been on monarch of the seas and loved her. i can't beleive royal caribbean and their designs. monarch is older than paradise and she is better!!!!
ROYAL CARIBBEAN ALL THE WAY!!!!!what cruise are you going on in december?
I will be going on Voyager of the Seas out of Galveston.
I checked online and Oasis of the Seas is 154 ft wide and Carnival Dream is only 122 ft wide. You are defiantly right, Carnival's ships are not wide. Plus, I have heard that wider ships do not rock as much.
well, it all depends on what help control that ship. some ships have stabilizers, some ships have fins. it depends on the design too. was the ship made for trans-atlantic cruises or the panama canal. Carnival choose panama canal.
Except that the Carnival Dream is too large to currently fit through the Panama Canal... However it will be able to fit when the expansion of the canal opens, but at the rate these ships are getting larger (passenger and cargo) those locks will soon become obsolete. Just a random fact.
I have only ever cruise Carnival, and consider myself quite loyal-----but I plan to cruise on Oasis sometime in the future for sure. Its like comparing apples and oranges.
It really is not fair to compare these ships, because Oasis is far, far superior in its features, design and size! Not saying Carnival Dream is any dingy, but it just does not come close to the amount of amenities and features Oasis has on board. However some people may think having endless things to do on a ship is not a priority, so they can go on Dream and slide down the water slide while I go surfing, zip lining, walk through the different neighborhoods and watch an outdoor aquatic show!
it is very fair. Carnival can't come up with new things like Royal Caribbean. It's not Royal Caribbean's fault or my fault that Carnival can't keep up.
I don't want to sound mean or anything, but I just got back fro Cozumel, Mexico on vacation. I was staying at El Cid which is a resort right in front of a cruise port and all of the Carnival ships looked old compared to Royal Caribbean. I don't know if its the design of the ship or the fact that they didn't seem as well maintained. (Rust issues) but all Carnival ships look like they're 20 years old to me. I think its the boxy way they design them. They need to get past that.
These 2 aren't even in the same class, the carnival dream is not even as large as the RCL Voyager class, never mind the Freedom class or the Oasis class.. if your idea of a cruise is a couple of water slides the you will love Carnival.. RCL constantly push the boundaries of what you think is possible on a cruise ship and make you wonder why no one has thought of it before.. amazing ships,staff and service, thats what counts.
If your idea of a cruise ship is a floating mall/food court where everything is extra that by all means go RC. There is a reason they dont build ships the size as the Oasis. Worst of that it cannot fit in most ports. much of it is dead space hollowed out in the center with all those tiny rooms overlooking only other rooms. You are supposed to be at sea not looking at a wall of steel. RC design gimmicks into their behemouths. They do not engage the passengers in the fun that
wrong!! the reason they don't build ships the size of the oasis is "cost" and the fact that this is a new development, passenger ships have never been so large in any time in history so they are pushing the boundaries of what is possible..there was a time when the carnival destiny was considered the biggest they could go, now that is small... the oasis/freedom and voyager class are destinations in themselves offering lots more than any of the competition..
there are more private balconies on this ship both inside and out than any ship to date, so how are you looking at a wall of steel instead of the sea. the ones on the inside look into a central park, there are people who would prefer that view to a sea view, no one else has done that.... and can i ask since you are a carnival fan, what makes carnival ships supposedly fun, i've been on a carnival cruise and the only fun i could see was in the carnival brochure where "fun" is printed everywhere
I had worked for both companies (Carnival and Royal caribbean) as a crew menber and i know very well the difference bettween both and for far royal is the best not only for ship design or for more things to do onboard if not for the treatment to the personnel on board they take care of you and of your welfare while carnival take care only of their money earnigs and for far royal is and oasis to be not only for passanger also for crew and carnival..............not more comments for respect to you
I work onboard carnival fascination in 2002 till 2003 then celebrity cruises which belong to royal know then disney cruises princess and norwegian cruise lines (ncl) and for me the worst is carnival i dont know why they try to lie the people when they post in their ships the fun ships
because more fun that the carnival ships is to take a trip in the subway
Just got off the Adventure of the Seas on Aug. 2nd. I thought the ship flowed well and wasn't cramped. Like the rooms as much as any other. I'll let you know how the Oasis feels. I think any port who is interested in tourism will expand eventually to handle Oasis. I think St. Thomas, St. Maartin and the Bahama's are the first because they have the least to do. I would guess within a year all the major ports will be able to handle her.
azi-pods are a faulty costly design. Many ships such as the QM2 have had so many problems with that that they have sued the only manufacturer. Originally designed to have azipods, The Dream uses variable pitch props and thrusters.
Believe it or not the first ship to have azipods was a Carnival ship, now I don't know why they got rid of them for the Dream, maybe they were bad, but I have never heard bad things about them from Carnival or the past Royal Caribbean ships that had them.
They've just traded off maneuverability for efficiency for the Dream which probably gives an indication of the type of voyages they have intended for her. Conventional shaft-driven props are generally more efficient than azipods but give less options for maneuvering so my guess is the Dream will probably do more berth to berth type voyages and less dynamic positioning and will be geared more towards economy. I'd definitely prefer to work on Oasis, would take me longer to get bored of her ;-)
Most people become deck officers (bridge / navigation officers are called "deck" officers or "Mates") by completing a cadetship which usually takes a minimum of 2.5 years, you need to apply to a shipping company or ship-manning agency and if accepted they'll put you through the sea time and courses required and pay you a fairly low wage, pretty good deal really.
No, forget the military, the merchant navy is completely separate and consists of all (or most of) the baulk carriers, tankers, cruise liners, passenger ferries etc etc. that carry commercial cargo. These are all owned and / or run by shipping companies like Maersk, APL, CGM CMA, BP, etc etc... and these shipping companies will often use agencies to provide officers and crew to run the ships.
other than eat. The days in port were fun, and I remember the cruise as a lot of fun because i waited so long that I forced my self to remember it that way. Yes overall the cruise WAS fun, but while I was on i I could not help but think that it was all such a disappointment from all Carnival made it out to be. I imagine Royal Caribbean has it down better, plus we will be going with friends this December so it will be interesting. Thanks for reading my ranting speech!
Nothing against Carnival but I'm Loyal to Royal. We booked on Oasis last Sept. for a January cruise. Can't get enough info on the ship. Until January we are going to make do on Adventure of the seas next week. Woo Hoo, VACATION IS HERE!
Nothing but hard work. When I first started out in life I couldn't imagine being able to afford more than one cruise in my life. Now we're able to cruise twice in a year. All due to hard work.
I think Oasis is much better. The thing that is interesting about Oasis is that the stern is very open, plus it has a park in the middle as well with a promenade.
Nice pics thanks, i like both those ships, although i must admit , i saw a photo recently of Oasis on sea trials, and she did look a bit ugly stern on, but maybe she`ll look nicer when all the glass is exposed, and a fresh coat of paint.
Also i noticed Carnical Dream looks to have the conventional propellors , wheras the Oasis has the pods we are more used to seeing on newer ships. Does anyone know why they have changed back again?
Yeah, I agree. Oasis does look alittle wierd from the back view, but she still is beautiful, to me. I guess Carnival is going back to regular props. I didn't reconize that, good eye.
I still need to go on one of these cruises

Carnival Dream is a beautiful ship with out question. But in my opinion it is extremely moronic to say that Carnival Dream is a nicer ship than The Oasis of The Seas. The Royal Caribbean Ship will be extremely elegant,revolutionary and innovative. There is NO comparison to Royal Caribbean International's services & brilliance.

It's not a fair compare. But design wise the Oasis loses big times. And that hurts to say as a true RCCL fan :P They're losing it man!!!

Oasis of the seas!!!!
YaritzaMarie 2 years ago
In terms of ship I would definitely go Oasis all the way, the Dream can barely compete with the voyager class, which is from 10 years ago. I went on the Carnival Conquest last November and this year I will be taking my first RC cruise in December. Honestly on the Conquest, I was very bored on the days at sea, yes parts were fun but there were many hours of me just looking for food. I had to eat to pass the time because the youth programs were pitiful and there was not much to do onboard for free

wow, you just definatly made me not want to go on carnival. lol i think carnival's pool decks are too small. i've seen the carnival paradise's and i thought, how are you supose to get around on that little thing with 1 thousand people!! they need to get wider.
i've been on monarch of the seas and loved her. i can't beleive royal caribbean and their designs. monarch is older than paradise and she is better!!!!
ROYAL CARIBBEAN ALL THE WAY!!!!!what cruise are you going on in december?
WamsWarrior 2 years ago
I will be going on Voyager of the Seas out of Galveston.
I checked online and Oasis of the Seas is 154 ft wide and Carnival Dream is only 122 ft wide. You are defiantly right, Carnival's ships are not wide. Plus, I have heard that wider ships do not rock as much.
corky2491 2 years ago
well, it all depends on what help control that ship. some ships have stabilizers, some ships have fins. it depends on the design too. was the ship made for trans-atlantic cruises or the panama canal. Carnival choose panama canal.
WamsWarrior 2 years ago
Except that the Carnival Dream is too large to currently fit through the Panama Canal... However it will be able to fit when the expansion of the canal opens, but at the rate these ships are getting larger (passenger and cargo) those locks will soon become obsolete. Just a random fact.

is it just me or does the dream have rudders, NO PODS!!!!
Oasis 4 sure!!!!

wellingtonton88 2 years ago 2
It really is not fair to compare these ships, because Oasis is far, far superior in its features, design and size! Not saying Carnival Dream is any dingy, but it just does not come close to the amount of amenities and features Oasis has on board. However some people may think having endless things to do on a ship is not a priority, so they can go on Dream and slide down the water slide while I go surfing, zip lining, walk through the different neighborhoods and watch an outdoor aquatic show!
DavidBell6408 2 years ago
it is very fair. Carnival can't come up with new things like Royal Caribbean. It's not Royal Caribbean's fault or my fault that Carnival can't keep up.

tacoforce 2 years ago
I don't want to sound mean or anything, but I just got back fro Cozumel, Mexico on vacation. I was staying at El Cid which is a resort right in front of a cruise port and all of the Carnival ships looked old compared to Royal Caribbean. I don't know if its the design of the ship or the fact that they didn't seem as well maintained. (Rust issues) but all Carnival ships look like they're 20 years old to me. I think its the boxy way they design them. They need to get past that.
hop208 2 years ago
These 2 aren't even in the same class, the carnival dream is not even as large as the RCL Voyager class, never mind the Freedom class or the Oasis class.. if your idea of a cruise is a couple of water slides the you will love Carnival.. RCL constantly push the boundaries of what you think is possible on a cruise ship and make you wonder why no one has thought of it before.. amazing ships,staff and service, thats what counts.
suprac19 2 years ago
That's is why they are vs. they are not suppose to be in the same class.
WamsWarrior 2 years ago
If your idea of a cruise ship is a floating mall/food court where everything is extra that by all means go RC. There is a reason they dont build ships the size as the Oasis. Worst of that it cannot fit in most ports. much of it is dead space hollowed out in the center with all those tiny rooms overlooking only other rooms. You are supposed to be at sea not looking at a wall of steel. RC design gimmicks into their behemouths. They do not engage the passengers in the fun that
cgotommy 2 years ago
wrong!! the reason they don't build ships the size of the oasis is "cost" and the fact that this is a new development, passenger ships have never been so large in any time in history so they are pushing the boundaries of what is possible..there was a time when the carnival destiny was considered the biggest they could go, now that is small... the oasis/freedom and voyager class are destinations in themselves offering lots more than any of the competition..
suprac19 2 years ago 2
I agree with you the reason for them is cost is money they are miserable even to pay the personnel
XxxdchUchobxxX 2 years ago
there are more private balconies on this ship both inside and out than any ship to date, so how are you looking at a wall of steel instead of the sea. the ones on the inside look into a central park, there are people who would prefer that view to a sea view, no one else has done that.... and can i ask since you are a carnival fan, what makes carnival ships supposedly fun, i've been on a carnival cruise and the only fun i could see was in the carnival brochure where "fun" is printed everywhere
suprac19 2 years ago
I had worked for both companies (Carnival and Royal caribbean) as a crew menber and i know very well the difference bettween both and for far royal is the best not only for ship design or for more things to do onboard if not for the treatment to the personnel on board they take care of you and of your welfare while carnival take care only of their money earnigs and for far royal is and oasis to be not only for passanger also for crew and carnival..............not more comments for respect to you
XxxdchUchobxxX 2 years ago
How long did you work on ships? I really want to always go on Royal beacause I've heard to many bad stories about Carnival.
WamsWarrior 2 years ago
I work onboard carnival fascination in 2002 till 2003 then celebrity cruises which belong to royal know then disney cruises princess and norwegian cruise lines (ncl) and for me the worst is carnival i dont know why they try to lie the people when they post in their ships the fun ships
because more fun that the carnival ships is to take a trip in the subway
XxxdchUchobxxX 2 years ago

WamsWarrior 2 years ago
make sure you try it for just one day though, or better still don't try it at all.
suprac19 2 years ago
is it really that bad?
WamsWarrior 2 years ago
Just got off the Adventure of the Seas on Aug. 2nd. I thought the ship flowed well and wasn't cramped. Like the rooms as much as any other. I'll let you know how the Oasis feels. I think any port who is interested in tourism will expand eventually to handle Oasis. I think St. Thomas, St. Maartin and the Bahama's are the first because they have the least to do. I would guess within a year all the major ports will be able to handle her.

planedudea380 2 years ago
azi-pods are a faulty costly design. Many ships such as the QM2 have had so many problems with that that they have sued the only manufacturer. Originally designed to have azipods, The Dream uses variable pitch props and thrusters.
cgotommy 2 years ago
Believe it or not the first ship to have azipods was a Carnival ship, now I don't know why they got rid of them for the Dream, maybe they were bad, but I have never heard bad things about them from Carnival or the past Royal Caribbean ships that had them.
corky2491 2 years ago
They've just traded off maneuverability for efficiency for the Dream which probably gives an indication of the type of voyages they have intended for her. Conventional shaft-driven props are generally more efficient than azipods but give less options for maneuvering so my guess is the Dream will probably do more berth to berth type voyages and less dynamic positioning and will be geared more towards economy. I'd definitely prefer to work on Oasis, would take me longer to get bored of her ;-)

that is awesome. i want to work ona cruise ship bridge one day. what? idk. how were you able to join to work on the bridge?
WamsWarrior 2 years ago
Most people become deck officers (bridge / navigation officers are called "deck" officers or "Mates") by completing a cadetship which usually takes a minimum of 2.5 years, you need to apply to a shipping company or ship-manning agency and if accepted they'll put you through the sea time and courses required and pay you a fairly low wage, pretty good deal really.
cetaceous 2 years ago
when you sau cadetship, do you mean like navy or something???
WamsWarrior 2 years ago
No, forget the military, the merchant navy is completely separate and consists of all (or most of) the baulk carriers, tankers, cruise liners, passenger ferries etc etc. that carry commercial cargo. These are all owned and / or run by shipping companies like Maersk, APL, CGM CMA, BP, etc etc... and these shipping companies will often use agencies to provide officers and crew to run the ships.
cetaceous 2 years ago
so i would have to work on a cargo ship before i work on a cruise ship????
WamsWarrior 2 years ago
other than eat. The days in port were fun, and I remember the cruise as a lot of fun because i waited so long that I forced my self to remember it that way. Yes overall the cruise WAS fun, but while I was on i I could not help but think that it was all such a disappointment from all Carnival made it out to be. I imagine Royal Caribbean has it down better, plus we will be going with friends this December so it will be interesting. Thanks for reading my ranting speech!
corky2491 2 years ago
Nothing against Carnival but I'm Loyal to Royal. We booked on Oasis last Sept. for a January cruise. Can't get enough info on the ship. Until January we are going to make do on Adventure of the seas next week. Woo Hoo, VACATION IS HERE!

I think Oasis is much better. The thing that is interesting about Oasis is that the stern is very open, plus it has a park in the middle as well with a promenade.

spikeyikey208 2 years ago 2
Nice pics thanks, i like both those ships, although i must admit , i saw a photo recently of Oasis on sea trials, and she did look a bit ugly stern on, but maybe she`ll look nicer when all the glass is exposed, and a fresh coat of paint.
Also i noticed Carnical Dream looks to have the conventional propellors , wheras the Oasis has the pods we are more used to seeing on newer ships. Does anyone know why they have changed back again?

Yeah, I agree. Oasis does look alittle wierd from the back view, but she still is beautiful, to me. I guess Carnival is going back to regular props. I didn't reconize that, good eye.
