The newly enhanced
Oasis of the Seas
has returned to Miami after a $165 million renovation that added
brand-new amenities and popular
Royal Caribbean features to the
ship.
Making their Royal Caribbean debut on the Oasis are Portside BBQ, the
line's first barbecue joint, and Spotlight Karaoke, a dedicated singing
spot with a main stage and two private rooms. The ship now sports
passenger favorites like the Ultimate Abyss, the tallest slide at sea;
the Perfect Storm trio of waterslides; the Bionic Bar by Makr Shakr,
where robotic bartenders mix your drinks; and Music Hall, a two-level
live music venue.
The Oasis sails Caribbean voyages from Miami until early May 2020. It
then repositions to the New Jersey port of Bayonne, where it will be the
largest ship to sail from the area on Bahamas cruises that include
Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean's extensively refurbished
private island.

Carnival
has become the first cruise line to be certified as "sensory inclusive"
by KultureCity, a nonprofit dedicated to accessibility and inclusion for
individuals with sensory needs and invisible disabilities. Hundreds of
Carnival staff who interact with guests, including guest services
employees and youth counselors, were trained to help passengers with
sensory-related questions or needs associated with conditions like
autism, Down syndrome, PTSD and more.
At the start of their cruise, passengers can pick up KultureCity sensory
bags for the duration of their sailing; these contain items that help
calm and manage sensory overload, like noise-canceling headphones and
fidget toys. A KultureCity VIP lanyard helps staff identify guests.
KultureCity has helped more than 450 land-based venues like stadiums and
amusement parks implement similar measures.
All of Carnival's South Florida-based ships are certified, and the rest
of the fleet is slated to be completed by March 2020. The line reports
that it has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from families and
guests since the program was rolled out to the first vessels in
October.
Acclaimed chef Michel Roux Jr. will headline

Festival of Food & Wine Cruise
on the Queen Mary 2. Departing from Southampton (a port serving London)
on June 7, the trans-Atlantic crossing to New York will offer cooking
demonstrations, wine pairings and other events led by food and wine
experts.
Roux owns Le Gavroche, the first UK restaurant to receive one, two and
then three Michelin stars. His father and uncle opened the London spot
in 1967, and Roux took over the kitchen in 1991. On the QM2, Roux will
host dinners in The Verandah restaurant and a gala meal in the Britannia
Grill, in addition to sharing recipes and stories during demos and a
Q&A.
