Comments on: When Everything Is About Oasis, What’s a Cruise Blogger Like Me To Do? http://www.cruisemates.com/blog/200910271163/oasis-whats-cruise-blogger/ Blogging the cruising world Mon, 20 May 2013 22:21:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: Twiftiestv http://www.cruisemates.com/blog/200910271163/oasis-whats-cruise-blogger/comment-page-1/#comment-1677 Twiftiestv Thu, 17 Dec 2009 22:07:29 +0000 http://www.cruisemates.com/blog/?p=1163#comment-1677 Seems to be mixed reviews about the Oasis cruise. We thought the cruise was absolutely wonderful! We posted some videos on our site to show everyone the fun that we had! Hope that others will enjoy it as well! We pretty much let the viewers decide for themselves as out vids generally will have little editing...what you see is how it is! Enjoy! http://www.twifties.tv/videos.php?category_id=9 Seems to be mixed reviews about the Oasis cruise. We thought the cruise was absolutely wonderful!

I almost feel bad for the hundreds of people working day and night to make these 'reveals' even possible, only to have it over shadowed by its suspiciously untimely press release.

On whole, with me the lone exception, the articles written about Oasis have mostly come with eager anticipation, and positive commentary as all the reveals were revealed :) As for me, I have certainly never "panned" the ship, or attempted to review it. This last blog was a satiric "woe is me" fun piece questioning what else there is to write about, with the Oasis hype taking the headlines. Even in my more critical blogs, it's been about the dramatic effect a ship like Oasis may have, not the ship itself. As I've stated I think it's most likely RCI will have huge success with Oasis.... and that result would mean higher pricing for it. Though, at the moment, there's still space available on the inaugural sailings, and even its Christmas cruise, so that may prove a bit problematic for them. Our editor in chief, Paul Motter will be on early sailings of the ship, and no doubt will write a full review, with lots of detail, when the time for that comes. Capt.

Toni Tenille is alive and well and living in Arizona. If Karen Carpenter had taken more cruises she may not have died of anorexia. Take care, Mike Captain:

Seriously, after all the posts and articles on Cruisemates complaining about bias in the media (by writers who have little or no cruising experience), I'm a bit surprised and disappointed for you to go ahead and pan a ship YOU have yet to experience.... (and you can called me Captain or CT... Tennille is the chick who wouldn't eat and died) ;-) Mr. kuki, you forgot Rush Limbaugh.

Disney Dream (entering service January 2011) will have a water slide-type ride that starts on Deck 16 and plummets all over the exterior of the ship. It's 700+ feet long and even hangs out over the side of the ship. If YOU'RE tired of Oasis (and I am too), imagine how weary most cruisers who follow this industry are. Always write for the reader and keep up the terrific work you done for over a decade. What interests you also interests readers.
