Travel is....

Expectation..

The whole world of travel, travel agents and writers, execs at other cruise lines and anyone who's ever gawked at a 2,500-passenger ship, is waiting breathlessly to see Royal Caribbean's big, beautiful and bodacious new vessel, Oasis of the Seas, due out at Port Everglades in about 18 days.

The $1.5 BILLION, 20-deck, 5,400-passengers with restaurants and lounges, a skating rink, flo-rider and climbing wall, will also feature a water show, live Broadway production, an exotic shopping area and open spaces never before seen at sea.

Oasis of the Seas will settle into a weekly seven-day schedule in December and will do a series of short inaugural cruises this month. She sailed from Finland last week and is so large that apparently sailing under a bridge in Denmark had to lower her stacks, but reported no damage. I've seen videos and pictures, read countless press releases and I, like everyone I know, can't wait to see her in person.

I will keep you posted.
