Oasis or Allure ... which itinerary?

[MnAsMom]

Our boys will be 7 and 10 (or 11 if we wait till July) by next summer. they have never been to the Caribbean but we cruised Southern route on our honeymoon years ago. We would love to show them St Thomas (our favorite port on our cruise back then)... but we also would love to see RCCL's private spot in Labadee ourselves. which would you choose

 

Labadee, Haiti; Falmouth, Jamaica; Cozumel, Mexico

 

OR

 

Nassau, Bahamas; Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas; Philipsburg, St. Maarten

 

also is there any difference between Oasis and Allure aside from the fact that Allure is newer?

I would choose the second itinerary because I like the ports better. I don't know anything about the ships; have you gone to the cruiseline's webpage and compared them?

There are a few diferences on the ships - oasis has a fish shanty and i think on allure its a different eating place. oasis has hairspray as a musical allure has chicago. they both have the kids clubs and kids swim area, rock walls, surf simulaters, zip lines, ice scating, basketball courts. allure is like 4 inches longer. they both have dreamworks on the boat. We were on oasis and did the easter in april and had a wonderful time.
