Sat1 Posted May 5, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 5, 2015 What sea route do you think she will take? Isn't she too wide for the canal? Will she stop on the West coast, Honolulu? WOW, What a re-positioning cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahqa Posted May 5, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Umm.... Oasis isn't going to China. She's going to Port Canaveral next year and as of now they haven't announced any Oasis class heading to China. Are you sure that you're not thinking of Quantum or Ovation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since she isn't going to Asia, it really doesn't matter at this point. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure? Do you have a source for that info? Last time I checked they didn't believe the ports of call around China had sufficient infrastructure to cater to an Oasis Class ship. Probably only Hong Kong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelblu Posted May 5, 2015 #8 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Oasis going to China was mentioned, on many of these threads and also, confirmed by a Loyalty Ambassador, but that was before her going to PC and the intro of Ovation to China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ourusualbeach Posted May 5, 2015 #9 Share Posted May 5, 2015 My guess would be that this was widely speculated upon PRIOR to Ovation being announced for Asia. I think that they swapped Ovation and Oasis for Asia and will now wait until 2018 and Oasis 4 to send an Oasis class ship to Asia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare orville99 Posted May 5, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 5, 2015 If an Oasis class ship does eventually repo to China, my bet is she would do a Suez route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sat1 Posted May 5, 2015 Author #11 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Are you sure that you're not thinking of Quantum or Ovation? OK, same question, when one of the above do.... yes the Suez seems logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philob Posted May 5, 2015 #12 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) The new Hong Kong Cruise Terminal (partially owned by Royal Caribbean) is said have the capacity to dock two Oasis class ships at the same time. If Royal commits to sending Oasis class or larger ships to China, I'm sure the Chinese port authorities (like the Emperors used to do) will make it happen :cool: Edited May 5, 2015 by Philob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocav Posted May 5, 2015 #13 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Anybody think they are going way too all out in Asia? If you send too many big ships to a destination you over saturate it and struggle to sell them, the reason the Caribbean is so successful in modern day times is the variety of different types of ships, sizes of ships, lines, and facilities available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hong Kong gov footed the bill and owns the terminal which rci will pay rent Royal Caribbean, the world’s second-largest cruise operator, owns a 20 percent stake in a consortium that operates the terminal. Another 20 percent stake is held by Shun Tak Holdings Ltd., founded by gambling magnate Stanley Ho. Worldwide Flight Services, which provides airport and air-cargo services, has the remaining 60 percent. The group has agreed to pay the government about HK$13 million as fixed rent for the 10-year operation and another variable rent of 7.3 percent to 34 percent of gross receipts.

Nevertheless, RCL most likely had some say in building it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted May 5, 2015 #16 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Recently docked in Hong Kong at the new terminal (onboard Mariner)....and no doubt it could handle the Oasis class ship and more...amazing place !!!! As far as other ports we happened to visit on this itinerary...some of those might not be able too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
