Most likely March/April 2017.

It says online that Oasis 4 will join Royal Caribbean's fleet in spring 2018. That's on the blog post.

Any thoughts or indications on where it will sail from?

Lots of them, but I'll just sit back and watch. Things can change between now and them and they may put it once place for the first few months or year till its new home is ready. Or they could change their mind.

Just on TV here in Florida yesterday about the new project proposed to the port of Miami by Royal and the dredging of the terminals to accommodate the larger ships. Who Knows?

I know I'm probably in the minority but I wish they'd build more of the smaller ships. When I'm on a cruise, I want to feel like I'm on a cruise. I've heard the ads for the mega ships say "you won't even feel like you're on a ship".

 

From a financial standpoint, I understand why RCI continues to build them. Maybe one day I'll give one a try.

Just when you thought the ship names could not get worse.

 

RC outdoes themselves once again......

Can't wait to sail on her for the transatlantic! :D

[Robo1098]

If it does sail out of Miami I hope they add some better ports.

I went on Harmony in December and was not sure how I would feel about a mega ship. But I actually found I liked it a lot. I was able to find more places of quiet to read and relax than on the smaller ships. That really surprised me!

 

Now I cannot wait to see the Symphony sailings as I am hoping to book the Inaugural sailing.

Any idea what's expected to different about it from other Oasis class? Will it have slides like Harmony?

No info from the cruise line yet, but I would bet on the slides.

I would assume that the Symphony will sail the Mediterranean for the summer

Of 2018.

Anyone know roughly when the transatlantics are usually for the new ships to cross the pond

After doing the TA on Harmony - I will be booking Symphony.

And a few other trips. Australia is a long commute.

And also good looking. Radiance Class are BEAUTIFUL ships, and still look modern after 15 years on service. They should order more like those.

Or even Autumn :D

Same here. We went on Oasis in December, and we're pleasantly surprised by how much we liked it. We found that we spent most of our time in only two or three of the neighborhoods, so the size of the rest of the ship really didn't matter. My only major complaint is that the Viking Crown is now off limits to non-suite/non-Pinnacle passengers.

Loved your reviews of Navigator and Harmony. After reading your Navigator review and wonderful pictures I added that itinerary to my bucket list. Thanks for sharing.

Looking forward to this ship. The song

(Royal Philharmonic Orchestra) seems quite lively and fitting.

I was on the Harmony for 3 weeks and missed the Diamond Club on deck 11 as it is on the Oasis and Allure. I hope the Diamond Club on the Symphony will have windows and not be on deck 4 like the Harmony.
