Wonder of the Seas in the Bahamas: A Big-Ship Caribbean Done Right

Seven nights from Port Canaveral to Nassau, Perfect Day at CocoCay, and Cozumel aboard Royal's Oasis-class workhorse. Less new than Icon, no less impressive, and arguably the better value.

Royal Caribbean Symphony of the Seas: The Oasis Class at Its Most Polished
