Amplified sister ship Oasis will return to the Big Apple, offering seven-night cruise vacations to Florida and The Bahamas from Cape Liberty in Bayonne, New Jersey and with almost every sailing visiting Perfect Day at CocoCay.

Also a first, Mariner will introduce sailings from Florida to Bermuda. These eight-night sailings will include two days in Kings Wharf, before sailing to The Bahamas for a late-night stay in Nassau and Perfect Day at CocoCay. The amped-up Mariner of the Seas will also offer eight-night cruises from Port Canaveral, Florida to Aruba, Curacao and St. Croix, as well as the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Perfect Day at CocoCay.
