Yesterday was momentous day in the world of cruising as Royal Caribbean had Oasis of the Seas delivered into their hands to start 12 days of pre cruise festivities involving dignitaries from the travel world.
Oasis of the Seas is the largest cruise ship ever made and at 220,000 she is about 5 times the size of Titanic (in terms of weight). Oasis of the Seas will start her real cruising life with a series of Caribbean cruises from her new home port in Fort Lauderdale.

Due to many factors the cruise news section has been somewhat neglected, however this is now being fixed and over the course of the week all the missing news from 2009 will be included within the news section. There will be a few other changes as we try and bring Cruisegle up to scratch. There are still a lot of cruise lines pages needing work along with cruise ship pages.
The home page which has been set up for cheap cruises will also be changed to look more like that of other cruise agents websites. The main reason for these changes is to try and give a complete cruise website with full cruise search ability and a great knowledge base for both current and new cruisers.

There was a cruise ship accident in Cozumel, Mexico yesterday as two cruise ships collided, luckily no injuries have been reported. Carnival Legend had been released from her moorings and drifted in very strong winds into the Royal Caribbean cruise ship Enchantment of the Seas. Both ships received some slight damage, however this was not enough to stop their current cruises.
The ships are half way through their Caribbean cruise itineraries before the accident and both Carnival Cruises and Royal Caribbean have yet to announce if future cruises on these two ships will be interrupted.
