Royal Caribbean's Tracking System for Children
Keep track of your children on the Oasis of the Seas! No, not by following them around. The muster station wristbands that all young children on cruise ships must wear will be enhanced with an electronic device that will allow their parents to track them in real time as they wander the ship; an industry first. Guests can also rent Royal Connect phones for $17.50 which can be used to track their children, call and text other passengers who have Royal Connect phones and call cabins.

‘World Yacht’ Cruise around Manhattan, New York
We sailed from W 41 St down the Hudson River toward Battery Park, Staten Island Ferries around South Street Seaport, made a turn going up the East River passing the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge & Williamsburg Bridge, headed to the Statue of Liberty (up close) and back to W 41 St. on the West Side. The New York skyscraper was breathtaking. As the sun set and the sky became dark with buildings lighting up, the view was magnificent!
