Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean is adding a third ship in August 2026 to its kosher dining program.

The Oasis has two main advantages. First of all, its departure port is on the east coast, so you can fly into New York, a destination that is much more accessible for the international community.

For those looking for mega ships and a specific focus on families with the wide variety of facilities and attractions, there aren't many better ships out there.

The cost of participating in the kosher dining program is admittedly not cheap, $120 per person per day.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book early to secure a spot in the kosher dining program, as seats fill up quickly.
Consider the Oasis of the Seas for its east coast departure port and family-friendly amenities.

YouTube Video Description

Royal Caribbean has added two additional dates, on a third ship, to its Kosher meal program, in August 2026. The new ship chosen is the Oasis of the Seas and the departure port for these cruises is Cape Liberty, New Jersey, the cruise port of New York City. So these cruises have two key advantages over the cruises we've already seen this year that feature Royal Caribbean's Kosher Meal Plan: the ship's category and location. I explain this, and share other important details to help you decide which kosher cruise to choose, in this video.
