A Pop-Up Holiday Market at Sea?!

[Kendall James-Vargas]

RCL is so on trend! I was shocked to find out about the line offering a holiday marketplace onboard Oasis of the Seas. I have been to so many holiday markets this year, including pop-up shops that are so fun to shop! This is such an ingenious idea to spread the holiday cheer with cruise guests this year, making the holidays just that much sweeter. I would not be surprised if this is the beginning of a new trend on the horizon. Christmas at sea comes with a slew of perks. The idea of making the holiday season at sea even more magical is so brilliant. I expect many cruise ships and lines to catch on to this and implement holiday marketplaces on their 2024 Christmas itineraries. Do you think RCL's competitors will replicate this idea in 2024?

Holiday Markets are sea is a brilliant idea. I expect to see more of these on this year's Christmas cruises. I honestly don't know why it took so long for cruise lines to capitalize on the season of giving onboard. This is a great money-making strategy, and I do think more cruise lines will catch on. It's time cruise lines stay on trend with these things. It's even more fun that RCL chose to make it a pop-up! If anything at all, CCL will totally replicate this in 2024.
