"We wanted to create a pass-through lounge where talent, media, and tastemakers can experience Caribbean culture through unique activations and product gifting in between their regular carnival activities. Carnival Oasis fills that void by allowing guests to stay for 10 minutes, 3 hours, or as long as they like." Said Jackie Clarke, Founder of The Well Connected.
