We chose this cruise to go to the Eastern Caribbean. We have always wanted to visit the US VI. We celebrated our 20 year wedding anniversary. From the time we booked the trip with RC telephone staff to the time we exited the ship we felt like Royalty. The boat is huge and in the 7 days on it we did not see every inch. The shows, dining and activities were great!! There is something for everyone on this boat. It is very family friendly. It only took us a 5 hour drive to get to Port Canaveral. Our Embarkation went smoothly. I would probably get there a bit earlier next time. We arrived at 1230. It only took one hour to get through Customs and then onto the ship. Our room was ready once we arrived. The room was clean. A balcony is a must. The view was always amazing and getting fresh air anytime you wanted was a plus. The t.v. channels were good. Several different languages for all guests. The buffets were excellent. Something for everyone. We did an excursion at every port. Loved St Marten. Will definitely go back there. The staff onboard were always willing to help. I felt as if they all truly wanted our time to be special and memorable. I can't wait to again and take our 4 kids. This boat/cruise line definitely is a step above any other. The shows were amazing. CATS was playing. Very professional. Also the ice show and the Come Fly with me were great. I can see why this ship is named "Oasis of the Seas".... it truly is!!
