We chose this cruise for our wedding, which will be posted on another thread, because we are both retired Navy and have friends all over. Royal was outstanding and the Oasis is a beautiful ship with a fantastic crew. I would go back and do it all over again, except for a couple of the shore excursions, but they will also have reviews!
We drove down to Port Canaveral for the cruise, and used Lots of Honor for our off-site parking. They were great - inexpensive, with shuttle service to and from the port! The operation is owned by veterans and gives a portion of every dollar earned to veterans' charities!
Embarkation was easy, and walking on to the Royal Promenade was amazing! We went straight to the Park Café for a quiet lunch of roast beef sandwiches, which were wonderful. The all clear had been given just before we got on board, so after our lunch, we headed to our staterooms.
AWESOME!!! This cabin is located at the beginning of the hump, so we had the extended balcony with two loungers instead of one. There was plenty of room for our guests to come meet and mingle on embarkation day! Sal was fantastic, and took care of our every desire immediately!
Port Canaveral was decent... a little warm in the security line, but not bad.
