Additional details
We flew Southwest to Fort Lauderdale one day prior to embarkation via Southwest, and stayed overnight. We prefer this when possible to allow for a more leisurely morning. My husband and I, and our adult children, the "kids" are in their 20's.
We had sailed on the Oasis in May, 2010, so our expectations were high.
We had a Boardwalk view balcony cabin. It had a phenomenal view of the Aqua Theater, and we ended up just watching the shows from our balcony. We also got to hear all the kid based activities and the noise from the Boardwalk. We were told there were over a thousand children on the ship, more than were usual, probably because of the Dreamworks tie in? Although we did like the concept, next time we will do a Central Park balcony, which we have been told were more quiet.
Cabin Review
Boardwalk View Stateroom with Balcony
Amazing view of Aqua Theater. Room was well appointed, balcony was a little small, but had table and chairs. Ample closet space, but sofa blocked part of the door (sliding doors) until we rearranged a little. Lots of little storage areas. Bathroom was very upscale, shower had sliding doors. Only problem (and it was minor) was that being at the end of the hallway we tended to get "made up" last. We also did not get to know our cabin attendant as well as on past cruises, since we were probably last on her list. Definitely would try to get one of these end cabins. To be able to watch the shows, and the perspective of the divers was awesome.
