This was my families first cruise ever. We selected the Oasis of the seas because we had heard from other friends that this was the best ship to go on if you are afraid of sea sickness. While my group was lucky enough not to suffer from this, I want to put out there that while I read other reviews state that you can not feel the motion of the ship....that is wrong! You can definitely feel it moving. While we did have some rather windy days at sea, even calm waters you know it's moving. I took dranamine every day not knowing what the sea was going to be like. Having now sailed the largest ship in the world, I don't think I will be going on any other ship or cruise line because Royal Caribbean made it impossible for the experience to be any better! From beginning to end they made the trip so easy and care free.
Starting with Embarking:
So easy!! There are signs telling you exactly where to go, the lines were supper short, and they keep the crowd moving. We arrived at the ship around noon thinking it might be too early to board, but there were plenty of people already there boarding. We kind of worried about leaving our suitcases outside on the street with only 2 guys watching them, but they arrived at our staterooms a couple hours later.
