Oasis of the Seas Review

Additional details
Every Christmas we take a trip somewhere nice, after staying at some of the nicest resorts in the Caribbean and Hawaii, I caught a special on Fox News about the Oasis of the Seas and decided to book the December 19 Christmas cruise. (I am so glad we did).
My review is as follows:
We arrived in Ft Lauderdale at 10:00am on Spirit Airlines, the first thing I noticed was that RC had the shuttle service available at that terminal even though it did not mention it on their website which is where we booked the cruise. We decided to take a taxi to the ship it cost $20 with tip the RC shuttle would have been $30. We were there 30 minutes quicker than the shuttle anyway. The check-in was smooth as silk, we were taken upstairs and expected that we were going to have to wait for a while, nope, we were allowed to board at 11:00am. After you walk up the gangway you enter the Promenade, first impression was WOW what an incredibly beautiful ship. Kinda like walking into a mall. We were not allowed into our cabin until 1:00pm so we did some exploring of the upper decks. The solarium was going to be home for us while cruising.
Cabin Review
Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Large Balcony
We stayed in Cabin 8596 D1 category on the same deck as Central Park on the hump. When we arrived at our cabin our luggage was already there and our steward Lobo greeted us and filled us in on the cabin. Cabin was small by resort standards yet very comfortable, bed was great. If I had to book again I would go down a class as you don't really need that much deck anyway. Shower was tight but always hot, storage was just adequate for 2, safe was small but fine for a full sized camera and valuables. HDTV was great, full account review and your itinerary was available as well.
