This
summer I took a cruise on the largest cruise ship in the world. The seven-day Eastern Caribbean voyage
left from Fort Lauderdale and stopped in the Bahamas, Saint Thomas, Saint John
and Saint Martin. My friends and I
began the trip by spending a few days in Fort Lauderdale. We stayed at the Hilton Marina
Hotel. We had a great ocean view
room with a large balcony overlooking the water. On Saturday we made our way to the port to board the Oasis
of the Seas.
The
embarkation process was very fast and well organized. We were on the ship about thirty minutes after arriving at
the port. The Oasis is one BIG,
beautiful ship! Words cannot
describe how I felt after boarding.
Our room was modern but compact.
It was our comfortable home for a week. I really enjoyed having an ocean-view balcony. The public areas on the ship were
beautiful! So many bars, pools,
lounges and places to eat, we had endless choices to make on the ship.
While
the ship itself was outstanding the service on this cruise was just
average. We had great crewmembers
serving us but they seemed to be both overworked and tired from dealing with
thousands of passengers. I believe that the ship is just too big and carries
too many people. We all love to
cruise but we will not cruise on a giant ship in the future.
Every
port on this cruise was a tropical paradise! We shopped in the Bahamas, snorkeled in St. John and lounged
on the beach in St. Martin.
Overall we had a restful and relaxing vacation in the beautiful Caribbean!
