CEO and Chairman Richard Fain on the Flowrider on Oasis of the Seas

We have just returned from our two day tour on Oasis of the Seas. Instead of a normal review, We thought we would share some secrets we discovered on this cruise. Honestly it is hard to give an honest review on what is essentially a preview, a shakedown cruise. With the various charge dining areas open for free and free drinks, it is hard to tell what flow patterns will be like. Offer something up free and THEY WILL COME!

Here just a few photos from Oasis of the Seas. The powers that be have decided that we cannot stowaway for another cruise and are making Laura and get off the ship. We will have much more details about this ship as you cruise along with us. Royal Caribbean really has set the bar high in the cruise world.

Enjoy our photos and come back here as we share our memories of our short cruise. Imagine holding your wedding or vow renewal ceremony aboard Oasis of the Seas.

It is Midnight on the Oasis of the Seas

It is Midnight on the Oasis of the Seas and the party on board is just getting started. We have been going since before 5AM this morning to get showered for our flight and as Cruise Director Ken Rush told us, we can sleep when we get home.

We have toured staterooms in a variety of categories from the luxurious Royal Loft Suite to the more modest Family Ocean View staterooms. I am sitting typing this in my ocean view balcony stateroom next to the door which is open. I can hear the gentle lapping of the ocean waves against the ship. What a way to fall asleep, but not yet.

On our way to Fort Lauderdale

without comments

I am posting this entry at about 37,000 feet. Delta is offering free inflight Wireless courtesy of eBay and I am taking advantage of it. We are on our way to Fort Lauderdale for our cruise on Oasis of the Seas. The last time we did a cruise from Fort Lauderdale, we sailed on Celebrity Solstice. As we came in for a landing at the FLL airport, we flew just in front of that ship. I am hoping that we will take the same approach this morning. If we do, believe me our cameras will be ready.
