We've been off a cruise ship since mid-September, which for us in recent years is quite a while. This Sunday it's back on board, but this time there are a few things that will be different.
First of all, we'll be cruising the Caribbean. Although Caribbean cruises are quite popular from Florida, we haven't actually done a "Caribbean cruise" in a number of years.
Secondly, we're going to be on a "mega ship". We'll be on Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas. A few years back it was the largest cruise ship in the world. It is now listed as the seventh largest. Interestingly, the six ships larger than the Oasis of the Seas are also Royal Caribbean ships. The Icon and Star of the Seas are currently tied for the largest.
We usually prefer the smaller to mid-size ships. Last year we were on Holland America's Volendam which is about one quarter the size of the Oasis of the Sea's. I hope we don't get lost!
It'll be fun to experience something different while still enjoying something similar. I'll give a full review when we return.
