What an ‘OASIS’… of the Seas

Nov 22, 2009 – You know, we have been hearing about this new ship coming out… the largest cruise ship ever built, well it is GINORMOUS!

oasis of the seas

As we arrived at the pier, there were ooo’s and aaaah’s from everyone on the bus. Look how big it is next to that ship, oh it is beautiful, and on and on.

We were all wondering how embarkation would go, considering the amount of passengers for this monster, but the Port of FLL has built a wonderful new terminal and the embarkation was almost seamless. No pictures to share as of course they do not allow photos in the terminal or near the security areas. But there were many buses arriving at the same time and it took less than 30 minutes to get onboard.

Once onboard we took our things to our stateroom, which was an ocean view family stateroom with a balcony. Very nice room, with that still ‘new’ smell :)

Then we grabbed the camera and were off to explore. We had a list of cabins in many different categories that were open or inspection:

12175 Standard Inside Stateroom

P1000268

12577 – Central Park View

9244 Royal Family Suite

11640 Owners Suite

1740 Royal Loft Suite

and my favorite… 9730 Aqua Theater Suite

P1000314P1000318

After seeing the staterooms, we walked around the other 17 decks, looking at the 7 neighborhoods, 34 restaurants and bars, the 6 pools, solarium, and the spa & fitness center.
