Review summary

It was the best vacation! We could not have asked for a better first cruise. We are now hooked on cruising. From the minute we checked in at the port to disembarkation the staff so super friendly and we felt like family. Our Main dinning room servers were top notch. They would see us walk in and would have our drinks at the table waiting for us. The Food was AMAZING better then we expected it to be. Our room attendant Anna Marie was wonderful as well. I loved the towel animals at night. She was so friendly and when we saw her she would always say hi and ask how our cruise was going. Like I said before ALL the staff was friendly and were always saying hi. As for our ports of call we went to Nassau, Bahamas, Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas and Pilipsburg, St. Marrten. We scheduled all our excursions though the ship for Nassau we scheduled the Turtle Yatch snorkel but they ended up canceling it due to to much wind/unsafe conditions. We decided to just walk around the town for a little while. I wasn't too impressed. People were pretty rude. We maybe spent about 2 hours in town and got back on the ship and hung out in the Solarium. In St. Thomas Erin the Jewelry Expert from the ship took us into town to go shopping. We then went to Maghen's Bay. The drive and the beach was beautiful. You could still see some of the hurricane damage left over from Irma and Maria. It was so sad but the people were getting back on their feet and happy to have tourists back. St. Maarten we did the Great Bay Beach excursion. That was a nice beach the water taxi takes you over and you get free wifi and chairs with umbrella included. You can take the water taxi all day with this one. We also walked around the town and went to the Yoda guy museum. If your a Starwars fan this is a must. Nick Maley was there on the day we visited and it was neat to meet him and get his autograph. We will be back on the Oasis soon and bringing our children. Thank you Royal Caribbean for a wonderful vacation.

Got Two prints from Nick Manley 10 years ago. One was for our 35th Anniversary, which he signed and wrote a note to us. Muse of a Mermaids KISS,was the name of the painting. Fantastic guy.
