So, we're going on a cruise!

Nothing new, but always exciting as it was our first cruise ever. What happens the months, weeks and days before? Months of excursion and port planning. Weeks of, "what am I going to wear?" (Okay I fess up, months of thinking about what will I pack and be wearing.) And, then days. D a y s. You're only days away and wondering if you have forgotten anything? It's pretty impossible since on this cruise we can drive to the port (okay we;re being driven to the port) and we can pack non-essentials. This time I told the tailor I was leaving two days earlier than we were. This time we're a few days away without a last minute "to-do". The last thing on my mind is, Do I blog this time or not while cruising?

What about my bed on Royal Caribbean?

Regarding Royal Caribbean....Update: Update: All beds will be "together" when you board. If you need them separate because you are traveling with a child, sibling, friend, you need to request your stateroom attendant to take them apart when you board. This is fleetwide.

Vintages also saw the Royal Treatment! 

Vintages on Liberty is modeled after Vintages on Oasis bringing the same decor and level of excitement with the added wine tasting table, and ever popular Wine dispensing technology.  These new machines offer passengers a great new way to have their own "wine tastings". The dispenser offers 1, 3, or 5 ounces of wine! Create your own wine tastings with friends! 

Popular for so many passengers is the added pool deck Movie screen! Don't miss your favorite sporting events while at sea. No worries, watch them while out at sea!

Are you ready for a fourth Oasis Class Ship folks?

Our Oasis of the Seas experience was wonderful. It was a Graduation Cruise and the ship was picked by the High School Graduate! Being partial to smaller ships, I was not as intrigued as my kids were. I will say that every cruise is a wonderful cruise and Oasis of the Seas did not disappoint! This was a first for My Time Dining and although it seemed disorganized the first evening, every evening thereafter was a delight, as was the food. We enjoyed the specialty restaurants even more. The shows were awesome and I am so glad we prebooked and saw them. About pre booking your shows, this is also not my "style", but missing them would have been a travesty! :) So folks, pre book your shows when you need to. Our ocean view balcony cabin was mid ship, our kids loved their Central Park view balcony. There is something for everyone, including a Cupcake Cupboard! A little ship where when in cupcake-need it is worth a quick stop and $2.50. You can also take a cupcake decorating class! Dont miss the zip line and flow rider and if you want to leave the rash guard behind but take a different kind of ride, have a cocktail on Rising Tide- a levitating bar! Oh, I can go on and on, but I think you should find out for yourself how great a Royal Caribbean Cruise is for yourself! Cheers, Stacey, CruiseDivaNJ
