Had wanted to cruise for a long time, but had to talk my husband round. Finally last November after receiving a email about an offer i got my wish, and my husband actually was looking forward to it. We flew out to Miami, stayed overnight in a Lovely Hilton hotel and next morning were picked up to join the Oasis Of the Seas. What a ship to go on for a first cruise...... From the first time we stepped onto the ship i knew this wouldnt be our last cruise!!! And after a hour or so my husband was talking about "Next years cruise".. RESULT!!! Cannot fault this ship, loved everything about it the most amazing experience ive had. Have booked Independance this year and looking forward to it as we live in Southampton thought we would try a cruise from here, will def go back to Caribbean again though, friends of ours are coming with us and they are first time cruisers so hope they enjoy it as much as we did!!!!!! Dont think we will do anything else now but cruise.
