We were excited about our next cruise. My sister and her husband would be joining us and two of my sisters girlfriends were coming too. Family time combined with cruising – what could be better! This cruise was on Royal Caribbeans Oasis of the Seas for a 7-night Eastern Caribbean trip. We would visit St Maarten, San Juan PR, and spend a day on Labadee, Royal Caribbeans private beach.

The ship was leaving from Cape Canaveral. We drove down a day early and spent a day at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Area and watched the manatees at Manatee Park.

Boarding the Oasis was thrilling. The ship was HUGE! We were amazed at all it had to offer. The Aqua theater was fabulous, Central Park was beyond description. We knew this would be a trip we would remember for a long time.
