Florida ?

August 5, 2009

My husband wants us to take a cruise. Neither of us has ever done this, but we seem to have enough money and enough vacation time saved up so that we may be able to do it. The boat/ship he wants to begin with is called the Oasis of the Seas. It is currently under construction, and will be 40% bigger than the biggest cruise ship afloat today. Sounds like it will be amazing, and I am looking forward to it. Maybe my other "forward" goal will be finished at the same time as the boat... wouldn't THAT be amazing... Update!! We have successfully contracted for a cabin on the 14th deck of the Oasis of the Seas, due to depart for its 'maiden' voyage on December 5, 2009. We have a balcony, not on the "ocean view" side of the boat, which would have been optimum, but on the "inside view" of the ship, overlooking the boardwalk, central park, and other "main attractions". There are seven neighborhoods, all mimicking an attraction or tourist venue on land. We have also opted already for the "my time dining" which means we can choose our meal times whenever we wish instead of being scheduled into the same dining hour every day. Sounds great to me.
