Oasis of the Seas (Reconstructed Post)

Oasis of the Seas, June 10 - 17, 2018

Well, technology is grand when it works; however, when an entire post is lost, the author is bummed!
Luckily, it was an incredible cruise, so the reconstruction will be less painful.

Saturday - June 9, 2018 We caravanned to Port Canaveral from various locations:  Ari and Robert drove from Acworth to Port Canaveral, Rich and Connor flew in from Phoenix via Orlando where Rob, David, Lily, and I were staying after our road trip, and Dan/Christine drove in during the early morning hours after watching her daughter's dance recital.

Sunday - June 10, 2018 - We met at the Royal Caribbean port to process in.  Everyone was quite grateful for our Diamond Status as we never waited in line!  Everyone settled in their staterooms, all located on the sixth floor, then quickly headed off to lunch.  Afterwards, we headed to the pool for fun in the sun.
Dinner was awesome at our table for ten!


Monday - June 11, 2018 - We docked in Nassau and quickly headed out to our excursion - Atlantis!  Everyone had an incredible time - Lily, David, Dan, and Christine rode the horrifying "Leap of Faith" while the rest of the crowd rode less daring rides.
 I spent my time reading at the relaxing pool.
Back on the ship, we had our first formal night, then dashed off to catch some of the Broadway musical, "Cats" before retiring after a great day.


Tuesday - June 12, 2018 - Day at Sea means sleeping in, breakfast, kids at the Adventure Club, gym, walking the lovely track, Diamond Club, and one absolutely stunning Aqua Show!

Wednesday - June 13, 2018 - St Thomas - Before we docked the kids enjoyed the Adventure Club while the rest of the gang went shopping.  Christine ran into her boss at one of the shops - small world.  During the afternoon, we went on an excursion kayaking, hiking, and snorkeling where we saw amazing sights.





  After another delicious dinner, we attended the show, Headliner.

Thursday - June 14, 2018 - St Maarten - We spent a couple of hours shopping (thanks, Rob, for the beautiful new Yurman necklace) and Lily had her hair braided.

  Back aboard, the kids visited the Adventure Club, then had ice cream by the pool.  Our new routine is Lana gets a break at the Diamond Club before dinner, we all enjoy dinner together, and the kids go to the Adventure Club until 10:00.

Friday - June 15, 2018 - Day at Sea - Another glorious, relaxing day. After breakfast, Rob and I enjoyed cappuccinos at the Diamond Club, then I spent quite a long time on our balcony watching the world go by while the kids were at the Adventure Club. One of our favorite spots is Sorrento's for great pizza.  A daily must is pool time with multiple ice creams for David and Lily.

Saturday - June 16, 2018 - Love these days at sea.  We played miniature golf and ping pong for a LONG time.  Unfortunately, some of our time today had to be devoted to packing for the return home.  Boo-hiss! Before dinner, Robert Hicks, David, Lily, and I enjoyed the Dream Works Parade.

  We celebrated Ari's birthday at dinner with all the servers singing, as well as a beautiful cake.
 David was the hit of the evening with his dancing!

Sunday - June 17, 2017 - Happy Father's Day!
 Everyone went their separate ways as we traveled back home safely to end our beautiful vacation.  Until next cruise.
