      I don't think I'd like the mega ships. When I cruise I enjoy the peace and serenity.

      I have been on every Oasis class ship. A couple of them twice. What I like is the entertainment such as the ice skating, aqua theater show and the broadway shows. I also like all there is to do in the evening with the different venues with music ranging from Latin to rock. I never feel the ship is crowded as RC does a good job of spreading the crowds.

      We love the wide breath of entertainment and food venues. What we don’t like is the inward focus of these ships but that is improving with every new Oasis class

Im a frugal guy by nature and even I can see the overalll value that cruising offers. I am very loyal to Royal but I believe all cruiselines offer the experience of a lifetime.

Have to say,, I could have eaten the buffet food the entire cruise it was so good. And yours on embarkation day looked amazing! Interestingly we had a few disappointing specialty experiences. I love Royal and I love Carnival. Each providing something a tad different! Will be interesting to see what Mike thinks by week's end! Can't wait to follow along!
