You have probably seen or heard on the news about the new megaships. They are big and to some, they are too big, both in size and price. But Royal Caribbean‘s Oasis of the Seas is a megaship not to be missed. With her first maiden voyage in December of 2009, this large ship can… Read More
Blue Lagoon As more people consider cruising, I often recommend the short 3- and 4-day Royal Caribbean Bahamas cruise as an option to anyone considering a cruise.
