On Oasis go all the way forward to solarium and get in one of the big 360 degree loungers. They look out over front of ship. Best view on board and best napping, reading or chill to [emoji443] spot on the ship. Got to get there early though to get one before they're all taken.

@carolsic I love corner aft rooms. Have Jr suit aft booked on Liberty of the sea December 2016. You have to book 2yrs out to get an aft. They are well worth it though. Best view $ can buy.

Lol. I'm not going to be of much help. Never been to Turks or St. Kitt. I'm booked to go to San Juan on trip next year...... BUT I just got back from St. Maarten recently. We did Maho beach at airport. Depending on the age of your kids would depend on whether this would be a good visit for them. Both my husband and I had seen pictures of the planes coming into the airport extremely low right over your head. Very cool.... However when the planes take off they blast you with sand

This was not near as cool as watching them come in. The sand blasted you extremely hard to the point I was in tears and it seems to go on forever and ever and ever before the plane actually takes off. There is a nice restaurant and beach area with chairs and umbrellas nearby to watch the planes land but they charge you to sit in that area. I'm cheap and won't pay 20 bucks ahead to sit in a chair. Been there done that won't ever go back and do that again. I have attached two photos of the after affects of Maho beach.

I did however hear several people rave about Orient Beach in Saint Maarten. Research it though if I'm not mistaken parts of this beach is a nude beach. Other parts were described as being beautiful and a good beach to go visit with family.

Enjoy your vacation.

P.S. Are you familiar with an app called "shipmate"? Check it out it is a good forum for information on packing, various ports, and information on cruising in general.

1. We have never cruised in the month of February. March is the month we normally cruise in. It has always been warm weather during the day. As always with the wind factor and the air conditioning on board I have a sweater or shawl on hand most evenings. Much sun and fun during the day as long as it's not storming.

2. I'm not sure on priority check-in aboard Carnival. I can tell you how royal caribbean handles priority. We usually arrive at the terminal and as you enter lines you will see normal lines and priority lines. Priority is always a shorter line but it lands you in the regular line to actually board the ship. Nothing special unless you are a higher level of Carnivals rewards program. Check on Carnival's website and if they have a rewards program sign up for it prior to leaving on your trip. It will get you extra coupons and extra perks during your trip. Each time you cruise your level of reward offers increase. Keep in mind this is how royal caribbean handles priority. Research...... Before going

3. I have always checked in online at home prior to the departure. I print my own luggage tags, laminate them, and have them on my bags prior to flying to Florida. You may not want to do that because of your Disney trip prior to the cruise. Just have them on hand in your travel Brooklet.

4. Luggage arrival is anybody's guess. Just plan on taking your swimsuit, cover-up, sun lotions, medications, and possibly a change of clothing for dinner in your carry-on. On more than one of our trips are luggage did not arrive until after dinner. You will more than likely will have access to your room long before your luggage arrives.

5. I have not left out of Port Canaveral therefore I'm not much good at suggesting things close by to do. You may want to check on a late departure from the ship that might help fill some of your time.

6. Let me know which islands your stops are at. We just returned from an eastern Caribbean trip 2 months ago. I may be of some help depending on which ones you're stopping at.

Hello aamiza. Welcome to the cruising life. I'm assuming the sunshine is a carnival cruise ship. We normally cruise royal caribbean however we have cruised carnival in the past. Which islands are you stopping at during your February trip?

We just were on Oasis recently also. Thoroughly enjoying the scrapbook of your recent trip. Keep the memories coming. One thing I did miss while onboard the "O" was we never got on the rising tide bar. [emoji22] it was always full when we wanted to experience it. I'm using it as my reason to re-book the Oasis.

Let me join in on wet suit trauma. Last month while at Maho Beach in St. Marten we watched planes come in and out. Here is a pic of results from commercial plane taking off.

.

Sand blasted by plane taking off. I had sand in places on my body even I have never ventured before. Wet suit + sand in every crevice of you body makes for a big O'l pile of sand for our room Stewart to clean up.

Been there done that..... Never again!!!!

We did Maho beach and watch the planes come in just over our head. Been there done that and won't do it again.
