The Original Panama Jack

Thank you for sharing your input! My kids and I will be going on the Oasis at the end of July for our first ever cruise. :) I've been enjoying seeing more posts from people regarding their experiences. Some of the previous posts had me concerned I had chosen wrong. :confused:

I was on Oasis in 2015 and booked it again for 2019. Had a great experience previous and that is why I booked again. Wonderful ship and love the amenities that a large ship offers.

You will have an awesome time!!!!

This is for 2018, btw.

My wife and I took our two youngest boys on a cruise in 2015. We want to take our oldest son and his wife on one in 2018 (possibly coordinating with other family). We live in Michigan and I want to book RCCL if at all possible. My wife and I will be paying for the cruise, flights, etc. for 4, so savings on one multiply to savings on 4.

My cost concerns are:

1. Getting the cheapest flight cost to FL.

2. Booking ideally from Port Canaveral first, Tampa second and FT Lauderdale/Miami third (family in FL don't want to drive to FT L/Miami)

3. Most likely booking for a cruise leaving March 3/4 of 2018.

Any wisdom would be appreciated.

On Holland American you are allowed one bottle per person. Apparently there is an $18.00 corkage fee. They do check the stuff that is brought on board at every port.

RCCL allows 2 bottles of wine per person to be brought on board. No corkage fees.
