Our embarkation and disembarkation experience for our trip with Oasis of the Seas from Port Canaveral was much smoother than from Fort Lauderdale.
The Oasis of the seas is a very classy and luxiurios cruise ship which, eventhough the large amount of passengers, still handles and treats them with great attention and detail.
Cabins are well attended by service minded attendants who remembers your name from day one.
St Maarten is a very interesting island, being half Dutch and half French.
The town of Philipsburg is filled with stores that sells mostly jewelry, alcohol and souvernirs, and their beach is incredibly beautiful and busy.
Interesting note: Too much vehicular traffic on such a small island.
