The Cunard ships really do look delicious - never been on one though - may be on one this summer to NY.

Just out of interest has anyone ever been on a cruise?

I've been on 4. They're really great and people need to break the stereotype of 'cruises are for old people' they're wonderful social places for teenagers as well - especially in school holidays

And Mathew - I'm assuming you mean the QM2 is a hotel in Dubai

Dilusionate - it's purpose is a cruise boat, many start in England (Southampton or Dover usually) and go back to the origin stopping in many places - often for only a day or 2 in each location. Cunard are one of the most prestigious cruise ship companies

Wikipedia is telling me both the ships are in Dubai so I don't know!

I do agree about the sterotype. Older generations believe that cruising is primarily for adults when I would now suggest they are for families more than anything.

We've been on the Disney Magic three times, the Disney Wonder twice and the Royal Caribbean Soverign of the Seas twice. The Disney ships have a bit of everything for everyone - they are truly the best ships afloat!
I really do enjoy going to the different ports of call and seeing how people live their lives. We've visited places in the Bahamas and the Caribbean, including Nassau, Cozumel, Grand Cayman, St. Thomas, St. Martin, etc. Nassau in particular is rather interesting, straw market (the poor community right next to the rich). Simply amazing.

I would really like to go for a cruise on the oasis of the seas with my family, my mum looked into it but she said it didn't look as if it went on cruises around the Caribbean which is what we wanted. Do you know anything more about it?

Oasis of the Seas? I'm jealous! Absolutely massive ship with great amenities on board.

According to the official Royal Caribbean site, it does indeed go to the Caribbean The Oasis of the Seas departs from Ft. Lauderdale in Florida and stops off at: St. Thomas, Cozumel (Mexico), Costa Maya (Mexico), Nassau, St. Martin, Haiti and Jamaica.

We've visited them all other than the final two, so if you decide to book and need more info, let me know

It's the shear size of it that got me interested in it in the first place. Then after watching the documentary on it being built I just knew that I had to go for a cruise on it.

When sailing back into Athens on a rather large ferry (had gone out exploring some random islands) we were lucky enough to see the Navigator of the Seas. Here are the pics we took, as you can see it towers above the city of Athens and compared to the Oasis of the Seas; it's tiny lol!

Might as well post pictures of the one we saw in St. Maarten. Just looked on the back of the ship and it's the Mariner of the Seas
The only Royal Caribbean we've been on is the Soverign of the Seas which is the smallest; much prefer Disney

I'd love to go on a cruise one day!

aha
those ships look like mighty things

[Cheryl]

I do want to go on the Oasis but my dad doesn't want to go on any bigger than the 3,000 odd we went on: Crown Princess and P&O Ventura - both wonderful ships - sisters as it happens.
We have also been on Royal Caribbean - Legend of the Seas and Norwegian Cruise Lines - Norwegian Dream.
Those two are fairly small less than 2,000 each I think.
Then way back I went on P&O Oreana
