Cruise On The Boardwalk

Hello ~
How are things? Hope all is well with you.
*WARNING - HEAVY PICTURE POST*
This post is yet another in a series of cruise pictures.  Spending 13 days on the ship I took a HUGE amount of pictures, which I shall spam you with. (Is ok, your welcome, lol.). The Oasis of the Sea was such an awesome ship with so many different features that is was easy to forget you were on a boat. We were spoiled for things to do everyday.

 This series was taken along the Boardwalk area. To read more about our adventures on this lovely ship click here  and the stops we made in Spain click here and here for more Malaga pictures.

Smooth water at sea, are we really on a ship?

Did I tell you the sea was so calm? it was if we  were just gliding through the water, no movement at all. I confess to being a bit worried about it. Aug and September are the most active hurricane months in the Atlantic for the US. I booked this cruise at the start of the year,  and inquired what would happen if there was a hurricane at the time of sailing. They told me the ship would just sail around the storm. The atlantic is huge, after all. 
Gulp, ok.
But thankfully no storms.

Ship or hotel?

During one of our forays on the 1st day on board we got off the lift on the wrong floor and attempted to go into what we thought was our state room. As we tried the key card over and over the people who were actually in that room came out. As I realized we were on the wrong floor I was so embarrassed, but the attendant for the floor, who was walking by,  just laughed and said it happens all the time. Day 9 and the people 1 floor below us tried to do the same thing with us, lol. I guess he was right.  Too funny!

Now where am I again?

Ever changing view from the balcony.

Thats the Boardwalk down there.

View of the Boardwalk from our balcony. :D

Enough of that, lets go down there.

Shops, cafes and rides.

As you first enter the Boardwalk area you are met with a set of carousel horses. Each is in a different stage of being carved from solid chunks of wood.

Amazing, right? I think they are so pretty.

And of course there is a good size carousel. It goes until 11:00 pm each night and it is free to ride as much as you like. Because of the date of this cruise, (Sept 1-13), there were very few children on board. So mostly adults were riding. 

Did you see the movie BIG?

There were in prompt to singing waiters, too!

This is also where the Aqua Theater is located. There were movies shown nightly and also live performances. The most amazing act was the high diving. See they can fill the theater/stage  area with water! Quite a cool show! Also there are dancing water fountains that shoot water to music themed performances- watched that more than a few times, pictures did not come out well, but trust me it was cool.

And beside it was the rock climbing wall.

Yep, this still a ship.

And another bar with friendly staff.

Pretty at night too.

There were a couple of clothing stores, sorry I forgot I had a camera and a candy shop. I think more? I become too busy looking around and end up forgetting the camera.

And more stuff.

Johnny Rockets~

Donut shop.

Seafood place.

This ship has so many balconies! They are lining both sides of the Boardwalk.

From one end to the other.

And whats behind the Aqua?

Shuffle Board and

Still so smooth and calm. Do you know where we are now?

The very back of the boat.

And another awesome sunsets at sea.

We really, really enjoyed the entire cruise. It was relaxing, smooth and there was plenty to do. Oh and the food! Did I mention the food was amazing? There was so much fruit!  Plus lots of healthy choices for everyone. I had no problem eating healthy everyday. 


If you get a chance don't hesitate to book on Oasis of the Sea, you will be so happy you did. I am looking forward to out next cruise already! 


Catch you later-
