Thank you all for your input...I truly appreciate the details provided.  Actually really glad to hear the Oasis "doesn't feel as large as it is" and with all the extras the Oasis class has it may be a perfect ship for a group.  Again, your insight is invaluable!

Which ships are these two?  I see the benefits in both but crowds are also something I try to avoid.  Besides the obvious benefits of the larger ships are the crowds completely obnoxious?

I appreciate all your viewpoints...it definitely helps!

Thank you!

Hello Cruisers...

I am putting together a group cruise for my family and friends for June/July 2021 (I know it's early to plan but that's my "thing").  Our group is approximately 40 people.  I haven't cruised on a mega ship and to be honest I'm not sure that a mega ship is what we are looking for.  I haven't cruised with Royal for about 7 years so I'm getting caught up on all the changes that have taken place.  What I'm hoping to learn is if a Mega-Ship with all the bells and whistles is something we need to consider.  Our group is diverse in ages and while the mega ships have so much to offer I wonder if it may be too much.  Our travel agent has suggested Liberty of the Seas as a nice compromise.  Am I missing the boat on trying the larger ships?  Will the group be more satisfied with more activity/dining options.  I hate to spend other peoples money and deliver a less than stellar experience and I'm always trying to maximize my vacation dollars.

Your insight is appreciated and I thank you for any advice you can provide.

Thanks for your help...found it :)

Can someone let me know what website I need to start on? I went to the AARP site and clicked on "Gift Cards" and registered but I can't find anything pointing to redeem or "rewards for good".

Thank you!

WOW! Port Royal your suggestions look amazing!

It's almost impossible to choose but I'm leaning towards The Tides because it looks a bit more intimate and cozy.

Thank you for your suggestions! :D

I have been a certified lurker since 2002 and this is my first official post :)

My husband and I will be on Celebrity Eclipse in December and the itinerary has an overnight and 2 full days scheduled for Barbados. We plan on celebrating our 2 milestone birthdays in port and would love your romantic, special occasion restaurant suggestions to mark the event.

Thank you!
