Our first cruise in the 80's was on Sovereign, she was brand new and the largest ship on the ocean! Great time but decided cruising wasn't for us. We were scuba divers at the time so between that gear and formal clothes ( a must back then) it was not for us. Fast forward about 20 yrs, went to Alaska on a cruise, loved it. Since then it's only cruising for us! Never a problem with any ship, all different which we we like. Finally doing an Oasis class in May, so can't wait. We have been leaving from NJ for many yrs now, living in Ct, very convenient and no flying!
