Arizona Travel Agent
This week we posted on our main www.familytravelgurus.com website and facebook page a slide show of our Oasis of the Seas cruise. We were on a special travel agent cruise; Royal Caribbean invited us and we were excited to be one of the first to experience this wonderful ship! (the largest cruise ship in the World). We have some readers who only see our blog so we are including a copy of the video below:

The biggest and best yet! We were in the first group of travel agents to sail on Royal Caribbean’s huge new ship, the Oasis of the Seas, for a special 2 night travel agent cruise November 20-21, 2009. We were very impressed with the Oasis and give a report of our impressions below.

The new ships keep coming! Holland America floating out of its newest vessel, the “Nieuw Amsterdam” at a shipyard in Italy last week. From this video simulation this ship looks great! She will first sail in the summer of 2010.
You can get a great view of the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the rooftop deck of the new Bay Lake Tower. Disney shows this in the following video. Bay Lake Tower is a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) resort but it is also available to non-DVC members. Contact us if you’d like a price quote for Bay Lake Towers for your next Disney World stay.
Here’s a cool video from Royal Caribbean about their new Oasis of the Seas, the largest cruise ship afloat, barely making it under a bridge on her maiden voyage.
“The Hotel Marina El Cid was beautiful and the people there bent over backwards to make sure our trip was everything we wanted. My daughter Haleigh fell in love with the whole staff that ran the kids club, she never wanted to leave.”
