Grandpa and Grandson Enjoy A Cruise
Thanks for arranging my cruise on Oasis of the Seas. This was a wonderful trip for my grandson, Conner and me. The entertainment was great. Also embarkation and debarkation were the easiest of any cruise I have been on. Conner and I enjoyed dinner together, especially the formal nights. I appreciate that you set everything up, arranged for transportation to the ship, and made suggestions for us. This is the second “grandson cruise” you have set up for me. I appreciate your great communication and your follow up. Thanks again. – Ron Shuster from Colorado
