Cruising on Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas!

by Nadeen
February 10, 2015
A A

I am finally planning my next cruise so today for throwback Thursday I had thoughts of my last cruise in 2010. I can’t believe its been that long since I took a cruise because I love cruising!! Being on a cruise ship is like being on a luxury all inclusive resort at sea. You get the best of both worlds. All you can eat and drink for one price ( except alcohol) while sailing on crystal blue and turquoise waters around the world. However, the best part of cruising is that every morning you get to wake up to a new and beautiful location! My last cruise was on Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas. At the time I cruised this magnificent ship in 2010 it was the largest in the world! I won’t bore you with all the statistics of numbers of rooms or restaurants or pools but just know that it is massive and there is something for everyone! One of things I loved most about  Oasis of the Seas were the neighborhoods!! My two favorites were Central Park which was a quaint and relaxing duplicate of Central park in NYC and The Boardwalk with a working carousel and Johnny Rocket’s restaurant as well as an outdoor Aqua Theater. The activities were endless including Zumba classes, the Flowriders simulating surfing and Zip lining! I actually zip lined for the first time and it was on a cruise ship! Of course the food was incredible at the varied restaurants on board including an authentic feeling Italian eatery in Central Park and the fresh healthy buffet in the Adult only Solarium area. Ok, so its time to let the pictures do the talking! These are all the reasons I loved cruising on Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas!

    I went on the Oasis a couple years back as well… one of my best cruise experiences ever! Oh my gosh the cafe in Central Park!? SO good. The hot tub hanging out over the side of the ship!? The zip lining? The flow rider surfing experience!? Mannnn I just want to book another right now!

    It’s been toooo long. Sigh. Sounds and looks like you had just as wonderful of a time.

Black-Owned Brunch Spots in Atlanta

  • This is Vik Iceland 🇮🇸!!! Have you been here? 
Do you normally chase the deal or destination? I normally chase the destination but this time I chased @delta deal to Iceland. I didn’t even know if I would have anyone to go with. In the end 2 woman from a travel I’m in went but I hung out on my own for most of the trip. 

I ❤️ Black sanded beaches! Besides this one I have been to them In Santorini Greece 🇬🇷 and Maui Hawaii 🌸 How about you? 

One of the reasons I posted this is to show Black women are adventurous! Including Black women over 50!!! I booked this tour the night before, got up at 6am and jumped on a tour bus solo. Because seeing this beach was on my bucket list for Iceland. It did not disappoint! 

Do you recognize this beach from a TV show?!!

  • Happy Monday!!! The answer is ZERO!! I love this trend because it speaks to me. Even when I haven’t been fond of a destination, I never regret the trip. I always learn something new about the place and about myself. It’s called growth. 

How about you?!

To celebrate Black History Month, we
  • In my last reel I gave you a long list of foods you should try in Turkiye. Now I’m suggesting the drinks you should try! 

Have you ever had Turkish coffee ☕️? Whew it’s strong! Head to my new blog post “Your Guide to Turkish Food” to find out why-the link is in my stories or thesophisticatedlife.com 

My favorite Turkish drinks-
Turkish tea 🫖 I drank it a few times a day and brought canisters home for me and as a gift 
Salep-thick sweet goodness-but this drink has an interesting history and current dilemma. Read why 
Sherbet-NOT dessert! a refreshing herbal, slightly fruity drink. Not sweet
AND of course I tried Turkish wine 🍷 mostly red blends and dry white wines. 

Have you been to Istanbul or Turkiye? Have you had any of these? Let me know what you think of my blog post!

  • I am so incredibly proud of @marty_sandiego 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I met Martinique Lewis years ago before we both found ourselves as co-founders of @theblacktravelalliance where she currently serves as President. She is also the founder of @abctravelgreenbook among other amazing things. This TV show was meant for her!! Please share this post & watch the show on February 6th!!
