Ft. Lauderdale - FAM with RCCL

Saturday, January 7, 2012 by Gabby.

I’ve been wanting to share photos of my trip last May. I’m still fighting with my old computer to retrieve some of the pictures (you know how it is - some taken with phone, some with camera and they got downloaded in various locations…grrrrr).

We stayed at the Hilton Ft. Lauderdale Marina, which is a lovely and convenient location to beaches, shopping and the port. Excellent staff and beautiful setting.

The first two pictures are from the Majesty, while the second two are on Oasis. I found the artwork to be quite charming. The third picture is the zipline and that last picture is of the Aquatheatre and movie screen - from a suite!

Not only did the great staff from Royal Caribbean take us on tours of the Majesty and Oasis of the Seas, but also treated us to a Miami tour (in conjunction with Miami CVB).

I’m uploading just a few pictures today - and will infuse more as the days go along. There is so much to share, so many cool things on cruise ships - I wish I could show them all at once. And each of the ships - as well as cruise lines - has its own personality… a very important thing to consider when planning your vacation.

Hope you enjoy the photos - and of course, I’d love feedback. Does anyone have pics or stories to share?

Gabby here - and thrilled to be talking about travel. I have so many things I’d like to share - and would love to have people share as well. A happy traveler is an informed traveler, eh?

I am actually on the road today myself, so I’ve found a really great blog that Princess Cruise Line posts; last year they presented 50 Essential Experiences, and for 2012, their theme is  “Inspired to Cruise: A Year of Reasons to Get Away from the Everyday.” 

Here’s their first story….

He was my high-school sweetheart, my first husband for only five years and now, almost three decades later, my groom once again. After 27 long years apart, we were taking our first cruise together, a second-chance honeymoon … Read More

I won’t always take the lazy way out by re-posting others’ work, but I must get packing! Enjoy this sweet story and look for my meandering mind this weekend!

BTW, Princess is having a Balcony BONUS sale this month, through January 31st. When you book by Jan 13, you receive a guaranteed $700 savings per stateroom. More details are on the Rich Getaways cruise page or Facebook. Or make it easy, email (shelly @) Rich Getaways and we’ll send you everything you need :)

Have a great day!
