Tips for Planning the Perfect Cruise
Just watching the cruise passengers heading off the ships to Port of Costa Maya was interesting for me, here are these huge ships docked and everything comes alive for a day. Heading off on tours, going shopping or just whatever, there’s a hustle and bustle atmosphere but it is all organized with extreme precision.
Oasis of the Seas – Our 2011 Spring Break cruise was on Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas over the dates of April 2-9, 2011. I have attempted to condense highlights from our 7 night cruise down to three and a half minutes. We stopped in Labadee Haiti, Falmouth Jamaica and Cozumel Mexico. The ship is amazing and we had perfect weather the entire cruise. The big surprise/highlight was the quality of the entertainment. We saw the play “Hairspray”, the ice show, Beatlemania, “Oasis of Dreams” in the Aqua Amphitheater and the “Come Fly with Me” show. Richard Spacey was the Cruise Director. royal caribbean oasis of the seas cruise labadee falmouth jamaica cozumel mexico spring break western richard spacey zip line surfing flow rider allure liberty beatlemania dreams come fly with me boardwalk central park rising tide neon trees animal snellville ga georgia gwinnett county bruce johnson nikon d5000 stop motion dreamworks freedom tour cabin Haiti royalcaribbeanoasis reviews review photo photos oasisoftheseas cruise ship April 2011 video tour honeymoon tours highlights best most popular most viewed world’s largest huge wave biggest highlights tour and highlights GoPro tour tips

Almost anything but plastic can be dumped beyond 25 miles (40 kilometres). Miles from shore in the open Caribbean Sea, cruise ships are dumping ground-up glass, rags and cardboard packaging. But vessels in other waters such as the Baltic and North seas are prohibited from throwing any solid waste overboard other than food scraps. The difference? Many countries with coastlines on the world’s most fragile seas abide by a United Nations dumping ban that requires them to treat ship-generated garbage on land. Caribbean islands, however, have yet to adopt the ban, saying they simply don’t have the capacity to treat ship garbage on shore. They also fear the ban could push ships to dock in less regulated ports of call. The islands scattered across the Caribbean have struggled to establish a common policy because when it comes to the cruise industry, they see themselves as competitors. Cruise ship arrivals are major economic events, with passengers spending roughly .5 billion annually in Caribbean ports. Governments are wary of driving away ships that might find fewer requirements or lower fees elsewhere. In one notorious example, Carnival Cruise Line withdrew from Grenada in 1999 amid a dispute over .50-a-head tax to pay for a new landfill. “Countries haven’t forgotten that,” said …
