Beyond the innovations of Oasis of the Seas (and its sister Allure of the Seas, which debuted in December 2010), what kind of cruise does it really offer? Will a ship that accommodates 6,296 passengers (when all berths are filled) feel crowded? How can a vessel that's so big -- and that holds so many people -- offer the kind of attentive service that cruise ships are typically known for? And will the hordes descending from Oasis of the Seas in ports such as Nassau, St. Thomas and St. Maarten overwhelm the islands?

Tampa Cruise Guide - cruises from Tampa Florida
One of America's most popular departure ports for western Caribbean cruises is Tampa, Florida. This warm Gulf Coast port offers year round cruises with enough variety that there's sure to be something to fit anyone's budget. Tampa cruises are an excellent start to a vacation, but there's a lot more to do.
Take a Tampa cruise, then stay a few extra days to enjoy the other attractions in the area. Hit the rides at Busch Gardens or see the undersea world at the Florida Aquarium. Take a streetcar ride to Channelside for shopping, then on to historic Ybor City for hot Cuban sandwiches and hand-rolled cigars. Go sport fishing, jet skiing, or parasailing. It's no surprise that Tampa cruises are so popular, considering all the fun to be had before or after your voyage.
