Like many others we wanted to participate in the hoopla on Saturday as well. We could see the traffic was lined up on the 17th street causeway and going towards Dania beach. So, we decided to take a bike ride to John Lloyd state park to see what we could see. There were many ships in port and we could see the Oasis from the back side at the tip of the park towards the intercoastal. What was a surprise to me was that we had a close up of the new Seaborne Odyssey ship which is a beautiful new ship also. You could hear the music playing from across the water and seeing the ships made it even more enjoyable living in South Florida. Yes, there were many snow birds walking in the park to get a glimpse of the Oasis and enjoying the absolutely picture perfect weather that was to be had, blue clear skies. You could hear the excitement in many conversations on what ship to book next or sail on as well as when they can leave. That is the beauty of living in the cruise capital of the world and having access to walk on a ship to sail to your next destination.
