Passengers lined the decks of Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas to bid farewell – for a week – to the shores of Fort Lauderdale, Florida and set off on a Caribbean extravaganza.

The ship, among the largest cruise ships in the world, will stop in Nassau, Bahamas, Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas and Philipsburg, St. Maarten and offer plenty of poker action along the way in conjunction with Card Player Cruises as part of the Card Player Poker Tour.

“I really believe this is one of the best poker rooms in the world,” Card Player Cruises partner Linda Johnson said. “Our staff is better than any staff I’ve ever seen. Our players come and play as much as they want or as little as they want. We do have a wide variety of games and limits and we have tournaments as well as cash games. We have something for whatever it is you want.”

Regarded as a ship that revolutionized cruising, the Oasis of the Seas is known for its groundbreaking design, which includes seven distinct neighborhoods, 25 dining options and employs nearly 2,300 crew members on board.

Passengers can enjoy acrobatics shows in the aqua theater, surf simulators, zip-lines, ice rinks, table tennis, mini golf and rock climbing among many other things. The ship features a winding garden stroll lined with shops and fine restaurants as well as a spa, a fitness center and an outdoor jogging track.

“It’s an amazing vacation because we mix poker as people’s hobby with the whole adventure of cruising, which makes for a really amazing vacation,” Card Player Cruises partner Jan Fisher said. “And it’s great for people with partners that don’t play poker because there is plenty for them to do.”
