Smith &amp; Friends\u201d cruise, we didn\u2019t know what to expect. Now here we are almost a decade later and each time I get to plan a cruise it\u2019s more exciting than the last.<\/p>\n<p>My family and I could have never anticipated what we would experience on a ship with so many friends. The opportunities to connect with new friends and reconnect with old ones are always the most cherished moments. Of course, there&#8217;s also the amazing ports, sights and chances to experience and explore new places.<\/p>\n<p>It is with all of that in mind that my family, my team and I are excited to invite you to join us for our 2016 cruise to the Caribbean. By the time the ship sets sail it will have been 8 years since we last cruised the Caribbean and we&#8217;re all looking forward to a cruise in the warm sun.<\/p>\n<p>We are thrilled to be sailing on Royal Caribbean\u2019s OASIS OF THE SEAS, one of the highest rated and most popular ships to ever set sail. This ship will offer more opportunities for my friends and their families to create memories together than any of our prior cruises. In addition to the daily devotions, concerts and events we are planning exclusively for our group, there will be plenty of time built in to enjoy the many shows and other attractions that are a part what makes the OASIS OF THE SEAS so special.<\/p>\n<p>The ports are unique, beautiful and fun to explore&#8230; from the gorgeous beaches and delectable restaurants of Dutch St. Maarten and history of San Juan, to Royal Caribbean\u2019s private port in Labadee.<\/p>\n<p>As always, we\u2019ll be adding some very special guest artists to make the week even more memorable. So, I really hope you will join me, Debbie and our family on what will be an amazing week of worship, exploration and relaxation!<\/p>\n<p>We looking forward to seeing you on the ship!<\/p>\n<p><strong>God Bless,<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>Michael W.
