'SUPER MOON' FROM THE OASIS OF THE SEAS

While Royal Caribbean maybe didn't schedule it that way, Oasis of the Seas departed for a seven-day cruise of the Eastern Caribbean on the same day the moon made its closest approach to the earth -- May 5. Meaning those of us on board got a great show on the very first night. Of course, it's hard to capture the experience on camera, but trust me, it made for a beautiful sight in the evening sky from deck 17.
