We have 2 CVS appointments scheduled in Orlando: 1 day before cruise, 1 morning of cruise (just in case 1st gets canceled).  Also going to try to get tested at home before we fly to Orlando (2 days before cruise).  Still thinking about ordering the at home kits, just to be safe.

Can anyone share your experience getting tested in Orlando pre-cruise?  We have 2 CVS appointments scheduled, 1 day before cruise, 1 morning of (just in case 1st gets cancelled).  Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.

I’m in same boat.  FP due Mon 8/3 for 10/31 cruise.  Hoping to cancel and receive FCC of $200 that we can use to book a TBD cruise.

Have a great cruise, looking forward to your review.

Any info you can offer on table limits will be helpful.  Also wondering if they have a Let It Ride table for my wife.  Thanks in advance.

We loved Coco Cay last March and definitely will be returning on our Freedom cruise end of October.

Thanks for the video.  We are also boarding Friday!

Thanks Tyman.  My wife prefers LIR, so I’m hoping they have that too.

Can any recent Mariner cruisers comment on available table games/limits on Mariner?  Specifically, is there a Let-It-Ride or 3 Card Poker table? Also, what limits did you observe for those and Blackjack?  Thank you in advance.

Service - excellent throughout ship, especially in MDR and Casino Bar.  Didn’t see our Stateroom attendant much, but didn’t need to.  Room was always clean when we needed it to be.

Food - MDR, very good.  Windjammer, ok.  Solarium (breakfast and lunch), ok.  Park Cafe, very good.  Promenade Cafe, ok.  Sorrento, good with exception of final night.

Ship - First time on this class and wasn’t sure I’d like it.  I did enjoy it and would cruise this class again.  I didn’t get much use of the many activities available, as we

spent most time by the pool and in the Casino, but there is a lot to do for cruisers of all ages.

Fellow Cruisers - most were great and very friendly.  However, I observed too many people treating staff horribly for no reason.  Many people were downright rude with no manners at all.  I’m sure those rude passengers don’t read CC, so the message will be lost, but just because the crew is there to serve us doesn’t mean we should treat them as our personal servants/slaves. These are real people who bust their a** to provide for their families.  They least we can all do is treat them with decency and respect.

Embarkation/Disembarkation - horrible on both days.  From what I’ve read, this is unusual, but definitely gives me pause when thinking of booking another Mega ship from PC.

Booked our upcoming 12/2 Oasis Cruise on Black Friday 2017.  Price was good when factoring in the $300 OBC.  Will see if I can find a good deal this year for Nov/Dec 2019.

Booked on Black Friday 2017 for Dec 2 '18 Oasis 7 night OV Balcony. For the 2 of us, net cost (fare + tax/fees - OBC) is $1255 total. I was extremely happy to book for less than $100 pp/night. This will be the 3rd straight cruise we've taken in late Nov/early Dec. The timing works great for us and demand seems to be lighter, making it a good bargain for us.

Thank you for the offer. I would love to see pics of pool deck loungers (not upright chairs) that are located in shade (not in solarium). From what I have gathered so far, there are some near the 2 hot tubs near main pool, but interested in location of others. Will be on Oasis first time in Dec and looking forward to relaxing by pools most days, but not in sun. Thanks for your help! Have a great cruise.

Reunion Looks great! Enjoy your stay. We are excited about Oasis, first time on this class. Love Voyager Class, so curious to see which we'll prefer. If you make it to Celebration, we enjoyed the Celebration Town Tavern. They make a great Bloody Mary if the mood strikes you.

I estimate Dec 18 tickets will be on sale in May. Watching closely, as we're booked on Oasis 12/2.

If you're able to get a pic of the shaded seating areas near the side by side hot tubs near the main pool that would be great. Safe travels and have fun!

We visited NC Dec '16 and loved it. Booked direct via NC website. Was recommendation from bartender in Miami the morning we boarded and will definitely return. Very affordable, great service and very very relaxing. Highly recommended!

If you're able, a few pics of the shaded areas of the pool deck (main pool, beach pool, Solarium) would be extremely helpful. Thank you and enjoy!!

It was upright chairs (but with leg rests), not a table chair. But not the lounger. Didn’t see many of those in the shade. But they do have umbrellas so some of the lounge chairs by the pools are in shade.

Thank you. That was my impression based on pics.

Actually I can answer this as we look only for chairs in the shade and there was ALWAYS plenty. We love sitting in the shade and people watch.

Thank you. Just to further clarify, were there plenty of loungers (as opposed to upright chairs) in the shaded areas? Thanks again!

How would you rate the quantity of pool lounge chairs available in shaded areas on pool deck? This is something I haven't been able to get a good sense of through pictures. I know the weather didn't cooperate for you so may not have been a lot of demand. I love to lay by the pool all day everyday, but need to be in shaded spot.

Bed near the balcony.

Perfect, thank you!

Anyone know the layout for 7302? Thanks in advance!
