So, to be clear, Elite members can choose to go to the Tuscan Grill in the morning and have specialty coffee (espresso, cappuccino, macchiato, latte) and pastries.

It's still offered on some ships/sailings, but not all.  On my Oasis sailing next week it showed available in the cruise planner but I was unable to complete the booking after several attempts.  I did book the BOGO dining for nights 1 and 2 instead.  Keep checking your cruise planner...it may show up.

The 'First Night Done Right' has been cancelled effective Dec 4, 2018.

I have only been on the Liberty, Allure and about to go on the Vision.  Only the Liberty offered this "First Night Done Right".  Is this deal limited to certain ships or have they done away with it?

Thank you!

I contacted Royal Caribbean today and I was told that effective Dec 4, 2018 the 'First Night Done Right' has been cancelled.

It´s a pretty short list of signature drinks:

 

Helios in the Sand (Bacardi Superior Rum, Coco Lopez Cream of Coconut, pineapple juice, mint leaves)

 

Wondering Ice (Remy Martin VSOP, Bénedictine, Dolin Sweet Vermouth, dashes of Peychaud´s bitters)

 

Rolling Stone (Ilegal Joven Mezcal, honey, lemon & cucumber juices, yogurt mix, basil leaves)

 

Dream Catcher (Basil Hayden´s Bourbon, Grand Marnier, apricot brandy, lemon & orange juices, simple syrup)

 

The Stowaway (Talisker Scotch Whisky, port, lemon & orange juices, sugar)

 

We had the Rolling Stone and the Dream Catcher. I ordered the Dream Catcher and DH the Rolling Stone. We swapped drinks as we both said the other is more our taste.

zstarbrite and chandom...THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! We don't sail until March, so I would love to see them if you have the time to scan them in and/or upload to RCLBlog. Have a great trip!

General:

 

Voom was pretty good.

 

Debarkation was good. We used luggage valet and opted to depart about 7:30 a.m. The wait to go through customs wasn’t too long but the wait for our bus back to the airport was.

 

We are easy going and don’t require coddling. We always find a way to have a good time despite the kinks. I must say, however, the failure of Crown and Anchor to recognize us and the lack of interest in correcting the situation was quite a turnoff. Therefore I dub thee “The Chopped Liver Cruise.”

Great photos! Thanks for sharing them with us.

RCI had butlers???

Hi everyone, I got this list from the Art Actually guys on Oasis and thought I'd share it for anyone that was interested. This is the locations of all the small wonders on Oasis (but not what each one is). :D
