My 5 cts for the TA on Oasis last week. 282 Pinnacles, 825ish D+
Now, the suite lounge and CK were closed to Pins except the top 30. Those Pins that wanted to meet up during social hours had been forced to use the crown lounge. The extra Pin lounge Music Hall/Dazzles was not provided as a dedicated lounge anymore.
Diamonds were ousted during social hours from crown lounge. So, a mere 1100 D+ and Pins had to fight for a seat in the crown lounge. The crown lounge has a seating capacity of 42!!!!!
There were 1024 D+ on the Oasis TA. So 1024 + 282 = 1306 potential passengers for 42 chairs.

Thanks for the Live review. I got home Friday from my post-cruise stay in the Montserrat area and finally finished the review a few minutes ago.
It was nice to meet you in person upon arriving at the terminal and several other times during the cruise.

We did the RCI transfer to the airport via Montserrat to kill some time as our flight departure time had been moved to later.
I’ve done this trip before to “kill time” before flights.
We had to meet at the ungodly hour of 7:15 but the coach didn’t even leave to close to 8:30An hours drive each way meant that we only had 90 minutes there and our visit didn’t even include the tickets to see the Black Madonna which is the whole point of going there!! At $125pp we were very disappointed!
Stayed 5 nights post-cruise in Monistrol de Montserrat. Took the Aeri up the mountain on Tuesday, May 7.

I didn’t know that, or possibly after the shutdown it wasn’t there in the planner but is now…we’re used to early dining now 😁
Was able to book online up to my last pre-shutdown cruise - Feb. 2020 and all my restart cruises, starting with Oasis - Oct 2021.

Called 800-526-9723 on March 13 around 8 PM. Was on hold for approx. 6 minutes. Call was then answered by a real person. Changed my D+ amenity, then inquired about missing points on a past cruise. 26 minutes total, including initial hold time and research of missing points.
YMMV.

Had MTD reservations every night for 7 PM on the recent Oasis TA. Headed to the MDR around 6:45 PM. A MDR employee said if you wanted same table at 6:45 PM every night to come forward. Took them up on the offer. 🙂

Yikes..I'll never get close to that. If all my previous cruises would have been with RCL, I'd be much farther along. I could take or leave the whole tier / points system as far as that goes.
29 of 48 cruises were on RCI.

I thought Odyssey had a retractable roof over one of the pools?
Anthem (also Quantum, Ovation, Spectrum) has a retractable roof, although I've never seen it opened.
Odyssey is not covered.

Maybe La Patisserie?

But because you are all being so patient with me, here are some pictures of my very first Disney back in 1997.
My first Disney World visit was in 1971. Last visit was 1998, just before Animal Kingdom opened.

Yep, Knew this was coming. Just received a few of these for clients. The 12 day Canaries sailing prior to this one has been shortened to 8 days
I thought the previous sailings was 9 day Southampton to Rome? Is that sailing also cancelled?

You can also use your coupons for unopened canned and other contained beverages (beer, Truly, soda, water) to take and keep in your refrigerator in your stateroom. We do that with unused coupons frequently as they expire daily. Nice on our balcony from time to time without having to go to a bar to get them.
Still have a John Smith's, Old Speckled Hen, Red Stripe, and Bummer's in my home fridge from my last cruise. 😄

No need to wait. Since it’s my 2 kids that would be left on the dock (joking) there was no chance I wanted to take a huge risk like that. So I made an appt with a State Passport Agency had to drive 3 hours this AM and pick up Thursday, another 3 hour drive. But now we have no worries. I just can’t take the risk some stickler dock person decides to enforce this rule which doesn’t apply.
Mark your calendar ...

Make some new friends. 😉🍹
Meet a D+ couple on our Arctic Crossing in 2022 that shared their unused vouchers for some night caps. 🙂 They have joined us on our TA next week. I can see some "free" night caps in the near future. 😄

... and noise is not an issue for me as I'm deaf so hearing aid is off when I sleep!! 😉
Ditto. 🙂 One of the advantages of being hearing impaired.
I can also shut off my aids to hear the annoyingly loud music at a comfortable level.

Changed my password BUT now I am being forced to buy a new phone. I still have an Iphone 8 (I know I KNOW - but I love my phone). Now their app requires you to have ios version 17. Guess what? 8 does not support 17 - my version is 16.7.7.
Thanks for the heads up. Have been putting off updating to iOS 17, but just installed on my two iPhone SE2.

We just got assigned our last cabin for the June 23 sailing, and it looks like a pretty "meh" location. 3848. Looks like it's close to elevators, bathrooms, and main dining room traffic. Only upside I can see is that it looks like a cabin that won't get a ton of traffic after hours as there is nothing else there. Has anyone ever stayed here or near here who can out my mind at ease? It's for my sons, who are both 17-20 and can sleep through a train but still would rather it not be very very loud for them.

Every other time I've gone threw the Canal WJ was open early at 6am, but was interesting watching hundreds getting there Helipad spot early too have such a long wait. Different being after Lunch by time we got threw first set Locks.
On my Panama Canal transit, the prime viewing spots were packed. A quick rain shower and they cleared out. I had an umbrella and rain jacket, so I moved in to secure a prime spot. 🙂

Maybe this is a UK specific pre-cruise excursion?
