@HBCcruiser, not sure what dinner schedule Wendy has set up for you but if you like steak, night 1 @CK is usually filet night. Imho, CK does a better filet than the specialties and is not to be missed. We used to avoid CK for dinner when sailing Star but once we had that filet...always CK for Filet night, lol. Also, we love breakfast en suite when we are Star on sea days ( we usually order from CK menu). Be sure to set up Starbucks (included) coffee delivery every morning otherwise you'll end up with room service coffee. Good but who doesn't prefer specialty coffees. Ask Wendy if you can schedule activities around breakfast. Oh, one last thing, Escape Room looks like ot is open on Harmony again. Be sure to get her to schedule it, it is a blast...included with Star. Ok, one last last thing. Watch Aqua show once from ATS and once in the actual theater...different experiences. Also, Johnny Rockets milkshakes are great during the Aqua Show when in the theater. Dont be afraid to ask.

The best tip I can give is be very up-front with your genie about things you want. Don't worry, I am sure they have heard every request under the sun. Some things they can do some they can't but definitely ask. We've had some genies that were better than others anticipating our wants. We learned to just be up front, especially in pre-cruiese communication and there is never an awkward day 1 learning curve. You like peanut M&Ms at all times, ask. Like wings, a taco bar and chocolate strawberries in the room every afternoon ask. They will give you a pre-cruise beverage menu. If there is something you want ( my kid likes Dr Pepper & root beer), ask. Some things can only be sourced prior to departure so if you let them know early, they can make arrangements so you can get it brought on board before sailing. Also, take full advantage of laundry. We pack light knowing we can send laundry out daily to be cleaned/pressed.

Yes. Attendant will service twice daily. We haven't noticed any reduction in service/perks.

Oasis Ultimate Panoramic Suite - Anyone?

We've stayed in UPS twice. Our first time in the suite, it was noisy from above from kids running and jumping late at night. We were Karens and called CS because it was nearly 1AM. It stopped within minutes. Didn't hear it again the rest of that sailing. Our second sailing, we never heard any noise at night. -
We've been so disappointed in the Music Hall's use on Oasis (x2) We absolutely loved it on Anthem but it seemed to us that it was always closed for events like silent party on Oasis. Such a great venue, wish they'd use it better in Oasis.

We were on Oasis last week. Although we did not do it, we saw families come in CK and order to go with no issue. They just plated each dish with a cloche like room service. Families were seated with drinks until their order was ready. Also, if you like steak, I recommend filet night on night 1. Imho, CK blew the specialty restaurant filets away.

I think they were referring to # of cleanings vs # of rooms: 74 stewards x 16 cabins x 2 cleanings/day = 2368 cleanings 54 stewards x 25 cabins x 1 cleaning/day = 1350 cleanings. This still may not equal exact numbers of cabins on Explorer but still a good wag. Also, it looks like you pulled your stats from Cruisemapper. RCI officially lists on their site 1,715 total cabins with 125 being suites. Iām not really understanding the need to fact check the numbers in someones post imho but if data analysis to prove someone wrong on a cruise board is your jam, at least pull your numbers from the official site.
