Not sure there was much to be changed even with her being AMPed - look up any review in the past 5 years and the shows are likely to be about the same.

Oasis changed the aqua show.

 

I am pretty confident we will make our B2B on Allure in December.

Can someone give a quick run down on the shows onboard? Since she is not getting

her redo I bet the shows will stay the same. Thanks!

My first was Monarch of the Seas back in the '90's. Our family group of 10. My uncle was an avid cruiser so I followed his lead. I remember having the same waiter and we sat at the same table breakfast, lunch and dinner. I thought that was pretty amazing. I never knew the ship had a buffet until my second cruise! I also remember they had ashtrays down the hallways and you could smoke pretty much anywhere. That inside room was my most expensive cabin to date.

That is very unfortunate. So are they going to put Wonderland in that space? If so, ....uuuuggghh...what a waste. The venue is beautiful on Harmony but the food was weird and tasted awful (except for the dessert).

 

Where Dazzles was will now be the Music Hall on Oasis

Where can you get specialty coffee? (I know no Starbucks) is it available

anywhere besides the Cafe Promenade? Thank You!

Is there anywhere on Oasis to get speciality coffee besides Café Promenade? (Not counting Starbucks)

Very Cool, Thank you!

 

I'm going on the Oasis after her refurb this fall. Tell me about Playmaker's.

Is the food included or an extra charge? How much, Ballpark (pun intended) figure.

Thank You!

12 per person or per cabin? Inquiring minds want to know. 😀 Yeah, what is up with no Fresca?!?

I thought maybe they are not allowing other discounts during the current "Sale".  I want my C&A balcony rate.

Even got to meet Bug Naked.

 

Oh I am Jealous you met Bug! I follow Bug on Instagram (bugnaked). Very funny postings!

I have been looking a Princess cruises to Alaska as well NCL.

 

The itinerary with Princess states

 

 

Where NCL says just Glacier Bay

We are looking to cruise Infinity in Nov or early Dec timeframe. You mentioned newer updated cabins?

How do I know which ones have been updated?

Looking at cat 06 Oceanview?

Thanks for the help.

 

The "Newer" but not New,New ocean view staterooms are the even numbered cabins on deck 3. 3112,14,16,18.20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40,42,3144

 

These have a bigger window. Some of these cabins I suspect are being held back on some sailings. I think they will be released later on. (Just my thoughts, I don't know for sure) The November 10th sailing they have a few of these cabins available

There are quite a lot of 06 available on ? plaza deck ( level 3) . None of the newer cabins near conf area available.

 

I am not a TA or work for a TA Just your average Jill.

 

I bet dollars to donuts that the newer level 3 are being held by a TA and any unsold will open up nearer to sailing. What I would do is book another cat 6 and wait. Good Luck!

I found the answer to the OP's Question:

 

Amtrak, we are going two nights ahead. One night on the train and one at Port Everglades somewhere.

There are two trains to Florida, both start in New York's Penn Station. Both end in Miami. If you are sailing out of Tampa, The Silver Star would be the one to take. It takes 25 hours to Tampa and 30 hours to get to Fort Lauderdale. The train we are taking is the Silver Meteor this train takes 26 hours to Fort Lauderdale.

Hint: If you are in the Northeast and want to take the train to Penn Station. On Amtrak's Website price a ticket going from your town to NYP only. It gives you so many more choices than when you put your town to Miami or wherever. Than call Amtrak to make the reservation tell them you want to take "X" train to NY than your train to Florida. (I hope you understand what I am trying to say) I have been many times but this is the first for DH. I don't get the sleeping compartments either (defeats the saving money idea, and I would have to stare at DH's mug the whole way. LOL). I am social and like to hang out in the lounge car. I don't have a problem sleeping the seats are great and the motion is not unlike a ships rocking. (I bring a small pillow and a small throw)

We took the auto train one year from Virginia to Sanford. It was a very long trip. Lol

Yes it is a long trip I have taken it before. Just bring an adult beverage and take a nap!

How cool is that. Sounds like fun. And where are you getting the $95 return flight from? Is that Jet Blue? FLL to Boston is often a highly discounted route. And that rate on Amtrak, that's a great rate too.

 

We've never had luck with Southwest. Always more expensive than the big guys from here but each airport is different.

Yes, We get back to FLL on a Thursday so it was only $95.00 on Jet Blue back to Boston.

My husband and I are flying into FLL for our April cruise.

 

Airlines that release their fares 330 days prior have release their schedule and the cost of flying is crazy ridiculous. Anywhere from $600 to $1100.

 

I am hoping that Southwest will be less. On June 28 they are releasing flights through March. Anyone know when, historically, they will release for April?

 

Thanks!

We are taking Amtrak from Boston to FLL for our cruise this fall. We are taking the train down for around $138.00 each. Flying back for $95.00 each. Airfare is nuts to Florida! Making the train trip is part of our "Adventure"

Personally I would love to see a restaurant like the

What is the cost of the train from NYC?

 

I just did a quick check NYP to Miami $124.00 one way coach 10/12/18 with no discounts.

...

...

We are taking the train to Fort Lauderdale not only because my DH wants to try the train It is also because my DH is the cheapest person you will ever know. :* No sleeping Compartment or Balcony in my near future.

 

I know it's early but airfares going from Boston to Fort Lauderdale are just nuts. We are going to fly home though, it's only $95.00 each.
