I am sure this has been asked and answered, but I can't find it.  Can anyone tell me what the themed parties/nights are on Oasis?  We have a trip planned in February on her and some people in my family have already started packing.

Thanks!

Is he still on Harmony?

I am just picturing the eye rolling of the passengers behind me in line, while I say, "No, not that one.  The third one under there, over there!  NO, THERE!"  😄 😄 😄 

That's when you turn around and tell them what I tell customers at my register at work when they worry about holding up the line. . ."This is your spot until you're done with it.  They'll get the same consideration."  

Butterfly garden in Aruba.  And we always hit up the local grocery stores, just to check them out.

We are doing a side-to-side (I think that's the proper term for consecutive cruises but different ships) for the first time in May.  First leg is 8-night southern Caribbean ABC islands on Mariner, and second leg is 7-night Caribbean on Harmony.  I'm trying to figure out the logistics of transferring items purchased on the first leg to the second leg since some items, mainly alcohol, would not be allowed in your room on the second sailing.  Does Royal have a policy for this or are we just out of luck on the first leg in purchasing alcohol to take home?  

And if there's anything else I should know about a side-to-side cruise, I'm listening.  

Thanks for the review and the answers.  No masks required at Coco Cay?

So excited!  Just booked this room for Sept. 2021.  We were looking at an aft balcony, but this one has soooo much more room and THOSE WINDOWS!!!  So glad to have something to look forward to once again.

We may bail on Ovation and pick up something closer in Spring 21

Harmony has an eastern Caribbean for Valentine's day 2021. . .

Yay!!!  Another John and Laura review. . .almost as good as being there myself.  Almost.  Have a wonderful trip!

I never looked at the compass because we had reservations. I guess MTD doesn’t open before 6:30. 

On Harmony, they recently added an early traditional dining time in the American Icon dining room (which is the MTD room) which has pushed the start of MTD to 630.  This has caused MAJOR issues on recent cruises because people who made MTD reservations months ago are now being pushed back.  Hopefully it resolves itself soon.

What was the bands name that made all the sounds with out a bad, the headliner show .

 

The headliner show was Mo5aic, an acapella group that was amazing! 

I just want the can.  😎

We were on Harmony a few weeks ago, and they raffled off 2 or 3 bottles of wine, backpacks, and certificates for movies on demand.  Our first M&M.  It was a lot of fun!

One thing Ive learned to do is just get on ANY elevator that has room no matter which way its going.  

Yep.  Go up to go down or vice versa.  We were also on this sailing.  My son and two of his friends had the drink package and got their money's worth.  They hung out in the casino bar nightly, tipped the bartenders the first night, and have absolutely no complaints about any drinks they got.  And they got EVERYTHING!  Just not all at once.  I enjoyed a tequila shot with them one evening, and it was waaaay more than a shot. . .more like 3.  The chocolate martini was a favorite for one of the boys.  Amaretto sour (I know, chick drink) was a nightly drink.  I was just told that every martini they tried was delicious.  

Really enjoyed this sailing except for the first night in the MDR.  We had MTD, and a month or so ago, they decided to add another early seating in the American Icon Dining room, pushing those of us with MTD reservations to later times.  This was an absolute cluster.  We have never had a problem showing up at our time and being seated.  There were at least 50 to 60 people blocking the entrance to the dining room every night.  Our first dinner, our wait staff completely forgot about us. . .leaving us sitting for 30 minutes between clearing our plates and delivering the next course.  We finally left without dessert and said something at the door.  The next night, we were seated in a new station with probably the best team we have EVER had.  Donald, Ijero, and Head Waiter Stefan were amazing.  I think they were concerned when we were first moved to their station, and I'm sure we are on some kind of list, but honestly, we NEVER complain about anything.  EVER.  And we were fairly calm this time. . .just terribly disappointed in our first dining experience on Harmony.  Every other night was a dream.

There are tables and there are chairs.  🙂

Thanks.  Some of us can't get down onto the loungers. . .well, we can.  We just can't get back up.  😋

We've been on several cruises but for the life of me, I can't remember if there is seating at the pool areas other than loungers.  Are there any "regular" seats?  

We regularly stay in a boardwalk balcony (on Oasis twice and Harmony coming up in Sept) with my BF and my adult son.  Plenty of room and closet space.  My son says the fold-out couch is fine.  

This is great!  I've been following John and Laura for the past couple of weeks.  Now, it's time for a new Andrew review.  When you get back, it'll only be 21 days until we board Harmony!  Thanks for making the time fly!

Thanks for the review.  Building the anticipation for our Harmony cruise next month!

Who is invited to the helipad for sail away?

Leave the gun.  Take the cannoli.

Following.  On  Harmony in Sept and trying to soak up as much info as possible beforehand.  Have a wonderful cruise!

My son recently got his for $59, but this included Voom one device as well.  The Deluxe drink package was $49 by itself during that sale.

It kind of stinks that the catamaran parks right in the MIDDLE of the beach area.  What a bummer.

Just received senior discount this week on our Harmony Sept 22 cruise.  Over $200 for each of us, in addition to the sale price.
