Have a great time! We will be on our family vacation on the Oasis in October. Ages 72 to 11. Looking forward to your daily updates if you have time!

Adorable card! And you also nicely tucked the date in the upper right hand corner. That makes you a very sweet husband! You will both have fun looking back at these cards in another 20 years!

Andrew and Lisa, 🎈🎈Happy Anniversary to both of you! 🎈🎈 Ok…what’s in those envelopes? 😊

Hi, I would book it now as non-refundable if you are happy with the price. I find the refundable fares to be too pricey to even consider, but check it out. The Symphony and the Anthem are to totally different ships and very different experiences. Try them both and see for yourself. I don’t think you will be disappointed. Note: Royal Caribbean is not as good as it was pre pandemic, but still a very nice cruise line. I think you will be pleased.

Thanks for the fun and informative review. I really enjoyed it.

We have sailed out of Bayonne a total of 8 times since the restart. Only once we’re they strict concerning the boarding time, and that was when they had just resumed sailing. We generally get to the port about 10 am, with a 10:30 or 11 am boarding time. They seem to be letting all on without question. We are usually in a suite so have the luxury of arriving up to one hour before our scheduled boarding time, but no one ever asks when cabin type we are in. The just say “Welcome!” or words to that effect. I don’t think you will have any issues at all. Of course, you won’t truly know until you get there. Happy cruising!

Great review, and sorry to see it end! A big thanks for bringing us along on your cruise…

Great review so far, Denversail. Wishing you calm seas and great memories. Oasis is one of our favorite ships…take good care of her until we board in October!

Did they place the pink notices on the chair backs, and did nothing? Or, they did nothing, including no notices placed on chairs?

Nice review! Thank you so much for sharing 👍

I’m so very sorry to hear of your father’s failing health. He, along with you and your family, are in my prayers.

@RCCL Fan…as usual, I just LOVE your trip reports and can’t wait for more 😊. Also wanted to add that you have a lovely family.

Thanks for the great review Deelitefull! I really enjoyed following along. Safe travels home!

What a fun review! Thank you for posting such a detailed review…I loved it!

Hi Rubyfisch, Your review was a fun read. Thanks for spending the time to share your cruise with us! Pat

Funny you should ask…! We sail on the Anthem of the Seas on 01/02/23. I transferred $300 points this past Saturday, 12/17, at 7:30am. This would give them 15 days to make the transfer. I made the transfer online, not on the phone. Well, the $300 points were posted to my cruise within hours. I was pleasantly surprised.

@laurieal I have been silently following you on your amazing trip. Thank you so much for the work you have put into this trip review. What a fun read…you are very talented! By the way…we board the Anthem tomorrow morning. Thanks for bringing her back to New Jersey, and safe travels home for you! Pat and hubby Tom

Hi Radio, I’m loving your review, as always! We will also begin an Oasis B2B on Sept 25th, the day you debark. I think you suggested earlier that Royal was providing your consecutive cruiser lunch at Giovanni’s Table. Am I mistaken? We sailed a B2B on Symphony in 2018, and our lunch was provided at Jamie’s Italian. We loved the specialty restaurant treat.

Great review Cayman Turtle! Thank you for spending your time to take us on this journey with you! Safe travels home…

Hi Kathy, Since you live in PA, you may be sailing from Bayonne NJ. We have sailed 4 times from Bayonne since the Covid restart. Once on Anthem of the Seas and three times on Oasis of the Seas. All four times in a Grand Suite. There has been NO Suite boarding line in Bayonne during our sailings. We went to the front of the line and asked the employee who was checking for arrival times, and he said there was no Suite Boarding Line, but he ushered us into the line where he was. It was rather embarrassing, even though no one said anything. Things are changing so rapidly, I don’t know what you will encounter. Our last cruise was on Oasis in June 2022, approx 7 weeks ago…no suite boarding line. We are sailing on the Oasis again in September in a Grand Suite. I’ll wait and see how the boarding goes. There was a suite line once you entered the terminal. We are just so happy to be sailing again, and having our loved ones in good health. Pre Covid, I just don’t recall if there was a suite check in line. Pre Covid seems like an eternity ago… Pat

Thank you Jessy for your great report!

You have sailed out now…

I agree with your assessment of the Playmakers Nachos on Oasis. I had the same reaction when I ordered them. Your photo actually looks better than what I was served. I also had their onion ring tower in September 2021 and on our June 10th, 2022 sailing. Again not good. Both times they were thin, overly crisp and greasy. I had them on the Wonder of the Seas and the Odyssey of the Seas in April. They were delish. Enjoying your review.

Glad everything is okay! Fully understand that cruise critic posting is not top priority 😊. We were on the Oasis 6/10/22 to 6/17/22. We had a nice time, but the ship seemed very crowded. I guess we were spoiled after doing a few sailings at 50 percent capacity. We are on the Oasis again doing a B2B 09/25/22 and 10/02/22…in the same cabin. I think this is your last week onboard…enjoy!!!

Hi Jesse, Hope all is okay…we are waiting for more trip report if you are able to keep it up. Thanks ☺️
