Has anyone recently sailed on Oasis? We leave August 28th and I'm wondering what shows do we need reservations for? In April we were on the Anthem and the only shows requiring reservations were those in 270. I'm assuming reservations are needed for the ice show and diving show but I could be wrong.

I get it but we are doing the New England/Canada cruise for 9 nights so most days we will be off the ship. I don't think I need to keep it cold I assume I can just take a cup and fill it with ice.

I have never brought soda on board any ship. But in September a friend and I are on Adventure for a New England/Canada cruise. We both recently became Diamond so we get our 4 drinks per day. On this cruise we will be off the ship every day we are at a port. I like a soda with my lunch and dinner and checked the soda package which is $8.99 a day. I read where I can bring a 12 pack of soda on the ship which would be perfect...and cheaper...for me. My question is do I put it in my luggage or do I have to carry it on the ship? I don't want to carry it on since it is a few hours after we board before we can get into our cabins. I would be okay bringing an additional small luggage to put the soda in that I would have delivered to my cabin. Anyone have experience with this who can let me know how to do this?

Our go to on all of the ships is Sorrentos. The pizza isn't bad and it has never been crowded. We have gone to the WJ and found it to be packed.

I agree with everyone that there is no benefit to Platinum, however, making Platinum puts you closer to Diamond! 😊

In April a friend & I were sailing out of Port Liberty, NJ. Our time was 11:30. We have an almost 2 hour drive and got there around 11:00. We didn't see a sign for our time only one for 11:00 so I got at the end of the line and my friend went up front to ask where we needed to go. Then she waved me up there and we were both told to go in. I thought that was strange that we weren't told to go to the end of the line.

I've never done a boardwalk balcony but I have done Central Park. For me I prefer to look at the water whereas friends loved the Central Park and booked it again for another cruise. I think its a personal preference. I usually just get an ocean balcony.

Maybe dine in the Windjammer. My husband & I did that on one of our cruises just to give it a try. It was fine and maybe as a solo traveler that doesn't want to sit with strangers, this might be a good thing for you to do. It was fun when the WJ opened, the wait staff cheered us on as we entered.

Strange that so many here are saying they uploaded their vaccination card and still had to show it at the terminal. I was on the Anthem in April and uploaded my card. When I got into the terminal to check in, I took my card out and they said I didn't need to because I already uploaded it. Just had to show my negative test confirmation.

I've never done the Royal Up. Was that $40 pp or $40 pp per day?

Its been so long since I've cruised because of the pandemic that I can't remember this? Leaving on the Anthem tomorrow and I can't remember if there are toiletries or do I need to bring my own. I feel like I'm remembering that they had shampoo, conditioner and body wash hanging in the shower but I'm not positive about that. Anyone on here recently sail the Anthem that can answer this question. We have a balcony cabin if that makes a difference. Thanks!

It has been years since I have cruised on Celebrity. My husband and I have been exclusively cruising on Royal Caribbean and achieved Diamond status which I believe would be Elite on Celebrity. Sadly, my husband passed away last year and a friend and I are contemplating giving Celebrity a try. We are looking at the Summit because we liked the itinerary and it leaves from our home state of NJ. I see on their website that drinks, WiFi and tips are included. Is there a limit on the number of drinks? We aren't crazy drinkers but enjoy them by the pool, shows and in the lounges. Also, what drinks are included? Anyone have any input on the Summit? We love RCCL's large ships...Oasis class and Anthem...but are ok with a smaller ship.
