Which ship will you be on? Recently on Wonder of the seas, the remaining balance displayed with each swipe just like at land based arcades. Haven’t seen this on any of the older ships. After the prepaid credits run out, each game will be charged to the seapass card if charging privileges. If no charging privileges, there is a kiosk where additional credits can be loaded onto the card using cash or credit card.

1. Yes, Anchors Away parade. Can’t recall which days exactly, maybe day 3 and day 6?, check cruise compass once on board as it may change with your sailing. IMHO Best place is cafe promenade or sorrentos so you can sit and relax as you wait. 3. Welcome aboard party first night with midnight balloon drop if you can stay up that late. Variety of others - disco night, etc throughout the week. 7. Small wonders is only on the Oasis I think. Wonder has astronauts in various places. 8. Laser tag 2-3 times during the week when there is not an ice show or free skate. Sign up as soon as you board the ship via the Royal app. No problem also just showing up during the listed time and waiting a bit in the standby line as well. Closed toe shoes needed. Not sure about the rest. Have fun!

Thank you for the detailed review! Given your experience leaving the shop on the last day, what would you recommend? Taxi? Uber? Pre-paid shuttle?

Thank you everyone for your input! Sounds like a perfect storm of school days off, kids sale free, and yeshiva. Googled Yeshiva + Oasis and found that Oasis is having a yeshiva special. Explains why the Solarium Bistro is set aside for “private function” at mealtimes. But the kids seem to be from a wide variety of backgrounds, predominantly North American I would say based on accents, so the first 2 are probably biggest contributors. Great cruise nonetheless!

There are many more elementary school aged children on the Oasis this week than I’ve seen before in mid-January. Is there an American school holiday I don’t know about? Asking as a Canadian who can’t find the answer in google!

Aqua show moved from Day 1 to Day 3
