Glad you are all safe … Have a safe voyage.

The entertainment on the RCCL Oasis class is outstanding! (Broadway shows, Aqua Theater shows, Ice Skating shows) I have only cruised on three TA voyages on the Oasis class and was never board. Love the classical music venue on HAL! Also, I’m a 80’s gal and have fond memories being in high school during the time when MTV all began. The itineraries brings us back to HAL! Although, we have been sailing a lot on Celebrity abroad and many TA/TP.

I prefer sparkling water and use a Soda Stream at home. What sparkling water is included in the classic package?

Thanks for the heads up! I too was able to upgrade for $10.00 on my cruise in October… Now, I hope there is another sale for the following cruise in November.

Call Celebrity guest relations to retrieve your medical records. After each voyage, all medical records are scanned and uploaded into the main server at the headquarters. Then the paperwork is shredded once received in the main system.

I have an Independence of the Seas Crystal block and would love to trade for a Radiance of the Sea crystal block. Please email me at Whirlybird2 at hotmail dot com if interested.

Does anyone have an extra Radiance of the Seas block? Please PM me at whirlybird2 at hotmail dot com.

Yes! And it was wonderful on those windy rough sea days ... We can actually enjoy the balcony. The forward view was nice.

We were able to call via basic wifi on the Edge in October and on the Millennium during a transpacific crossing & in Asia pre-COVID.

Thank you! How fast is the basic vs stream? Is there a big difference?

Oh my goodness!!! The ship doctor was correct on the diagnosis and referred you to ashore for medical cree that was not available on the ship. Unfortunately, the hospital was a huge disappointment and thank heavens to were able to fly home safely and receive the care you needed. I remember looking into Med-Jet in the past, however I think there are restrictions that does not cover COVID diagnosis if you were sailing on a cruise ship. I agree to look into independent and also read the fine print ... Especially when it comes to cruising.

The ship has to go through US coast guard inspection then all crew have to go through immigration before anyone disembarks. The crew are usually up at 0400 going though immigration.

Thank you for all of your posting and photos! Do you know if this class of ship is still offering Elite breakfast and cocktail hour? It was something we have enjoyed in the past.

Wow! I would never have though of using a voucher for a yummy shake at JR.

How do you claim for the five drinks? Do you ask the bar tender to deduct the drink from your sea pass and not charge you? Also, I can not recall how much is a mojito ... Will a mojito qualify as a complimentary drink?

The front desk and infirmary has complimentary sea sickness pill (meclizine). If that does not work, you may consider in going to the infirmary for a prescription of Zofran (for nausea) or a stronger medication would be phenagran (for nausea but will defiantly make you sleepy)

We loved sailing on the Connie from Abu Dhabi to Rome. Question: How is the Persian Garden? Are the ceramic seating still heated? We were disappointed that the Millennium's ceramic seating is no longer heated.

Not sure as my husband had the same for his green tea. We could have had the same in the lido buffet without the charge. Edge 😞

I just noticed that the Cafe al Bacio is now serving Bigelow tea. 😮

If I go to the slot machine and load it with onboard credit, play one slot, then cash it out …. Will there be a service fee? I like handing out cash to the crew for their exceptional service.

For those guest who have had COVID within 190 days, a Dr Note of recovery and proof of positive test will be accepted in place of testing?

Interesting ... Keep us updated and wishing you to stay well. Curious ... What is the cruise line currently doing for those who are testing positive? Are they still designating a certain deck to isolate?

Thank you. We will be spending one night in Rome after our cruise, then flying out the following morning. Just trying to plan the transportation time. The first leg will be from FCO to Frankfurt, so hopefully the screen process will be seamless.

My husband and I are traveling to FCO and then flying out of FCO after our cruise. What has been your experience in checking in and wait times though security? We are trying to plan on how many hours to arrive to the airport.

How about back to back cruise COVID testing requirement to test? Will the COR apply?
