When we were on oasis beginning of June our assistant waiter who was from India told me that he would love to work as a server in a land based place like Miami but he would have to pay a sponsor like $20k to do that and he cannot afford that. Alot of corporations pay that sponsor fee for those employees when the companies recruit them from other countries. I know that because the partner in the accounting firm that audits our Financials got recruited from India to work in New york and his fee was paid by the company.

Sorry but I have never thought that a waitress should get a "real job". Many people work various jobs and different shifts because of childcare, being a caregiver etc. It's not your place to judge anyone.

I agree with you 110%!! People please think about what % $14.50 for housekeeping 2x a day plus meals is. It's nothing compared to tipping 20% on a dinner if you go out at home. I shake my head at the people who would take the tips off their bill. We do auto pay plus cash at the end.

I totally agree but if your hands are tied...nothing you can do.

We were on oasis 2 weeks ago. Aqua show and ice show not to be missed. Headliner shows very good but they change either weekly or biweekly. Same with adult comedy show. We didn't go to cats. Kids went to portside bbq for lunch. Said it was good. Very reasonably priced. Make all your reservations for restaurants and shows right away. We ate at the hibachi. Very good but very limited seating. Ask your head waiter to get you a reservation. We did was able to get reservation with 20% off.

That happened to us about 5 years ago on one of our rc cruises (forgot which ship). They shortened our time in a few ports. . They gave us some obc for compensation.

My husband and kids ate their for lunch 2 weeks ago. They liked it alot.

Thank you. That is what I did to make calls on the ship. but I wanted to call from the islands also. I think the travel pass only kicked in if I used it on the islands. I'll see when I get my next bill.

We went on oasis Friday June 10th. Got to cape liberty around 11. No problem with parking.

When do you think the best deals are? July 4th, Black Friday, Cyber Monday?

We were on oasis last week. Every show was on unless something happened this week.

What are you talking about?

Did not know that. Thx

What do you have to submit to prove that you own the 100 shares?

And of course, there's the casino. My 2 kids and I played blackjack every night after the shows.

We were on Oasis last week. It was our third cruise on Oasis, 15th on Royal. The ice show and Aqua 80 (diving) shows are not to be missed. The headliners change weekly. One night we had a singer who only sang Adele songs. She was excellent. The music hall had a Styx cover band that played all week and was also excellent. The adult comedy show was so so. I've seen funnier comedians, but they also change weekly. We did not go to see Cats. We live 30 minutes from NYC and I go to Broadway shows often. Had no interest in seeing Cats.

Yes that is true but I think I was covered with the ship's purchased internet.

We were on Oasis last week. I purchased 1 Voom + surf package. I also had Verizon put the Travel Pass on my plan for my phone (I think $10 a day). I needed to keep in touch with my elderly father and mother in law. I haven't seen my Verizon bill yet, but whatever it is, it's worth it for peace of mind.

I believe if you have the diamond members in the separate rooms you would get the balcony discount on each room if you booked balconies. We always book 2 connecting rooms (for the 2 bathrooms) because we go with my 2 adult children. We're all diamond, but my husband and I separate to get any 55+ discounts for both rooms.

I wasn't going on a cruise but same thing happened on jetblue April 1st. I was flying from Newark to Sarasota. I get to the airport and flight was canceled. They put me on flight next morning at 630 am to Tampa. Longboat key is over an hour away. I said no thanks. Had to use $800 of credits on united to get from Newark to Tampa then uber to longboat key for over $100.

Is that per person or per cabin?

Thank you all!

They are all current but 2 of them expire within 6 months of this cruise.

Can we bring our own case of water on the oasis? TiA

We are on oasis this Friday from cape liberty. Is there any reason to bring copies of birth certificates if we all have passports and drivers licenses? TiA
