  1. My wife and I along with my parents are looking at cruises for early 2019. Normally we do a JS for each couple, but we have each done single bedroom grand suites on the Oasis twice which were fantastic. We are looking to try something different for this upcoming vacation. I have looked at both the 2 bedroom AquaTheater suite (Oasis-deck8) and a 2 bedroom Grand Suite (Harmony). Both are more than we typically spend, but again, we are looking for something different.

     

    I have looked at the benefits offered with the sky class and star class rooms. After you add the additional expenses with a 2 bedroom Grand Suite that you get with the AquaTheater(drink packages, specialty dining, gratuities), the AquaTheater would be about $700 more per couple.

     

    What it boils down to is the Harmony is a ship none of us have been on. We have cruised the Oasis before, but not this type of room with the star class benefits like the genie.

     

    Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  2. We missed you at the Meet & Mingle!

     

    We dined at 150 CP on our BOGO coupon on night one and were charged $45 for one cover, even though the menu said $40. We were too tired at that point to argue about it - we had done enough grousing about the sky high wine prices. As an example, a glass of Oberon Cabernet on Serenade was $10 in October/November. On this cruise it's $17.:eek: We sat at the Trellis Bar for awhile last night and the bartender said that we were among the few people who hadn't purchased a drink package. One crew member said that Allure had dropped her holiday pricing this week, but Oasis decided to stick with it. We briefly thought of getting a package, but there aren't many wines that we enjoy for less than the $13/glass cap, so we'd be shelling out extra. My liver is thanking RCI for raising prices to the point that we are only ordering one paid glass a day.

     

     

    Has anyone heard if these inflated holiday prices are here to stay for the Oasis or will they be returning to normal soon? We will be on the 1/16/16 cruise and have the premium beverage package. If this particular wine is $17 glass we would be left to pay the difference. I hope there are some good options within the premium beverage package price point.
