debshomespun Posted March 12, 2010 #451 Share Posted March 12, 2010 hi radiojaxflygirl here..leaving on Oasis April 3. This will be our 2nd east. car.cruise, last may was eastern on Freedom. Last year we went to Megans Bay and loved it but hear that Trunk Bay, St John is even more awesome and worth the trip. Any suggestions? Also, we went to Orient beach in St. Martin last year, did a complete island tour also went to Maho. this year wondering about going back to Orient Beach or Pineal Island. Thanks for your advice. Glad you are having a great time. I am enjoying your ship photos! :) lisa Trunk Bay over at St. Johns is absolutely beautiful, well worth the trip. We went last Nov. from our NCL Dawn trip, and rented a car for the day and drove around the island. St. John's is a very beautiful island, with beautiful beaches! Here is a picture overlookig trunk bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
u2cruiser Posted March 12, 2010 #452 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Thank you for this brilliant thread Radio. It has answered so many of my questions about the Oasis, one of them being does Central Park attract any wildlife. Great to see the butterfly. Any other wildlife spotted? I didn't think I wanted to travel to FL from the UK again for another Caribbean cruise to islands i've already been to, when there are so many other itineraries to try, but I so want to be on that ship. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine the thoughts of other cruise ship passengers, as this incredible Ship arrives in Nassau today ! Here are some pics from this morning. Pics from our arrival in Nassau wil be up later today . . . Thanks for tuning in. . . This cruise is not over until I say so ! ! Radio The Diamond Lounge on Deck 6 FWD There is a nice view of the Royale Promenade from the Diamond Lounge Will the sun come out today. . . It looks like it might be trying. . .

negc Posted March 12, 2010 #456 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Radio, I'm confused........what shows have to be booked?? I'm just used to getting tickets for the ice shows, what other shows do you have to reserve on the Oasis? Loving your pictures! Patty Hairspray, the production shows, the AquaTheater show, celebrity headliners, and the Comedy Club shows require reservations, which you can make on line before you leave for your cruise, but as others have said, if you do not have reservations and there are still seats available about five minutes before showtime (which is usually the case), you will be able to see the show. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patty There are no shows that MUST be booked, however you can get reservations for many shows on line prior to your cruise. . . You can Pre Book Hairspray, Oasis of Dreams, the Comedy Show(s), Frozen In Time (Ice Show)and Come Fly with Me. This can be done 90 days before your sailing. But if you forget, there is no worries. You should be able to get to any show because there are alot of no shows. If you are unable to pre book online. You can do so onboard at the Box Office.

TrishOB Posted March 12, 2010 #465 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Radio, were you able to find out if Starbucks or Mondo serves chai? We're most likely going to be sailing on Allure, rather than Oasis, but I imagine if one ship has chai, the other will as well. Love your posts and your photos.

LisaH Posted March 12, 2010 #466 Share Posted March 12, 2010 We will be on the Oasis in November and my TA called yesterday and Nassau is now the first stop instead of the last. Works great as I would rather have two sea days in a row at the end of the cruise. Can't wait! This is the Nov. 6th sailing - not sure about other sailings of if this is a permanent change. Someone else wrote in that St. Maarten and St. Thomas will be very crowded when we are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaH Posted March 12, 2010 #467 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Radio, love the pic of the butterfly - you must have picked up a stowaway in one of the ports. :) Or it was a cocoon when the flowers were planted and was born en route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From where you're docked I guess you'll need to get a cab over to Paradise Point Tramway near Havensight Mall, or you could just buy the excursion from the ship.
