dzboss1 Posted July 19, 2010 Author #153 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Need to get to the casino and meet hubby, but have to repeat again not just how wonderful this ship is, but how wonderful it is to cruise! But cruising on this ship is just another story! The crew really is fantastic. I pass no one without their smiling and saying hello. We even have a handful that know our names already. Makes it so homey!! Tomorrow is a sea day. I plan on being on deck by 9 to get a chair and stay there until noon. But I won't be "out there" the whole time. At 10:15 I am going to Dazzles (which is a cool place) for my Meet and Mingle. Won't stay too long as the sun and pool await! At 12:30 I will go to the Hairspray dance class while hubby is going to the blackjack tourney. The rest of the day is open at this moment. Dinner at 6 in the MDR Tomorrow night is the comedy show at 9:30 Love and Marriage (would love to be in it again!!) is at 10:30 Guess what? Tomorrow I wake up and I am STILL on the Oasis!! And you guys are still hanging with me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suesrn3 Posted July 19, 2010 #161 Share Posted July 19, 2010 DD goes to Salem State. Are you flying out of Boston? No we are flying out of Providence. I hate Boston and avoid it if at all possible. We are flying in the day before but haven't booked the hotel yet. Are you on the roll call thread? We should meet up at sometime during the cruise. We are going with another couple. My husband and I are on deck 12 CP balcony room and our friends are on deck 12 outside balcony room. And I definetely want to find the secret place.......:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of cruisers recommend the Hyatt Regency Pier 66. Most of the hotels in that area are a quick taxi ride to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuddles14 Posted July 19, 2010 #163 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Thank you so much for the heads up on the cans....I did see pics of some fruit juices (2 choices)...if you try them let me know how they are...may just forgo the soda :( I live for my coke, but hate cans LOL CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH for your posts....enjoying them sooooo. ENJOY YOUR TIME ON BOARD Dot, if you are inquiring about the soda package, we had it on our cruise, and it is NOT cans. It is soda fountain. We had a Coca Cola stamp on our card and there was a Coca Cola (water type) thermas in our room when we arrived. You could just hand this to any bartender, or any venue that offered soda and have it filled or just present your card and was given a glass of soda.

dfishner Posted July 19, 2010 #164 Share Posted July 19, 2010 When I first started reading this thread I kept saying what is this woman on LOL now I want to go on a cruise with her, what a ball of energy and you know she is having the time of her life.. This thread has turned out to be a real treat espcially since we will be going on Oasis in November. I am looking forward to it but reading this thread has me actually excitied.

suesrn3 Posted July 19, 2010 #165 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Oh before I forget....... 150 Central Park menu is.....in order of the courses..... Gazpacho (lobster) Duck Confit Basil Dusted Halibut Spring Pea Risotto Steak and Potato Upside Down Peach Cake First let me say....your excitement has really rubbed off on me! I am soooo excited. Hate the thought of it getting here, then it will be over so quickly! :( Thank you so much this is my favorite thread!! I would love to try 150 central park, that menu looks great to me, but my husband, not so much. So I guess I will have to let it go, too much money for my husband to just eat the steak! He would not even try anything else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you - yes the Soda Pkg is what I am talking about. We have had this on RCC before and it was great. On Carnival the soda pkg was CANS - hated it. Only want it if it is NOT cans.

GSuitesailing Posted July 19, 2010 #167 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Denice, I am guessing you are by the pool or at your M&M now. Hope you enjoy both. How was dinner at Giovanni's Table last evening? Hope you & your husband make it on the Love & Marriage show again! Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieva Posted July 19, 2010 #168 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I don't know if you've already mentioned this but if so I couldn't find it. What type of room do you have and could you tell us a little about it? Thanks and hope you have a wonderful time on your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailingawaysoon Posted July 19, 2010 #169 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I'm loving your daily updates. We can't wait to be on her in September. It sounds like you are having a blast. I just reserved all our shows this morning and it really fueled the excitement of our upcoming cruise. Could you tell me where the Crowne Plaza is located that you mentioned staying precruise? I'm looking for a nice place to make our reservation. Also, can't wait to hear how the food was in Givonnis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzboss1 Posted July 19, 2010 Author #170 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Hi everyone! Sorry I didn't post this morning...no internet service..and the pool was waiting for me very early! I did not read any of your posts...jsut came right to here because I have to get to the Hairspray dance class. I will catch up on your posts later and post more later also. Last night...without details... dinner at Giovannis was good aquashow was very good Was at the pool this morning at 8am and there were some of the same people I sat with from yesterday! Except for going to the Meet and Mingle at 10:30 to about 11....I stayed at the pool until almost noon. The winds are high so the water in the pool was slooshing away but it was fun and wonderful! The sun was bright, the mango tango cold, and the conversations great! Sorry...have to run.....more about 4ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffett fan Posted July 19, 2010 #172 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I just found this thread today...and am already anticipating the next update. Thanks so much!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzboss1 Posted July 19, 2010 Author #173 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I have yet to read your posts...I promise I will later. Hubby and I are in the concierge lounge on the 11th floor eating a delicious ice cream sundae. He got his after mine, so when he is done...we are on the move again. So last I posted I was heading to the hairspray dance class. I was hoping I could do it, but the moves would have torn my healing acl reconstruction in two, so I opted to watch and somehow it was just as much fun!! Plus it is at the Aqua theater on the boardwalk, which is just such a cool place to be! I went to the Windjammer, which seems tiny and with fewer selections compared to even the Explorer, but I am sure that is because there are soooo many lunch choices on this ship. I wasn't that hungary, so I grabbed some fruit and a roll and was off! Watched hubby in the Black Jack tournament (he lost) then we strolled the promenade stores. Even day 3, there is enough people I can pass and know and we wave or stop and chat. It "seemed" to be ice cream time, so back to the Boardwalk for the sundae. There is a trivia contest at 3 we may go to, and then I may.....hmmmmm...take a nap!!!! Of course that will be before or after I read all the posts from all of you. I have to say (again) that this ship is AMAZING!!! How can people not want or know about the wonderful world of cruising. I am not talking about if you can't afford it, but if you have a vacation choice, you just HAVE to fit cruising in your life. So many choices onboard...makes your head spin. PLus......I LOVE THIS SHIP!!!! We are off......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annefran Posted July 19, 2010 #174 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Denise, Thanks so much for posting LIVE. This is absolutely wonderful. We are booked for the Oasis for Thanksgiving this year and DD's 18th birthday. We want to eat one of the speciality restaurants for her birthday. Which one would you recommend? We also have a Central Park Balcony cabin booked. Have you been able to see the inside of one of those cabins, if so what was your impression? Thanks! And have a great time!

dzboss1 Posted July 19, 2010 Author #175 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Having some rain so a perfect time to post. Ms Dot ~~~ thrilled to have the company! bluehorizon and Caribear~~~ ty Amethyst365 ~~~ The aqua show was great and I saw your son!! Boy is Jesse good!! Those twists when he dives are amazing!! Ocean ~~~ walking thru Central Park is thrilling... a breathtaking experience...the sounds of the birds and chirping of the crickets makes you forget (again) that you are on a ship! It of course is warm out there when we are docked and the sun is out, but there is a wind when moving. It's just like being outside because you are! dfishner ~~~you are too funny! I am just me being me!! suern3 ~~~ TY!!!!!! Dixie ~~~ I have a D1 on deck 12. I have had 4 Owner's suites (when we took the kids) and JS for us the other times. Prices were much higher, so we went for the D1 this time and it is fine. We are never in it except to dress, sleep or mostly to post!! It really has everything we need. *************************************************** Giovannis was good. I can't rave, nor will I complain (we all have different tastes...a few things were very good and a few were just ok. But I am sure that is just our tastes). I don't expect perfection all the time. I am so happy to be on a cruise and on this ship that I won't sweat the small stuff and won't send any bad vibes on anything. We did get a window seat and loved looking out to Central Park. Service was great! The aqua show was so much fun. Still can't believe what you get to see on this ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
