LIVE(or at least my best attempt) from the Oasis Of The Seas, sailing October 13th

The buffet for the officers and crew

 

 

Margret, our tour guide for the crew areas. You are not allowed in the gym area or crew quarters. From what she told us, they are small cabins for two crewmembers with bunk beds. Here we are in the training room

Up to the bridge. Here we have Gary, one of the officers, showing us one of the wing stations they use to maneuver in and out of ports

So cool to meet Captain Patrik. He came over to chat with us for a few minutes

Thanks for tuning in everyone! :)

Wonderful to see some pictures I have never seen before. Great job and thank you. All of your time and efforts are greatly appreciated. Can you just imagine how full those storage areas are at the beginning of a cruise instead of near the end? Wow!

[janetz]

Any luck in the casino during your cruise? What's the minimum on the tables? Did you play in any of the tournaments?

[MagentaandRiffRaff]

We are truly getting not only a cruise but a major tour of the ship! Thanks for all your wonderful words and photos! :):):)

Not really. I didn't lose a bundle but RCCL does have some extra cash now to put towards building the Sunshine class. :D

 

Did not play the tables or a tournament.

[BugsyCruiser]

Dinner at Izumi in one hour. I'll try to get some pictures of the food there. Here's one picture from the laundry facilities that did not post for some reason and instead was a double post of one of the engine control room photos

I'm sorry, I've never heard of the Valet Luggage Service. Can someone tell me what it is? Thanks.

It's a service that you sign up for before midnight on Wednesday. What happens is when you set your luggage out the night before arriving at Fort Lauderdale, the luggage is sent from the ship, cleared through U.S. customs and then sent to the airline to load directly on your flight. You don't have to pick it up at the RCCL terminal and carry it around through customs, to a taxi, and check in at the airport. The next time you will see it is when you arrive at your home airport. You will also get your boarding pass for your flight the last afternoon of your cruise

Lori, its a program with airlines you sign up on board and then up out your bags and dont see them until get get to your home airport. We have used it, it was great. No looking for luggage and just walked out with our carryons. I think its $20 unless you are diamond or above.

 

Cris,Thanks for the great review! I am sure Radio will be proud!

[CruiseCouple02]

I just wanted to stop by and say thanks Chris for doing such a great review! Ill be boarding tomorrow as you disembark... thanks for keeping tabs on Lady O for the week! I have enjoyed your reporting thoroughly! It made this last week of work before my cruise more bearable! :D

[finallyonboard]

Chris, before seeing your photos, I would have never paid $150 for that tour. But after your photos, I will definitely do it at some point. Thanks

[lounger]

Chris, enjoy your last night on the beautiful Oasis of the Seas. I enjoyed your review this week! I almost felt like I was there

[TraceyB]

Great review. Can wait we sail next week on the Oasis. Your pictures have really been really helpful.
