Oasis 3/22-29/14, so, so writing, pretty good pictures, very pretty girls!

[caneguy]

The pics from the All Access tour were amazing as were all of your pics! Well done!

 

Thanks so much for your post. Glad you liked the pictures!! Sometime I get lucky taking a picture.

 

Thanks for posting your review. Enjoyed reading it on this Good Friday with nothing to do at work. Why do they make us come in on Fridays before a holiday? Everybody surfing the net. LOL!!

 

Now to go and find your Allure review to help me knock out this last 1 1/2 hours. LOL!!

 

Yes, I worked on Good Friday as well, but was a little busy. Glad I was able to keep you amused for the day!

Usually close the office for the afternoon, but had to much work to finish. Thanks for reading the review. Hope you found the Allure review

No. Too modest! You are very good at taking pictures. I have enjoyed your review also. Some of the clearest and well framed pictures I have seen, plus a review with a sense of fun. Thanks for taking the time.

DAY 7 At Sea

What?!? I though this review was over… well I am sorry it took so long for me to post the final day on this wonderful cruise. Had so much stuff going on, …yada…yada…yada…blah…blah….blah… OK so now you know why, so here goes..

 

Tip for today: Really read over the Compass!. I just noticed when looking at day seven just now that there was a Backstage tour of the of the Opal theater!. I would have loved to do that, but did not notice it when I just glanced at the Compass when I was on board. And use “The Planner” which is a day by day schedule of things going on the Oasis, but not as detailed as the daily Compass.

 

It’s a SALE, SALE, SALE, day on day 7.

Almost every retail store, OK EVERY RETAIL store has a sale on day 7. Some of the stores even have the sign that I always look for when I am shopping in my favorite stores, 50-75% OFF!. The Royal Promenade looked like Sawgrass Outlet Mall, here in South Florida, on day seven. There are T-shirts for $10, Invicta, Citizen, Casio, Fossil watches for up to 70% off, you name it, it was on sale. So I rushed up to the future cruise sales office to see if that was 50% off, but I am sorry to say, no it was not, oh well. Some of the sales did not start until 1 PM, so there were lines outside of the stores waiting for the sale to begin, did you see me waiting in one of them?

 

SO today I did some shopping, walking around the ship one more time and did a double lunch having to finish the cruise with my two favorites, Roast Beef at Park Café, and Tutti Salad in the MDR. For dinner we once again went to 150 Central Park to enjoy the second menu. Both menus were a great experience but I liked the 1st one a little better. (sorry no food porn again).

 

 

We packed up our suitcase and left it out when we went for dinner. Used our carry-on for the last items needed for the night and the next morning. We had a nice breakfast before we left the Oasis on Saturday morning.

 

Some final pictures

So that's about all for this review. I hope you enjoyed the review and got some information to help you plan or want to book a cruise on the Oasis of the Seas!!

[caneguy]

Without a doubt the best pictures I've seen on CC. I've loved them all! Great review, and timely since we leave in a month. Thanks again.

 

THANK YOU so much!! I found out the best way to take a good picture is to take about 1000 and maybe you get a few good ones!

Have a great time on your cruise

 

Congrats to your son, that sounds like quite an honor! :) Thanks for the review, photos are just amazing!!! I am hoping to try Oasis the next year and now the waiting to book is going to be torture. :o

 

He is really excited about his internship! Thanks for reading the review and posting. You will love the Oasis! This was our 3rd time on an Oasis class ship and there are still things I did not get to do on the ship, there is so many activities.

Thanks again for your post. BTW, my older son just returned from his world travel and he LOVED Syndey and Cairns (he did a 3 day dive on the Great Barrier Reef)

Congratulations caneguy on a fantastic review with wonderful photos and such a warm writing style. I know and appreciate the effort and perseverence required to put such a review together. You covered so many things that I missed and I have thoroughly enjoyed following along.

 

As for favourite photo, for the same reason that I loved the one you posted some weeks ago, it is the one below - because it made me think, how did he get that shot?

 

Warn regards

Hello Megacruiser,

Your review and writing style is unmatched!! Thanks so much for reading mine, I learned so much from your review. The shot of the Aqua Theater seating was taken on the All Access Tour and we were able to stand at the back of the stage (with the pool platform raised.

Thank you caneguy for this awesome review, the fact that it took you longer to complete this review prevented me from 'binge' watching but, like a good TV series, also made me anxious for the next 'episode'

Hello once more...

 

I mentioned that a walk up or better yet down the stairs is something that should be done to view the wonderful artwork on the landings between the decks. Here are a few pictures, but they do not come close to the real beauty of the artwork.

 

 

 

[joand452]

Well done! Very enjoyable review and photos. I love the one from the Allure, looking down on to the AT and the wake.

 

Here's a hint for those not going on the All Access Tour (friends said the same thing about working in the laundry) -- if you go on the walking track on Deck 5, go all the way around to the aft. After you've admired the wake and maybe had a little sit-down in one of the teak chairs there, turn around and there will be a window that gives you a great view of the AquaTheater seats. Unless there's a show or rehearsal going on, the curtain should be open. Enjoy!!

[joand452]

I think a few of those deserve framing! Love the black and white one, too!

[Cruzin-K]

Wow! I love the shots through the solarium windows. Just beautiful.

I really like the B&W also. Just did it to see what it would look like and I think it came out really nice. Thanks for reading the review and posting.

Thank you so much! Funny, I was out front and the wind was so bad it was moving my tripod, so I went into the solarium to avoid the wind and got some good shots. Have to be lucky sometimes.

 

thanks fo reading the review and posting that you followed.

[oshoguno]

Awesome black and white shot, how did you do it?
