"LIVE" from the Oasis of the Seas - February 21, 2015

[LuCruise]

Thanks! According to the dining room manager, yes...6-7 is peak time, with many of the shows starting at 9. 7:30-8, it will die down. Last night when we got there there were another 20 people in line on each side again! I kindof felt bad bypassing all of them.

 

Who knows what tonight will bring, but I'm getting into my happy place first!

 

And no, I don't like heights, so the zip line was a definite NO for me....I'm also not particularly graceful, and don't need any injuries with three days remaining! I may try mini golf tho!

Ha ha...totally get you about not wanting injuries. When we go, I want to try the Zipline but am not so sure about the FlowRider for that very same reason.

 

Was it any better last night in terms of getting seated at dinner?

Thank you for this live review. We will be on Oasis on March 28

I think they all need to go take lessons from sister company Celebrity.

 

We loved Celebrity Select dining....never a wait or line and the best food we've had in many a cruise. No dining service issues whatsoever on Reflection.

 

But on Silhouette is was nightmarish.

What a beautiful photo of the pool deck with the morning clouds! Would you mind if I steal for my desktop background?? I'm so looking forward to our Oasis cruise in November and this picture is perfect for my daydreaming moments!!

 

Your live review is absolutely wonderful! I look forward to reading it every day. We also did the Bernard's tour last November and he lived up to all of the hype. It was the most informative and enjoyable day. I really loved the Batik Caribelle tour - so beautiful and you can tell he really knows and loves his home.

Welcome to Day 5! We have our tour with Bernard's today, and we're really looking forward to it.

 

Here are some pics from St. Thomas yesterday. We stayed in the Crown Bay Area..there are a few shops....

Wait a second, that was the same message when I was there in November. :D:p;)

 

Have a great day today.

Really enjoying your report and pictures! We are going on the Oasis March 14 on the Western route! This is helping with my daydreaming while I'm waiting!! Thanks so much!

On oasis in 3 days. Do you have any favorite bar tenders that you can recommend? If so, please also tell me which bar they will be in for next week. Thanks and really enjoying your review and allowing us to join your trip.

Great review and pics.

 

Can you manage some pics of the casino? It looked like you had photos of 3 pools but I thought there were only 2! Maybe it's me?

Thank you for posting about your problem with linked reservations! I decided to check my two reservations to make sure they were linked, and they weren't! That would not have been cool not sitting together with our kids! So thank you!

Packing is completed and I'm ready to hit the hay in order to be top of my game at 0 dark thirty. Thanks to those of you already following along for all the nice comments!

 

My poor pups have been following me around all evening. For all you pet lovers out there, I'm sure you can relate. As soon as the suitcases come out, they become Klingons in anticipation of your departure.

 

 

I'm fortunate to have an awesome dog sitter who is also a vet tech. Ready for this vacation to begin and feeling great about the fact that all of mine will be well taken care of while we are gone!

We are now just pulling out of St. Maarten...it was an AMAZING day, but I think I have definitely over served myself!!!🍺🍹🍺😝

 

Our Bernard's tour was fabulous...I'll report more tomorrow, and catch up with my backlog of photos 😄

4 pools, and yes, I'll try and capture some pictures of the casino that's been robbing me blind!

Were you able to find out how much a shot of rum costs? Thanks

[adjjb12]

Your dogs are the cutest!

 

That's for your live review, booking soon and the MTD scares me. Not what I'm used to with cruising.

last cruise i was on it was between $5.75 and $7.50.

enjoying your posts from the Oasis...

Not the flow rider. The small circular pool that is elevated and has a current circulating. It is partially enclosed with clear glass sides.

Very intersting, Chef's Table has comeback. Maybe because Wonderland got the axe? It was not in the SL/CK in November. Now that the Diamond Lounge has taken over the old CL on both levels, Chef's Table had to go somewhere.

Wonderland got the axe on Oasis?? Has this been officially announced??

[Grandma Petania]

Loving your review and excellent pictures! I've been on Oasis twice before, third time coming up in May, and I've always wondered about the seating in the Aqua Theater. The bench rows are so terribly uncomfortable, and I never really understood why they didn't just use the lovely colorful beach chairs throughout all the rows!

I am here on my 3rd Oasis cruise, and I vastly prefer the wooden benches. I tried the chairs on 1st cruise and found them very uncomfortable. Glad there is still the option of the booden benches, with decent back support.

[A&L_Ont]

Wonderland got the axe on Oasis?? Has this been officially announced??

 

Yes, in a RCL type of way. The Diamond Lounge has now been moved there from what had been its new location post dry dock on deck. It had been in part of a side wing of the dining room. With DD not being rolled out I understand that they reclaimed the dining room space on deck 4 for table area.

 

We were on Oasis in November and all continued changes were going forward at that point. Once DD dining was put on hold for the Oasis class ships, due to its poor implementation on Quantum, wonderland was scrapped.

 

Here is a thread with with photos that show the new lounge in the old CL location. The thread explains it better than my quick explanation. Photos are on the second page.

8-10 dollars, depending on what you order, if you ask for a drink "topper", it is $2 extra

Yes, the wave pool in the H20 zone is working 😄

Thank you for the review and the photos.:):)

Welcome to Day 6! This mornings post will be mostly photos from our Day in St. Maarten. It took less than two minutes to upload 25 photos! This makes live reporting a breeze! 😊😊😊

 

We did a private Bernard's Tour. We were off the ship at 8:15...my only complaint was we spent some time wandering around trying to locate our pick up point, but other than that snafu, it was a fabulous day!

 

We had a little shower coming in yesterday, but the rest of the day was beautiful!

 

 

There were only supposed to be two ships in port today according to cruise timetables, but this P & O ship showed up
