Rare niksmom630 Posted February 22, 2015 Author #126 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Question for anyone following out there...can you bring your bottle of carry on wine to the MDR and have them store and serve it? DSIL needs to know. Corkage fees? We are doing MTD (grrrrr) if it matters...... Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suep Posted February 22, 2015 #127 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Thanks for taking us along with you! We'll be sailing Oasis August 15 - our first time on this class ship. Seeing your photos is making me anxious! We're flying in the day before and staying at the Embassy Suites; we've done this hotel before and liked the free happy hour and free breakfast.

Royal Caribbean FAQ's confirms there is no corkage fee. So, if I were you, I would take the wine and if thy try to bill your seapass card, pull out the official statement found here: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/customersupport/faq/details.do?pagename=frequently_asked_questions&faqId=5442&faqSubjectId=336 Edited February 22, 2015 by APDMOM typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCWalton1 Posted February 22, 2015 #130 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The shuttle worked out well. We always take a taxi, because I don't like the idea of waiting for shuttles to fill up and being cramped like sardines. There were only 9 people on our shuttle. Included breakfast is a great value, since the buffet was $18 PP! Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app The pictures have been great, really enjoy following along. I agree with the deck 6 midships location. We have done one cruise each on Oasis and Allure and we enjoyed having a cabin in that location for both cruises. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkwing28 Posted February 22, 2015 #131 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Hello, I am a virgin cruiser (wow, haven't used THAT word in a long time - lol) and will be on the Oasis on May 2nd. I really appreciate this post/thread and am eating it up. I assume that the three free drinks you mention are for your Diamond status and not the regular sleps like moi. :D Can you also tell me about other on board activities other than the actual shows. Thanks and btw: your pictures are fantastic. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave85 Posted February 22, 2015 #132 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Aqua theatre this morning There are the nice folding chairs with cup holders alternating rows with bench seating. The folding chairs are more comfortable, but it is easier to take photos from the bench seating because of the railing... Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app 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 imagine you've just sailed away from Nassau. Enjoy your afternoon at sea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare niksmom630 Posted February 22, 2015 Author #136 Share Posted February 22, 2015 A few more pictures for today. We are going to try our first MTD experience this evening, and then we have the Comedy Club, scheduled so it will be full evening. You've probable all seen this photo a hundred times, but it never gets old for me! You can capture this shot from the seating area outside the Wipe Out Cafe I decided to check out the new Diamond Lounge. Since we have the free preloaded beverages on our card, and because DBIL and DSIL are not Diamond yet, I knew we wouldn't be using it, but thought those following along may have an interest in seeing it. They still have not updated signage...showing Wonderland instead of the D lounge First level.... Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare niksmom630 Posted February 22, 2015 Author #137 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The second level...by the way, this is not handicapped accessible. Emergency only exits. Not like anyone would want to sit up here anyway! Bleeech!!! This is so obviously an afterthought, and a poor one at that....nice that they tried to liven the place up with Art Auction stuff 😝 The rules...... Just out of curiosity, why can't you take beverages out of there? I understood the thought process behind it, prior to the drink vouchers, but I saw about three signs, including one on the door advising not to take drinks from the lounge. Maybe is they make this venue as uncomfortable as possible, it'll limit the over crowding. 👍 I'll check back late to answer questions I missed! More later!

Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Last month on Oasis we saw the signage but we watched others take their drinks out right past the concierge without being stopped so we did and were also not stopped. You are right the signs don;t make senses as most evenings we got the same glass of wine at the Schooner Bar with the vouchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCWalton1 Posted February 23, 2015 #143 Share Posted February 23, 2015 My "light" reading for the plane ride down. This was recommended by someone on the photography section of the CC boards. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Chris, Thanks for the book recommendation. I downloaded it to my Kindle and it am already getting a lot out of it. I like how easy it is to understand. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuCruise Posted February 23, 2015 #144 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Took them when we boarded yesterday around 11:30 am Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Great thanks. Note to self...snap pictures on boarding to get photos without people. Love your pictures of Nassau...beautiful. We're on the same itinerary as you on the Allure so am really interested in hearing it all. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beach Baby Posted February 23, 2015 #145 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I live for all these reviews! It has been 5 years since my last cruise. Will be on the Oasis in April and can't wait. My husband thinks I am crazy for spending so much time reading the reviews. He thinks I will be very depressed when it is over. I will just come home and start planning the next one!

Rare niksmom630 Posted February 23, 2015 Author #148 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Good morning! Welcome to day 3. I have more photos to share, but I got a rather late start this morning, and now I am heading out to our M & M, followed by the cabin crawl. It looks like a beautiful sea day! Aqua theatre pool this morning.... Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanrrr Posted February 23, 2015 #149 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hi Can you please tell me how much they charge for shots of rum. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuCruise Posted February 23, 2015 #150 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Have an awesome time at your meet and greet. And how fun to do a cabin crawl! I notice that there are people in pool at the Aqua Theatre pool. Are you allowed to swim there, or is there some special lesson going on (maybe scuba as it looks like they are wearing something)?
