BugsyCruiser Posted May 9, 2016 Author #276 Share Posted May 9, 2016 HI - your post was around 8 AM - how early does one need to get there to best beat the crowds? Same question if you (or anybody else) do the 'Jammer for breakfast. I'm plenty friendly, but not in the AM before coffee. Thanks You'll be fine arriving at 8 am Sent from my LG G5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkvillain Posted May 9, 2016 #280 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I see you had Simeon to introduce the comedians, what a funny guy!:) Agreed! I thought he was as funny if not more funny than the comedians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted May 9, 2016 #281 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Agreed! I thought he was as funny if not more funny than the comedians. We talked to him a bit on our Oasis cruise and he did admit that some comedians get a bit irritated with him if he's too funny in the intro.

Luvmypups Posted May 9, 2016 #285 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Do the comedians in the comedy club do the same show all week or do they do different shows or change out the comedians? Couldn't remember from my previous trip. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't remember from my previous trip. Same two comedians doing the same material, with some minor variations depending on the audience.

I always loved singing voice. Before TV, my mother always turned the radio on for his 15 minute show. Makes me realize how old I am!

traveler111 Posted May 9, 2016 #293 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I am seriously considering a cruise on the Oasis of the Sea. Since I have never been on such a large ship I am wondering if it seems crowded. Thanks for an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulette3028 Posted May 9, 2016 #294 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I am seriously considering a cruise on the Oasis of the Sea. Since I have never been on such a large ship I am wondering if it seems crowded. Thanks for an answer. We sailed on Allure, the sister to Oasis, and it was crowded in some venues at some times....but overall I never had that crowded 'feeling'. We generally are early risers. I often go to the gym first especially on sea days. The gym would be busy, but not so crowded that I could not do what I wanted. Sometimes getting a treadmill was a little challenging....but I do so much walking on board, that wasn't a big deal. There are plenty of breakfast areas, so you can minimimize the WJ if at the time you go it is more crowded than you would like. Even though you reserve your shows (or you should) there still was a line to get into the theater since seats are not reserved....but this was not a big deal either. Other venues like the Aqua Theater or Flowrider (for example) can be more crowded at various times....but if you are going on the Flowrider the line moves quickly. We found that if you like to attend Karaoke, get there early because seats in the On Air lounge do fill up quickly and early.....and Karaoke, is a blast and we enjoy it, so we do get there early. You will find a balance of what you like to do, and how to balance the fact that many other people may enjoy the same things that you do at the same time. But I never felt as if I was in a crowd.

jagsfan Posted May 9, 2016 #295 Share Posted May 9, 2016 We felt uncrowded enough that we're going again. I don't recall feeling any more crowded than on any other ship, large or small. And I love Terminal 18 for embarkation, one of the best organized ever. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the crew we have a total of 8300 people on board and o have wondered many times already where are all these people?

Peeker28 Posted May 9, 2016 #297 Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) Agree, when we went the ship really never seemed overly crowded. I don't think it was anymore crowded than Indy Edited May 9, 2016 by Peeker28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pratique Posted May 9, 2016 #299 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Elevators seem to be the pinch points, even with 24 elevators they seemed to stop at almost every deck most of the time and there are a lot of decks to stop at. On the other hand the stairwells were very quiet lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaspercat Posted May 9, 2016 #300 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Felt the promenade 'crowded' on Sea Day's -- especially when there was the purse / watch / t-shirt sales on. Wasn't crowded in the sense you couldn't make your way from one end to the other -- you just had to make some zigs and zags to get there.:) The solarium is busy on Sea Days as are all the pool areas -- typical for any ship though.
