2chiefs Posted February 2, 2018 #251 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Does anybody know when the Prohibition event usually occurs?? Is it the same for every sailing or does it change every sailing? It doesn't say what day or what time on the RCI website (presumably due to the "secretive" nature of the event). Since it will set us back $35 pp, having an approximate time would be nice to know for planning purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you post what itinerary you are on, perhaps we can find a Cruise Compass that will list the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travellink Posted February 2, 2018 #256 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Can you bring soda onboard if you put a luggage tag on it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted February 2, 2018 #257 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Can you bring soda onboard if you put a luggage tag on it ? I would not try that at Port Canaveral. I would either carry it on, or put it in some luggage. Porters at Port Canaveral have been known to refuse obvious cases of water and soda.

We are on the March 11 Oasis sailing (eastern Caribbean) and the Cruise Planner shows the Prohibition Event on Day 4 which is the evening after our day in St. Maarten. Hope that helps!

Hope that helps! So it was in the cruise planner. Someone had told me they didn't publish it. Our day 4 is a port day so perhaps ours will be day 5.

MTCruiserToo Posted February 4, 2018 #260 Share Posted February 4, 2018 So it was in the cruise planner. Someone had told me they didn't publish it. Our day 4 is a port day so perhaps ours will be day 5. We are on the last day of our cruise, and it was definitely in the cruise compass. The paper is already packed, but I can check when we get home. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joand452 Posted February 10, 2018 #263 Share Posted February 10, 2018 No self-service laundry facilities, however. And no irons allowed on board. I know steamers aren't allowed, either, but reports may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peg1130 Posted August 30, 2018 #265 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Our first time on the Oasis too! We’re looking forward to exploring and using some of these tips. Question...is there a do-it -yourself laundry on board or do you know the price of the laundry service? We’re taking few days before and after and I hate to take enough clothes for 2 weeks! Thanks!

Tracey Posted September 2, 2018 #271 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Forward elevators...use the forward elevators at peak times.....never had a line......though I should keep that one to myself.... Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk And decks 8 Central Park and deck 5 Promenade and deck 4 although you have to walk through the smokey casino are the decks you can walk through or the stateroom decks or pool decks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Posted September 2, 2018 #272 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Whatever you do, try not to do it all. Sailed Oasis 3 times (2 7-days and the 13-day Transatlantic) and still don't feel like I've done it all. Our first time, we tried to do everything and it wore us out - didn't feel rested after the vacation! Just go with the flow and if you love her as much as we do, book her again and try some different experiences. I do wonder if the gnomes are still in Central Park, though.... A must-see. :) I agree we didn't see everything and we were so tired. I sailed August 19 and didn't see gnomes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Posted September 2, 2018 #273 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I was very surprised to learn that the Oasis class ships only have 2 sets of elevators! I've been on much smaller ships that have forward, midship, and aft elevators/stairs. Never really a problem except at prime times of dinner and shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Posted September 2, 2018 #274 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Following! Totally love hearing these great suggestions! Thanks especially for the breakfast ideas and the hidden shuffle board court!Sailing in 24 days! Annette~ More breakfast ideas are solarium Bistro and Park Café. We were in a grand suite and ate I think 6 breakfasts in the Coastal Kitchen, the only day not was Cozumel because we had a 8:15 shore excursion time and messed up setting alarm, sometimes hard to keep track of ship's time and to correlate to set my AM alarm.

Tracey Posted September 2, 2018 #275 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Make sure you look into all the "small wonders." They're all around the ship -- some look like upside brass telescopes and others like chrome binoculars. Lots of little surprises in them. I know for sure there's one at the aft entrance to the Casino -- a brass one and another chrome one near the Rising Tide bar (maybe Allure?) or at least on the Royal Promenade somewhere. Guest Services may or may not have a list. I always forget to ask for one, and I'm sure I've missed some. We were just getting ready to go on Oasis for the third time a year ago. Wish we were going again, but getting ready to book Harmony! Happy Sailing! I loved these, wish I had realized them sooner as I was trying to get pictures, I wish there was a list/map as well.
