cruising grandma Posted January 25, 2017 #27 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Pat(and Bucky), enjoying your review.....but wish I were onboard Oasis with y'all, enjoying even more! I was actually tired of cruising after our December ones, but am back ready to go, now!:) When I was on Allure in October, I had breakfast a couple of mornings and lunch a few times at Park Cafe. John and I enjoyed Johnny Rockets for breakfast on Oasis. Can't wait to hear about CK from you! I'm thinking of booking Harmony for our "free PC cruise". :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we will see you soon.:):) Sweet! Yes, some day soon I hope our paths will cross again. Have a fantabulous time on Harmony! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted January 25, 2017 Author #33 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Continuation of day three: Made sure we did not leave that extra bottle of bubbly on ice get lonely in it's bucket. ;) We enjoyed it as we were now treated to beautiful weather and calm seas on our approach to San Juan. Freedom, in all her beauty, was welcoming us in to join her at the dock. She indeed looked good! Nice thing was that we were on the port side, which had the best view as we came in. With the sun was getting low in the sky, it lit up the fort and buildings with a white glow. Very surreal. Then we were treated to a fabulous sunset from that side as we were docking. DH went ashore briefly, as I got ready for happy hour and dinner. DL was once again almost empty by the time we went in at 6 pm. No problem getting a seat and sat with same couple, joined once again by others. Another good time was had by all. :D 7:30 was our first time at CK. About half full. Very good service. I had the fish..but it was incredibly fishy. Still feeling that burger from lunch, so I just ate my appetizer and was happy. DH enjoyed his pasta. Heads up to JS pax...DH and I came in with our glasses of wine from the DL, then as our glasses were getting to low tide...waiter came up and asked if we wanted them topped off. Sure...it was still happy hour time. Then they presented us with a 14.00 a piece bill. And that was for house wine. :eek: Got us on that one. Lesson learned. :( Back to the cabin to enjoy the rest of the beautiful evening and view over the port. Feeling the bubbly and wine ...it was off to sleepy land. Never even woke up when we set sail again around midnight. Yeah, real party girl, eh? ;) Next up: Day four Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted January 25, 2017 Author #35 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Start of day four: (St. Thomas) The egg mystery continues. Indeed middle tables had the sign "fresh scrambled eggs"....but one was plain and the other had the dreaded peppers in it. Not something I am fond of, so no report on the scramble quality yet. Went up to the egg station, though not made to order, they always have fresh fried eggs and pre made omelettes. Good again, and once again worked for me. Love poached eggs, but only found them on day two. They are mysteriously missing since then. :( WJ opened at 7 am, and was already nuts with pax when we went in at 7:05. Common on an early port day. Only one side open, and food was disappearing very quickly. Long line just for coffee. Only one coffee and juice station. Strange for such a big ship. Even Radiance series has bigger WJ, three coffee stations and much more seating. Actually wanted to go to Solarium Cafe, but was listed as closed for both breakfast and lunch today. Not sure why. At least the DL coffee machine has been working well so far, and as usual enjoy that morning Latte. DH Bucky loves the "kick butt" coffee with two shots of espresso. Beautiful view and weather once again as we silently slid into port. One ship next to us, Viking Star. Plan to explore on our own walking tour today. I Googled the area and did some digging on restaurants in the area. Will zero in on a Sushi restaurant on the water going towards town. At least get some fresh fish finally! I am now up to date, and captain has just let us know we are cleared by customs and may proceed ashore. Next up: Continuation of day four. Hope I am not boring you all. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted January 25, 2017 #36 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Pat if you happen to be wandering the halls and go past room 680 starboard side aft past the aft elevators can you let me know if there is a service door right across from that room?? Thanks I don't think it matters what deck. If there's a service door on one deck I believe it will be on all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted January 25, 2017 Author #37 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Johnny Rockets is free for breakfast and does fresh omelets. Troy-There is an great breakfast menu in CK. You will love it! You can get eggs any way you want and the buttermilk/blueberry pancakes are to die for, or anyway, were on HOTS. Thanks! :) Will check it out. Problem for us is they open so late (8:00 on port days and 8:30 during sea days). We are early risers and like to eat early before "walkies". Of course being "old farts" we eat dinner early also, so we wake up hungry. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted January 25, 2017 Author #38 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Pat if you happen to be wandering the halls and go past room 680 starboard side aft past the aft elevators can you let me know if there is a service door right across from that room?? Thanks I don't think it matters what deck. If there's a service door on one deck I believe it will be on all of them. No problem. We are mid ship port side (#11236). Really nice location, middle of the hump out and super convenient to the DL for coffee and refreshing adult beverages. Will go check out 680 now on deck 11 and report back in a bit. :) Edited January 25, 2017 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I don't think it matters what deck. If there's a service door on one deck I believe it will be on all of them. Just checked out cabin 680 here on deck 11. No service door next to or across from it. A small access panel, but that's it. Talked to a couple going into their cabin across the hallway. She said she heard what sounded like pipes banging, but just on the first night (during the storm). Otherwise they love the location so near the elevators and stairs.

cruising grandma Posted January 25, 2017 #41 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I think we met at the meet and mingle on allure? Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk Quite possible, but sorry I don't remember.:o I didn't receive an invitation, but knew someone who did. He had told me wrong time, so I came in very late(said "Hi!" to Katie, activities staff, I remembered from Freedom) I went quickly on down to welcome back show in the aqua theater, where I saw another ex Freedom bar manager! I've cruised on Freedom many times, and like Pat, she's my favorite ship! Keep cruising, and I'm sure we'll run into each other again!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubrrick Posted January 25, 2017 #42 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Happy New year Pat and Bucky. I'm loving following you on your cruise. We were aboard over Christmas, ate most of our dinners in the CK, once in Chops, and a couple of lunches in the Park Cafe, for their famous Kummelwick roast beef sandwiches. Miss you both!:) Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted January 25, 2017 Author #45 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Found the sushi restaurant, quite a bit of a walk through interesting territory, but hey..we tend to be adventurous. Had a bar/table seat directly looking over the water with our ship across the harbor. Fantastic bottle of "Kiwi SB"..(New Zeeland Sauvignon Blanc) with two talently made sushi rolls. Then the waitress let us feed their "pets". Huge Tarpon roaming back and forth along the seawall. Place is called Enkai. Tough to find but so worth the hunt! Bucky bought a wild bright green tropical shirt at one of the local port vendors, then we returned to the ship to enjoy the afternoon on our balcony. No chair hogs to deal with here. ;). Next up...evening report of day four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scsagh Posted January 25, 2017 #46 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Enjoying your review, Pat! Thanks for taking the time to post. We are on the Oasis Eastern itinerary Feb. 5th. This will be our first time on an Oasis class ship, and our friends' first ever cruise. Did you happen to hear of any one going to Chops for the First Night Done Right? We were hoping that might be an option. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
