Just Returned from Oasis 7/22

[John&LaLa]

That really is too bad if you believe that the shows are a major part of your cruising. I get it.

We rarely go to any of the shows so this would not made any impact on us.

Did they offer any kind of OBC for the cancellations for a big part of what they offer for entertainment?

 

The elevators and cushion could happen anywhere but in addition to the shows which were important to you, it may have been a bigger deal at the time.

Hope your next cruise goes better for you. :)

Oasis has had issues with aft elevators since last fall at least. I'm a big fan overall, but elevators are awful.

Ha Ha Ha. This is the funniest post I’ve read in a very long time. Thanks for posting.:):cool:

He's setting himself up to be very unhappy.

 

Been worrying about all kinds of things for the past week

They better fix all of this before I cruise on the Oasis in November, or I'll be marching into the Captain's personal quarters to ask him what kind of jury-rigged excuse of a ship he's running!

I thought that you were going to be spending all of your time in the casino?

Oh...I'll make time to exert my cruiser privilege, commandeer the ship, crown myself admiral, and open up the bars for everyone.

 

Also, why do you want me to e-mail you?

That's my signature. It's not directed at anyone in particular.

My husband and I were on this cruise. We had the aqua show scheduled at the beginning of the week and they kept rescheduling it because of a hydraulic problem. We never did get to see it but understood Safety First. They also cancelled Come Fly With Me with no explanation. Instead they put together some variety show. And I also heard that they cancelled Cats later showing; we had seen it earlier in the week. Because of all the cancellations it was obvious they were trying to figure out what to do instead and had a parade on the Promenade. Don't get me wrong we had a wonderful week, a wonderful cruise and we love Oasis of the Seas. And I'm sure they were doing the best they could do. It just really is a shame. As far as the ship we did notice some seats were torn in the Windjammer but all in all it looked really good.

 

I understand, why they were cancelled but I dont have to be happy about it. Day 7 was the best day we had on the cruise. We went to the martini class and just to stay with the week's theme, it was cancelled (we had five people not at least 7 like they want). The bartender stuck around and gave us some samples anyway.

 

Come Fly with Me was also a technical issue. It was announced a part broke and they do not have the part on board and cannot make one. Within an hour they cancelled Cats for the rest of the sailing citing the same issue.

 

We were on 10. The carpet was fairly worn in the hallways.

My apologies, We were on the 15th sailing. I misread your post !!! Sorry The cruise on the 15th was WONDERFUL

 

Yeah, i choose poorly.... :cool::cool:

[molsonschooner]

A quite bit melodramatic are you?

good luck getting into the captains quarters

[stlgreg]

good luck getting into the captains quarters

 

Now that would have made for a great show :D

[Dashofpepper]

Oh c'mon. I was joking. I was afraid there might be people without a sense of humor so I purposefully made my claim SO PREPOSTEROUS that no one could possibly NOT get the joke.

 

You've proven me wrong sir. Or madame. I hope you don't have kids.

I started a thread a while back about our experience on the Oasis 07/15/18 cruise.

To us it lacked the WOW that we had on the Harmony the previous week.

There were a couple of upper tier problems. But nothing a less seasoned cruiser would notice.

But all in all it was a great cruise. The elevators had had demons for as long as we have been sailing on her. But the easy solution is just get in the elevator even if it's not going the way you want to go. It won't be going far. And this way it will not pass you up.

As far as cancellations goes. The Aqua theater cancels quite a bit. Because the high divers only have a 24 inch circle they have to hit. So they don't hit the bottom. There is an air blast that slows them down. With out it they will be hurt.

The stage shows are productions that require a lot of technical things. With one of a kind parts. It seems like that's what happened.

I would suggest you call Royal and ask for resolutions and let them know you displeasure. I think they would accommodate you.

Oasis is great but in need of refurbishment i think they let these ships go too long in between. Prices are going up, included items are now having charges, so Royal needs to step it up and provide the full amazing vacation experience they advertise!

I'll second that, and I'll add Oasis is the only ship I saw the staff regularly using their special access on the elevators to go where they wanted without waiting.

I was told upper management has decided there would be no compensation for this cruise.

:o:(:(

Sorry, I've never seen that other than a medical emergency

We were also on the 7/22 sailing and share your disappointment. Of the five shows we had booked, we only got to see two of them. I know things go wrong, but it was one cancellation after another.

That's pathetic and inexcusable. Sure, things happen at sea that they can't control but 2/5 is just wrong.

[John&LaLa]

We've had shows cancelled, but they usually reschedule.

.....we're sailing in mid September with 6000 or so of our closest friends. We will report back when we get back, soonest.

[FLACRUISER99]

I'm on her right now, and had a gre onat trip. All of the staff/crew could not do enough for the passengers. I read these threads and say the OP must of been on a different ship.

The kept trying to reschedule the shows but they finally gave up the evening of day 5 and cancelled everything for day 6 and 7.

It was the cruise of cancellations....we went to the Martini Class on Saturday and it was cancelled (only time the class was cancelled all week)

We were pretty upset once Cats was cancelled.

[Sotermarler]

Does anyone know if the shows are back up and running again?
