MrFunInTheSun Posted November 10, 2018 Author #351 Share Posted November 10, 2018 It’s always good to buy a ship model even if you already have one. It appears the model is cheaper on Oasis vs Harmony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted November 11, 2018 #354 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I personally think the Izumi Fillet is the best on the ship. It has so much flavour. Those food pics killed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacquelyn11 Posted November 11, 2018 #356 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Waiting in Cocoa Beach for you bring Lady O back to Port Canaveral. Have enjoyed coming along with you on a pre-tour of the Oasis. Looking forward to my week of fun in the sun! Where do you find your cruise attire? Always looking for shirts for the DH! Safe travels back to your FL home (one or two hrs away?) Jacquelyn 😸 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed on Izumi fillet, it’s so tender. Was a great last meal of the cruise. Can’t wait to do it all again in February on Symphony.

donsuej Posted November 11, 2018 #358 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Thanks for taking us along Dale. Looks like the weather was great for you. Pictures were great! Can't wait for my Symphony cruise! Too bad we aren't going the same week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFunInTheSun Posted November 11, 2018 Author #359 Share Posted November 11, 2018 For those with the hairdryer question One last look out the balcony They are kicking us off, no B2B cruise for us. 😞 its Sunday again.... Looks like I’m set for my next fall cruise. Oasis of the seas is on the list so looks like I’ll sail Oasis next December 1, 2019 out of Miami. Now to figure out what cruise will be in between sailing on Symphony in February 2019 and now Oasis December 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love these big girls, by far my favorite. I am booked on the Lady O three weeks from today, plus one week in January, and one week in February. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuCruise Posted November 11, 2018 #362 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) MrFunInTheSun, thank you so much for your review. Looks like you've had an amazing cruise, and Oasis looks great too (have been on Allure). How great that you have her booked again next Dec and Symphony in Feb? If you're doing a live review, I'll for sure be following along. Safe travels home. Edited November 11, 2018 by LuCruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcrdale Posted November 11, 2018 #363 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Thanks for the live from report. Loved all the info, especially the cruise compasses. We will be onboard for a B2B in 70 days. This will be our first time on Lady O, but we have been on the Allure before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFunInTheSun Posted November 11, 2018 Author #365 Share Posted November 11, 2018 When the Oasis class ships deserve not one but two areas in your home displaying their model ships. Area One... only missing now Symphony of the seas... Area Two all lonely with Only Harmony of Seas.. Now she’s not as lonely now that Oasis of the seas has joined her. Looks like I need to sail on Allure of the seas again.. Tonights sunset photo not from the ship. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I used a 3rd party for hosting the pictures and did the same with this one. I actually had more problems with the Fbook ap trying to upload pictures and stuff there in a group that I eventually gave up. Would work right sometimes and then other times not load correctly at all. 9 hours ago, PhoenixCruiser said: Interesting, thanks for this, it helps me plan our meals!

pridemnx Posted November 14, 2018 #370 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Hi MrFunInTheSun, Thank you very much for posting the review. Great photos and lots of fun to read. Your vacation looked amazing! We purchased the Ultimate Dining Package for our 14 nights Transatlantic Cruise (Oasis of the Seas). We have a few questions: 1) I think we will get $35 (per person) food credit for a la carte restaurants. We would like to know if it means $35 for lunch and $35 for dinner. Do you think $35 (especially for dinner) would be enough? We love sushi and sashimi. lol 2) For 150 Central Park, Chops Grille and Giovanni's Table, are the menus similar everyday? Do they have new items everyday? For 14 nights, we probably will visit the same restaurants at least 3 to 4 times. 3) If we like certain things from the dinning room. Would that be available at the Specialty Dining Restaurants too? 4) We have prepaid gratuities. I believe that gratuities is included in UDP. Do we need to do anything to make sure that the Specialty Dining Restaurant staffs get both portions of the gratuities. 5) Did you get all your preferred dining times when you make your reservations? Did you make any changes after? Was it difficult? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks a lot. 🙂 🙂 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffett fan Posted November 15, 2018 #371 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Thanks so much for taking us along - what a great break from my normal work week! Loved your sense of humor and outlook, and already looking forward to the next review. Any chance you'll post here when you start your new review? At least then we can be notified so we can follow along again. Now I'm going to go back and read your previous review which I unfortunately missed when it was live!

They allot that amount for dinner or lunch. 2- Menus are the same every day for both lunch and dinner. Lunch and dinner menus are different though. 3- No. though on lobster night they will sometimes serve lobster with what meals you choose. 4- Gratitudes are included with package. I did tip extra for each meal though. 5- I’ve done both I’ve done my schedule for the week once I boarded and this past week we done some as we went. You can’t book them all prior to boarding the ship. Not difficult at all and they are very accommodating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatordad815 Posted November 16, 2018 #374 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Great report! I was on the same sailing and just knew if I looked close enough I’d see myself in your report-finally found the back of by head on the boardwalk near the end! Just one correction: there were pier runners in St. Maarten! We were standing on our 6th deck aft balcony and at 4:58 ship time (dark by now) 2 guys came running BAREFOOT at full tilt towards aft gangway of the ship! Then 3 minutes later, a girl passed out in the back of a golf cart was driven to the gangway (I hope she was ok-I suspect she was the drunk girl who caused the 2 barefoot pier runners). Finally...and I couldn’t believe it, a few minutes past 5:00, a family with kids and a stroller were zipped to the gangway by a speeding golf cart! Under 60 seconds passed between the time the gangway was pulled & the time we were sailing away from the dock. The whole process amazed me! You were in many of the same places as me during the same times-the Boardwalk, Emerald Beach, the Pool decks, and definitely the casino! But I was with a party of 15 & lots of kids (including my own young kids) so meal times weren’t in any of the specialty restaurants. It all looked great from your report! Thanks again for the great report-was fun to relive the week through the eyes of someone who had a very different (and definitely more relaxing) trip than me on the same ship-it was a great week!

breeezy Posted November 16, 2018 #375 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I was on Symphony TransAtlantic when you were doing this review! Glad it was here for me to read when I got hom!! I see a few familiar faces also followed along!! Silky Sal!!! I have not cruised with you in quite a while, and when I did, I think my friend Kay was with me and not my husband!! MrFunInTheSun...... you did an awesome job as usual!! If I knew how to post photos, I would post the one of the shuffle board you asked about on Symphony which is on the running track off to the starboard side. On the port side, they have ping pong tables. I had to retrieve a bouncing ball once on one of my walks!! LOL Looking forward to your next review on Symphony! I left some alcohol on there, although we did our best to drink it all on the crossing from Barcelona to Miami! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
