Live Again from Oasis 1/12/2020 - No Dawgs, lots of CATS🐯

[James4me]

Curious John, if Cats were to start performing on Carnival would you book it to see it?  

[Milwaukee Eight]

So you going with the big rig since LaLa bailed. Seems like only 50% like CATS. Lol

[blueridgemama]

I can't believe your week is up. I hope it was a great cruise for you and that you enjoyed the new "stuff"on the ship. 

Enjoy your next cruise on the Mariner.

 

I look forward to your cruise compasses from this cruise

Enjoy your second viewing🐱

 

And now it's my third

Look who I found😁

 

Front and center. Brought the wide angle tonight.

Enjoying the thread - we were on Oasis for the noro-cruise last January, so nice to see some areas we didn`t make it to, plus the changes.

 

The explanation I`ve heard about Studio B is that the theatre is "Studio" A and the ice rink is B.  Not saying it makes total sense, just what I had heard at one point.

 

Where is the comedy show now? Looked to be held in a cave somewhere. Kinda cheesy with the fabric backdrop IMO.

John,  I have a few questions about Coastal Kitchen.

  Can you make reservations for dinner in advance?

   If not, do you need to go to CK after you board to make them?

   Is it true they limit you how many nights you can eat there?

 

We are on Oasis when it comes to NJ.

John, I went back and looked again at the cast members. I didn’t see Grizabella. 

I enjoyed reading the bios and 10 minutes realized she was missing.

Cute thread title -- thanks for explanation.

 

My question for you....who is the Activity Manager on board?  Super Thanks.  I keep a list on Cruise Critic and updating it takes help from cruisers who are sailing on the ships.  Thanks in advance.

If you are in a GS or better, you can mske reservations in advance. Look for a letter from concierge the week before you sail. 

 

If Pinnacle or JS, you can make them after boarding.  Do it early on first day. 

 

There should not be a limit, but times do fill up

It's in Blaze, they built a permanent stage, but the design was bad, so they set up a temp stage on the old dance floor.

 

Interesting explanation on Studio B

We made it home right at 10, around 3 hours.

 

Watched at 10:30, but only heard it.

Welcome to Miami.

 

This looks better from our balcony in the morning than it did at night.

 

Waited at Bionic Bar about 30 minutes to clear customs 

 

Getting a shortcut to the scanners is a nice perk, but I'm sure some of these folks disagree 

 

Once we cleared the scanners, around 10 till 7, we were off in 5 minutes. Out of parking garage at 7:05, and to the tunnel at 7:08. Big thumbs up to Terminal A.

 

Passed Ft Lauderdale Airport exit around 20 minutes later, and was back in Cocoa Beach at 10:05. We only made one pit stop at the rest area just past Jupiter.

Thanks for posting this.  We were able to watch the livestream since we don't get the NASA channel.  Amazing to watch.

We are thinking about it too.  Looks like a fabulous ship. We'll see how it goes.

How do I stop cruise critic from notifying me for new posts on this thread?
