This may sound like a stupid question but what did you do while you were waiting for the result?  Were you already checked in and allowed back onboard for the second sailing, or did you have to wait in the terminal for the negative result before you could re-board?

They did the test for b2b cruisers yesterday.

[Sunshine3601]

Bon voyage.  Hope everyone has a great week.

I enjoyed watching your Sail Away, Radio!  It was beautiful watching Oasis going under the Verrazzano Bridge!  I've always watched going under the bridge while on a cruise ship, but this is the first time I actually watched a ship go under the bridge from the Web site.  I didn't live far from the bridge when I used to live on Staten Island.

Enjoy your second time around!!

Sailing  under the bridge never gets old!  have a great cruise.

Thank you for taking us with you on Leg 2 of your B2B!  Have a wonderful cruise!

[tomservo]

I’m on this sailing as well, I thought about starting a thread but I won’t be as good with the updates. If @Radio is ok with it, I’ll post some updates here. 

[EllieinNJ]

So excited.  We'll be on next Sunday.

[tomservo]

A few changes I’ve noticed so far - in our CLS they finally have an actual espresso pod machine (ala Nespresso, but made by Lavazza) instead of a regular coffee maker. 

 

The suite lounge happy hour is from 5-8 and apparently you can get any cocktail off the standard cocktail list that costs 13 and under. This is a huge improvement over the previous list, which were restricted to certain liquors (from the Diamond Happy Hour list). We don’t have a drink package and are not heavy drinkers, so this option is great for us for the occasional drink. Beer and house wine are also available from 11-11. 
 

Finally I wanted to mention that if you get a coffee card you need to pick it up at Cafe Promenade. They also told me each punch was good for any coffee any size, just about anywhere except Starbucks.

 

I don’t know if any of these changes are permanent or part of their Welcome Back campaign, but I hope they stay.

I really enjoyed your first week and look forward to cruising with you on this second one.  Thank you so much for taking the time to bring us along with you.

Hello everyone and Good Morning. Welcome to DAY 2 of "LIVE" from Oasis of the Seas.

I had a wonderful dinner last night at Giovanni's Table. (Deck 8 Central Park) I enjoyed a delicious filet with a fantastic chocolate dessert. My reservation was at 6:30 but I had to run up to Deck 15 to watch us pull away from the pier slowly.

 

This morning was very cloudy and rainy. The seas have been much rougher than last week. The " Oops, I'm sick bags" were placed in the stairwell.

 

Things are looking better for this afternoon. The rain has stopped and the sun is coming out. Many passengers are out on open decks. This is the first sea day, and Oasis of the Seas excitement is in the air for most passengers.

 

Here are a few pics, and thanks for tuning in.

May I ask, do you need reservations for dinner? at CK? I’ve been reading other threads that you do. I’ve never needed it in suite class? And if so are they hard to get for a earlier seating? Especially day 1 as I’m boarding late. I also on my other cruises never got a letter from the concierge to book anything prior including shows? Is that a issue as well? I’m hoping for a stress free trip. Thanks

We are not going to Miami for this voyage, but we are going to Port Canaveral. Things are starting to warm up now it is suggested that we will be in 78° weather this afternoon. Tomorrow the forecast for Port Canaveral is 84° and sunny.

Radio—weird request,.  Do you have any way to measure or estimate the diameter of your room number circle on the door?  My wife is wanting to create some decorative magnets around the circle, but needs a best estimate on size.  

-Thanks

I think a reservation is only need for those in Sea Class , and are not required for Sky Class or Star Class. . . I am under the impression that you can only pre book shows with a Star Class suite.

Yes definitely get reservations beforehand. I think all the restaurants are at reduced capacity so that’s why reservations are hard to come by. Earlier seatings are the hardest to get, they book up first. You don’t need CK reservations for breakfast or lunch. 
 

If you can I would make all your reservations before you board. You should get an email from the concierge about a week before, if you don’t you can email them directly. I would book shows ahead of time as well. All the adult comedy shows are already booked up.

We sailed last week in an Owner’s Suite— I forget  which level that is. We got an email from the Concierge about a week before we sailed, so we booked a 6:00pm dinner time each night in Coastal Kitchen.  When we were in the a Suite Lounge for HH, you could easily see that there were plenty of open tables for early seating. We had. 7:15 reservation for the Ice show one evening and just went over to dinner early. No problems. 
I would  recommend that you make reservations and also make them for shows by communicating with the Concierge.  Everyone is extremely helpful.
