Have a fantastic cruise ! I'm going to start reading your value thread. Hopefully the 50 buck upgrade was worth it and the same with your haircut, which probably cost the same after gratuity. 😄 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good info to know for the rooms. We will also be on deck 12, balcony above central park for our cruise. . Thanks so much great review thread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare offtopic Posted February 19, 2022 #678 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Thanks for the detailed photo review. Going on an oasis class ship for the first time in a few months and more excited than ever! Especially given new no masks indoors policy for vaxxed. We are getting the UDP and cannot wait to try these restaurants! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So some of your favorites might no longer be there. I miss the mushroom truffle soup! I had the mushroom soup on the Odyssey at the beginning of February. It seems it's hit or miss whether or not they have it available. It was delicious! I am enjoying your review. Thanks for all of the details. I'm on the Oasis next year.

We are thinking we are going book Mardi Gras next. Maybe. How is the internet connection on MG? Is it as fast and reliable as Voom Surf and Stream. Any tips for using a VPN?

YouTube videos, Facebook, e-mail, websites all loaded rapidly. I only remember one day having slower response. We actually had a wifi repeater/extender in our cabin. I am not sure about the VPNs.

zestyzorra Posted April 7, 2022 #693 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Hi Benny, first off, thank you for all of the pictures and information you've shared, it is immensely helpful! I hope you don't mind a few belated questions. I have booked my first Royal cruise for this December and I am not sure about the following: 1) Have you ever had the UDP when the ships were at full capacity? If so, did you have trouble making reservations for the restaurants you wanted to try? We will be on the Wonder of the Seas and the sheer number of potential passengers scares me. The NCL Escape is the biggest ship I've been on thus far, and usually sail S and M class on Celebrity. 2) For the shows, can you only book on board? Was that always the case or a Covid era change? TIA!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggie416 Posted April 7, 2022 #694 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Our last 2 back to back cruises on Oasis were canceled due to covid. Booked for next May, so here's hoping! We love Coco Cay and how lucky are you to spend 2 days there! Marg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggie416 Posted April 7, 2022 #695 Share Posted April 7, 2022 A big thank you for this! By far the best, a lot of pictures of the ship, the venues, the shows, the food! So many just report all the perks of their grand suites or star class status! This was awesome! Marg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grease is on Harmony -- we'll be on in a few weeks. I think Indy is Saturday Night Fever. We've been on Indy, so wanted a new show and a new (to us) ship.

Different types of restaurants and bars! Hey Benny-when you staryed at the AC Marriott, was that Dadeland AC Marriott, about 7 miles south of Miami Intl., and was the City Place walking distance. The only city place I can find is just north and west of Miami Intl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
