They literally get the front center section at Aqua Theater. And this wristband is a pain too. Scan my card or something instead. Have only been to 1977 and the seating arrangements were disappointing. Usually go early to get seating in the middle section- big surprise when we couldn’t sit there.

No need to complain about the kiddos getting the good seats! Just go at the time listed "V" on the schedule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree - i think the issue is you didn’t know the seating arrangements until you got there and were committed to the show- so putting it out there so others will know!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 4 days until we fly to warmer weather! Thanks! Asked the Concierge about next weeks numbers (2/5) and she said that they are expecting 500 more cruisers than this week. She also said that around 2900 actually boarded the ship this week even though they were expecting 3400.

I managec to catch Hiro again tonight and had center section seats. It made a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard from dining staff that the number is around 3700 vs 3400+ so who knows lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightOne Posted February 2, 2022 #39 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Talked to Guest Services and Dennis the CD and the passenger count is officially… drumroll … 2938 Dennis said today that there were supposed to be 3500 but some didn’t make it.

Maybe set a whole side section of seats for the unvaccinated, from front row to back row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Kid 5 and up can safely get vaccinated now, then they can go every where and see every show. Edited February 2, 2022 by Maitaivegas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightOne Posted February 4, 2022 #45 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Currently docked in Miami on night 6. Everyone saying it is a medical evacuation and there were ambulances on the pier. One ambulance has left so far. We are supposed to be on time for Cococay tomorrow according to someone who called guest services.

jcandjf Posted February 4, 2022 Author #47 Share Posted February 4, 2022 For all of those sailing in Suites, the Concierge said that they are sailing with 100% occupancy in the suites. So even though the ship is less than half capacity, suites are booked. This would explain the issue in getting dinner reservations at CK this week. They managed to fit us in one night for dinner as we were on a waitlist. I’d head to CK to book dinner resys first thing if you couldn’t book them prior to getting on the ship.

Symphony is back and looks terrific- last cruised on this ship 4/2019. things to know…… -Quick walk on/check-in at 1pm using the suite entrance. -New reservation system on the ship was not fully working today. No one could book shows or anything through the app. Waited in line for over an hour in the suite lounge to get my shows booked. -Windjammer at 1pm was packed- every other table was unavailable for social distancing. Had some Indian dishes for lunch which were fantastic! -By 2pm, Coastal Kitchen had no dinner reservations available at all for the entire week. And by 1:30pm, there were no 7pm reservations available the entire week at any specialty restaurant. I’m sure there will be some cancellations but book early if you can. -Hairspray a no go this week. Have a slew of entertainers singer, comedians, ventriloquist to fill the gap. Hiro and 1977 are running. -At tonights dinner in MDR, they appear to be using mainly the 4th floor with some diners using 3rd floor at 8pm. -Dennis is cruise director. -Mark Preston formerly of the Letterman was the main entertainment tonight. Knows how to sing and work the crowd with some old (mostly) and new hits. Think Vegas…… Overall impression is that it is busier than what has been reported on the other Oasis ships the past couple of weeks. I wasn’t ready for it!!! Usually have everything booked or planned before getting on the ship. Not sure how much I will be posting but wanted to get this info out as the previous live posts have been so helpful to me. - How strict are they with the check in times. We had early times and got an email we are not going to start boarding that early so we have to change times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A TON of people in the FB group for the cruise reported getting successful Royal Up bids for suites. Roysl Up e-mailed us repeatedly including the morning of the cruise. So that would be my guess.
