Haha...that is funny. I typed that whole thing once, proofed it and it never posted. So then second time I typed it I just hit submit. Vaxxed is one of those words that doesn't come up. Thanks for the laugh. I won't tell her. She may not think it's funny.

Friday Day 6
Hello all, Thank You for reading my live . Due to the fact I’m really tired this will be my last post.

Had cereal and danishes and coffee in my room for breakfast.

Packed all the items I don’t need for my final days ,

Decided to take a nap and that felt great.

I went to Playmakers and had a Blue Moon and their onion rings

I liked their onion rings, really good.

For dinner I went back to PortSide BBQ. I had the non lean brisket and corn 🌽. It’s so good and all their staff treats me like a Queen. I don’t have to stand at the counter to order, they actually come to the table and take my order .

Funny I’m kind of homesick, miss my Purple Hybrid mattress, my recliner chair and my DD. 
So to wrap my report up, if you have mobility issues I definitely recommend the Oasis of the seas. 
Now if you have a compromised immune system like myself, I can not recommend RCI due to the fact they do not enforce masks wearing on the unvaccinated.

Thank you all for your kind words and I hope everyone enjoys their upcoming cruises.

I will lurk around and post in the future when time permits.

I use an iphone but DH is a lot older and doesn’t use one.  He would be very upset if he didn’t have a printed copy.

I'm still trying to teach my hubby the difference in an email and a text.   Just had to. upgrade his iPhone 4 since ATT no longer supports it.  His most often asked question is "what is this?"

Did you notice if Spotlight Karaoke and the Escape room was open during the cruise?

 

Thanks for all your posts. It was great to read about your experience.

[dman1]

I believe Escape Room was closed…unsure about Karaoke but would assume that would be open.

Thank you for king words.

Escape room was closed, karaoke was open the whole cruise

Hi all, so got home Monday night.

Im exhausted, so happy to sleep in my own bed.

I had fun, but until I’m feeling better a vacation will be room service and cable tv in a nice local hotel .

I hope you all have great cruises and stay healthy. I will be here checking up on you all, since we are a community. 💕💕

I'm glad to hear you made it home safely and that you enjoyed your cruise. I enjoyed following along with you. Take care. 💕

Do you recall which nights were formal (dress your best) and which night had lobster tail in the dining room?

[Din321]

Thank you for doing this post.....was very helpful, especially with mobility issues.  I will be going on Oasis soon so this was perfect.  One question....I noticed you said the room service menu is on TV.....do they still have the paper forms you fill out the night before & put outside your door if  you want to order the coffee & pastry for the morning, or is this all done on the app now?

 

Again, thank you, hope you're rested up and had a good time!

[perfect match]

Thank you for checking in and letting us know you’re home safely. Take care of yourself so hopefully you’ll befeeling better soon and able to consider a cruise vacation again. Glad you’ll be checking in here when you can.

Well, now you know. I know how much you were looking forward to it. I'm sorry it didn't work out better for you, and that you didn't have more enjoyment.

Yes. they do still have them.  At least they did in late January.

Does it feel crowded?  Assuming it will be around this number (maybe a couple hundred more) next week.

The last count we heard (we were also on Oasis 3/6) was a final count somewhere around 3800. It felt crowded day 1 on the Promenade - due to a big line at Guest Services and people milling around and doing their "Muster 2.0 " (including us!).   Beyond that - it never felt that crowded.  We also stayed on board day 2 at Coco Cay - and enjoyed the VERY quiet Solarium!

Good Morning all:

Man sorry this is the first time I posted since yesterday.

I was wore out! I feel asleep sitting up on my couch for like an hour. Then I slept for another 7 hours. I stepped 5600 steps yesterday.

So was just on deck 16 at the Lime and the Coconut and got my first drink of the day. Frozen Mudslide. It was good but the casino bar at Harris? Near the McDonald’s in Las Vegas was better.

Hi!  I think I remember you came by around when we had the Hometown Gifts and Meet & Mingle (11-11:30am)?  Or right after?  We ended up with a lot more people for that than I thought!  We had 24 gifts.... and I think around 40-50 people total.  We were there until 12-12:30 I think.

Formal nights were days 3 & 6. Lobster was day 6.

Yes - we had room service twice last week.  We had 4 blank swing tags in a drawer with the room service menu.  We did have a couple issues with items missing, though. The first time - it was just the sugar-free syrup my husband had requested for his pancakes.  The second time - they forgot more, including my scrambled eggs, my hash browns - and I only got 1 of the two sausage links!  We called down to room service - but after 45 minutes, they hadn't come - so we called to cancel (we had to leave for an excursion).  So my suggestion to those that get room service - and order from the "regular" menu (vs continental breakfast that is free) - is to double check the items you receive before the person that delivers it leaves!

Thanks. I am on the March 20th sailing, same itinerary. Up until a few days ago, Day 6 was lobster day in the app, but it just changed to Day 5. I wonder why.....I guess I will have to double-check once I board. I don't want to accidently miss it with a specialty restaurant.
