Was it just too early, or are they back to self service? I know you're posing your Q to the OP here, but I can comment that it's been self service since at least May.

dreamer976 Posted September 16, 2022 #252 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Well, thanks robmtx, where the heck have I been? I admittedly haven’t spent much time on CC as I once did, but recall seeing someone’s video walking through one of RCCL’s Windjammers pointing out that cruisers weren’t able to serve themselves, BUT….. I’ve been wrong before! 😆 Perhaps it was much longer ago than I recall. Ellen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfancruiser Posted September 16, 2022 #253 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Hello Radio.I'm really enjoying your day by day review. We will be on board Oct. 16. I would hope they have resolved the issues at the Aqua show by then. I just have a couple of quick questions. Do you know if the water slides on the ship are open on Perfect Day day? Also just your opinion on the best pay restaurant to try. Thanks in advance and enjoy the rest of your cruise(s). Patti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m enjoying it so much. Was it difficult to book your shows and any dinner reservations? Prior to covid I though you could book the shows prior to sailing. Thank you Sue Come join our roll call for the Nov 27th Oasis sailing, its a small (but mighty) roll call so far😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today is a beautiful day at sea on Oasis of the Seas. We have sunny skies, just a few clouds, and calm seas. Over the last few days I have been waking up to cloudy skies with on and off light rain. Last night I really wanted to watch Disco Inferno and the 60 Seconds or Less Game Show. I missed both of them. I was down for the count before 9:00 pm. I was however able to watch the Headlines Showtime with Aeromyth. They are an Aerosmith tribute band, they are very good. Today there will be fun activities on the open decks and inside. The shops on board open at 10:00 am, and passengers will be in line for the 2 for $25 t-shirt promotion on Deck 5. Vitality spa on Deck 6 is also running spa promos throughout the day. Today and tomorrow passengers maybe spending a lot of money for Oasis of the Seas retail and services. I had breakfast for the first time in The Windjammer Marketplace on Deck 16. I arrived when they opened at 6:30 and there were no lines and very few passengers in there. All of the food was very hot and fresh. This was unlike many of the reviews that I have read before coming on board this week. Many passengers have reported that there were lines everywhere, the food was cold, and people were standing around eating eating their breakfast because they could not sit down. Between 6:30 and 7:00 when I was there, there may have only been about 40 passengers in the Windjammer. There are a lot of activities planned today. Let's see what the day brings. Yes, I will be going to Casino Royale this afternoon. Here are a few pics. Thanks for tuning in. Radio Music Hall on Deck 9 MID Aeromyth is very good. Casino Royale early this morning Snacks in the Diamond Lounge I like someone's idea that bringing magnetic hooks to hang my hats my cabin. Pool Deck at 630 Splashaway Bay at 630 I had a nice breakfast at Windjammer this morning. Sunrise this morning Wayfinder DAY 6 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Radio Posted September 17, 2022 Author #261 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Hello everyone and good day. Today was a nice day. The weather is one of the things that makes a cruise very nice or very bad. The weather today was perfect. It was 85° and sunny by 10:00 am. We had a few clouds a light breeze and no rain all day. The Top Tier event was crowded. Crown and Anchor members filled up Studio B. The Captain, The Hotel Director, and the Loyalty Ambassador all had nice things to say about the Loyalty of the passengers on board. The Loyalty Ambassador shared the number of C&A members on board. 1193 Gold 358 Platinum 286 Emerald 506 Diamond 316 Diamond Plus 42 Pinnacle Club They briefly mentioned Icon of the Seas, but also suggested in the same breath that they don't have any information on it. Why bring it up? The pool decks were wall to wall with passengers today. It was very crowded, and very loud on Deck 15. The perfect Storm, Flowrider, and Ultimate Abyss all had lines. But it seemed like everyone was having a lot of fun. Tonight was formal night, and I enjoyed dinner in the MDR. The thing I don't like about a single table is that they are very close to other tables. I know it's difficult but I would like it if the tables were a little further apart. Here's something different. The waiter suggested they can only bring out 1 Lobster Tail but if you want more just ask and they will bring you a 2nd one. In other words, passengers who are used to ordering 4, 5 or 6 tails can still have them, but not brought out on a platter. Here are a few pics from today. Thanks for tuning in. Radio The Top Tier event was in Studio B The Hotel Director talked about Starlink at Sea Starlink at Sea is coming soon 2 for $25 t-shirts were on sale The Loyalty Ambassadors office is just above the card room. We love the Ambassador has a great view from his desk The pools were busy today I would like it if the tables were a little further apart. I really like my lobster tail but I only had one. I needed to save room for dessert. My favorite dessert on a cruise ship is Baked Alaska. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DELTABLUE Posted September 17, 2022 #262 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Funny how the same dessert, Baked Alaska, has changed on the ships over the years. I remember when whole round ones were flambéed in the dining room. Then they brought individual round ones to each table. Then they had a ridiculous version that was served in oval ramekins. Looks like they are now up to a jellyroll style. What next? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine3601 Posted September 17, 2022 #266 Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) @Radioon our 8.28 Oasis sailing my DH and I ordered the lobster tail dinner and we each asked for 2 extra tails. We were both served one dinner plate with 3 tails. We saw 8 person table next to us get 2 big plates with several tails placed in center of table. This was deck 5 of MDR. We always enjoy a piece of Barramudi and our waiter brought out a nice size filet for us to share with our lobsters. Delicious full dinner that night😀 Edited September 17, 2022 by Sunshine3601 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgeny Posted September 17, 2022 #273 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Radio, GREAT STUFF as always! Love the high quality videos as we sail vicariously through you 🙂 Question on Nassau if I may. It has been noted that it is a pretty long walk from Oasis dock to terminal street area. It appears that they have now installed coverings at least to shade from sun. As someone that has some respiratory problems long hot walks are not in my wheelhouse anymore. Is walk as much as it appears distance wise? Also curious, do you still have to leave ship on B2B and reenter/checkin for second sailing? As many sailings as we have done through the years Linda and I have never actually done a back to back. But we have seen groups of B2B'ers walked through pier side terminal area. Thanks George in NY - Oasis 10/2/2022 we're ready! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No luggage or checkin is involved with the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
