There will be other times you can sail on the Oasis....:) What you have both written is beautiful and it brought tears to my eyes. I could not agree more with what both of you said.

kauppias Posted September 1, 2009 #27 Share Posted September 1, 2009 WOW, too bad you cant go, but atleast you know rccl is thinking of you :) glad to hear youll be able to sepdn it with your mom instead. I wish they would invite me or even just invite me to peek at the oasis in the ship yard as I live less then a HOUR away from where she is being built... heh guess diamond plus status doesnt do that either :P a guy can hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michuck Posted September 1, 2009 Author #28 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Thanks for the kind words, all. Even though we get to spend just about every weekend with her, I don't want to leave her with someone 'strange' while we'd be cruising and her caretaker is away. She's an amazing woman.... To answer some of the other questions: We've gone on 28 RCCL cruises. I'm blonde....(tee hee – that’s all the info you’re getting on that!!).... I was contacted by email and thought it was a hoax so I called RCCL and, sure enough, it was real…. I did tell them the reason I couldn’t sail and asked that they keep me in mind for the next one!..... The last oh, I’d say, 7 or 8 cruises we booked directly with RCCL. Our schedule is crazy with Mom and our jobs, so we often book, cancel and rebook at a later time, and I hated putting a TA through all our changes – it’s simpler just to do it online. I’m keeping my fingers crossed someone else from here gets an invite!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amickeyfriend Posted September 1, 2009 #30 Share Posted September 1, 2009 we have over 50 cruises completed with RCCL and 10 weeks booked in the future. Haven't heard a thing. I would gladly pay the air to get on one of these early sailings. HEY, RCCL, are you reading this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skiiergirl Posted September 2, 2009 #34 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Congrats to those that have invites. Interesting though that they are inviting folks with 20-30 cruises and not inviting folks with 50+. I can understand it would be easiest for them to invite all the S FL folks but looks like some folks are from other places too. Shouldn't make any difference whether you live in S FL or Timbuktu...they should start at "the top of the C&A food chain." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I read somewhere (the Oasis threads?) there will be more than one pre-inaugural. I'm sure that they will accomodate their most frequent cruisers - they always have, so there's no reason to believe that they would stop now....
