And I still don't know what a "top sheet" is....

Bedding usually comes in sets.

Bottom sheet - A sheet that covers and is tucked in all around the mattress. This is the sheet that you lie on.

Top sheet - A second sheet that is tucked in only at the bottom of the mattress and is placed over the bottom sheet. A blanket or comforter is usually placed over the top sheet. Most people sleep between the top sheet and the bottom sheet.

Evidently, RC does not always place a top sheet on their beds and guests have to sleep between the bottom sheet and the blanket. Some of us, me included, prefer to sleep under a top sheet. So, I too will request a top sheet for my upcoming cruise.

Thank you for this great review! Will be on the Oasis with this itinerary in 5 weeks. I’ve taken notes on all of the “free” dining places that you’ve mentioned (quite a few!) I hope to branch out a bit from the MDR and the WJ that we did almost exclusively when we did the Freedom.

I'd be OK with that timing.

Thanks Bob!

I'd rather have specific shuttle times. We use Cortans and for an 11:35am flight, I'd sign up for the 8:30am shuttle.

We have a 12:10 flight and currently have an 8:45 reservation with Cortrans. Do you think that I should change to an earlier time?

I research prior to taking the cruise and will read reviews at that time.

When doing your research, where do you find the reviews for the ship’s excursions?

Hi Beth! I’m following this too. Our cruise is coming up soon!

 

I just noticed you’re from Pittsburg-my Dad was from McKeesport and we used to travel there every summer when my grandparents were still alive.

Yep, we live about 15 miles outside of the city of Pittsburgh. McKeesport is about 30 minutes south of us.

Memories of visiting grandparents are always special. I grew up about 100 miles away from my mom’s parents and we used to spend summer weeks with them.

Please keep these coming! Giving me great inspiration for our upcoming cruise on the Oasis in 54 days!!!

They say that redemptions are processed in order of saling date. I'd probably wait until a month before sailing, and if you still don't see your OBC, call the redemption people at 888-305-4626.

Will do!

I redeemed mine over a year in advance. Cruise is this coming June, and they say I should see them pop up in the planner, in May

Our cruise is coming up in April and I redeemed my points a month or so ago. I’ve been waiting for something to show up in my planner, but I guess that I should just (patiently?) wait until next month.

That’s what I figured too, Bob. Guess that I could call RCI and see what they say.

Hi All!

We already bought our drink packages a while ago on sale. But this might be even better.

When I go to my cruise planner it says $45 pp per day. Do you think that’s the price before or after the BOGOHO pricing?

I was trying to get the final price, but it doesn’t seem to want to let me buy them because we already have them.

Do I need to cancel my original order first to get the final pricing?

Thanks!

Might be right but I know on my sailing it was cheaper to book separately.

Same with ours.

If this is so, it would be truly amazing and I’d be so thankful.

Thanks M_M. Will be sure to check this weekend as advised.

...before every cruise?

We’re sailing on the Oasis in April 2018 and I’ve been watching religiously for a discount since we booked in August 2016. No luck so far.

I’m beginning to wonder if I’ve been wasting a minute or so every day.

Yes, but it varies by ship/itinerary.

Doggone it! No change on our cruise yet. [emoji53]

Call RC and ask them. It's not a secret.

Thanks! [emoji1303]

All of the internet, drink and shore excursion packages are going on sale this weekend.

It would be great if that’s true. Are you “in the know” with RC? [emoji4]

I hope that you’re right because we booked our 4-15-18 Oasis cruise August ‘16 and I’ve been watching constantly for a sale - but without success.

It would be great to have and internet and drink package bought and paid for.

Hoping that something like this becomes available on our cruise on the Oasis in April.

TV now shows Fox News and CNN. Fair and Balanced.

Thanks everyone! Looks like we'll apply for this offer.

What's the best OBC offer that you've seen for opening a RCI credit card?

Just got an offer for $175. Didn't know if I should jump on this or wait until something better comes along. Our cruise isn't until April 2018.

I would call Royal Caribbean. All Luggage valet is no longer available except on Oasis class ships out of Florida.

 

 

 

Steve,

Well, that just stinks. Used luggage valet on our one and only cruise (Freedom - Port Canaveral April '16) and found it to be invaluable.
