Thanks for the great review and help pass the time until our turn on Lady O in 2 weeks.  What's your thoughts on the CP balcony vs ocean view balcony?  We'll be trying it out for the first time too.

 

Celeste

Central Park balcony was nice. Was cool later at night if you wanted to be away from people you could go out on your balcony and listen to the live music in Central Park. Will say if one wants to go to bed early, not that I did, but stopped by my room early with door closed and you can hear the sounds from CP with door closed. It was a nice change though.

Cant really beat an ocean view balcony though. My next cruise on Harmony is an interior room. Thought of doing a royale up for that cruise too but thinking I’m going to stick with my interior this trip. My November cruise on Harmony I’ll be back to an ocean view balcony. 

Those that don’t know Maureen the great, this will be her once she goes into her golden years....

We are fans of 150CP as well. QUESTION, did you happen to do the Hibachi ? and did they cover it on Oasis with the UDP or not?

Thanks. 

Skipped out on hibachi with UDP this cruise but was advised it would cost think it was $10 more.

I suspect that my comfort zone would be slightly challenged.😯

That can be a good thing. You can help me lift and shove Maureen down the Abyss. Plus side if you go on the 11/15 cruise is going on the Cozumel Bar Hop! Tons of laughs there! 😀

Curious how you would rate this cruise from 1-10. 
 

What was your favourite and least favourite part about the trip?

 

Loved your live review! Thanks again for sharing. 

In reality I give the cruise a 10. This cruise had a few kinks but less kinks than my 12/1 cruise. While my 12/1 cruise was amazing in many ways I think that week we had a lot of new staff and they were all only on their 2nd week since ship was back in service and trying to figure things out. 
 

Now with that said I had more fun at Globe  & Atlas and Rising Tide Bar and overall cruise during 12/1. Though part of that I know was because our very active and involved roll call and friends I was traveling with. This cruise not as much as I met some very nice folks that I hope I cross paths with again, but it no where tops 12/1. 😀 Now my 3/22 on Lady Harmony I know already it’s going to move up a notch. 😀
 

Staff gets rotated to different bars during their contracts so I was able to seek out one from Globe & Atlas was now at Bolaros, so Bolaros and Rising Tide were the hangout spots this cruise. The new ones at Rising Tide I remembered from the diamond lounge and one was totally new on the ship and very nice. 
 

Lady Oasis definitely has a place in my heart along with her three sisters.

I'm sitting here laughing and getting some very odd looks.

You really should join our 3/22 or 11/15 cruise on Lady Harmony! That’s when the real laughs will kick in full force. 😀

Thank you for your review. 

 

I was wondering about Chops versus CP if just going to hit one specialty restaurant on Oasis.  Any opinions?  Was there an upcharge to get the scallops and venison?

I’m a fan of 150 Central Park. Scallops and venison was all included with the Unlimited Dining Package.

I read so much about Maureen Cruiser, but who exactly is she?

Maureen is a pretty well know celebrity here on cruise critic. She had some fun trip reports and lives she did until the photo monster removed tons of pictures in her reviews. She did a fun review back with Andrew, Lisa, Rick snd gang. She’s also mentioned in quite a few of mine in the past year and participated in a couple. She’s a hoot. 😃 Here are a couple reads I could find quickly to keep you busy for awhile. 😀

Survey arrived quickly. Got it at 11:53am. 😀

As always a fun week spent with you! Thank you for taking us along!!

Thanks for following along! 

A couple de-embarkment and parking notes. 

I was walking off the ship close to 6:45-6:50am which a little sooner than my December cruise on Lady Oasis. 
 

At the time I was walking thru customs facial recognition was not up and operational. It was back to the old way speaking with a customs agent briefly. My December cruise it was working. 

Cruise day once checking in I was only asked about 2 questions in regards to corona virus. 
 

Now parking, if you’re cruising out of Miami on this or another beautiful Royal Caribbean ship and driving to port, don’t be cheap and risk safety of your car and good solid convenience, Park at the port. It’s worth every penny. The price did increase since my December cruise from $22 a day to $25 a day. Worth every penny. My same advice cruising out of Port Everglades and Port Canaveral. John is the only one with a pass at Port Canaveral since he lives so close his neighbor can drive him. 😜

You can see I arrived at Port of Miami at 9:18am last Sunday and left the parking garage this Sunday at 7:01am. 😀
 

See you all in 28 days on Lady Harmony!!!

With Maureen...

Suddenly it’s Sunday again....

It’s about time for goodbye for now. Balloons are ready for tonight’s balloon drop...

Promenade tonight 

We are Rockin and rolling this evening

The three shows I saw in January seemed very well received. Most crowded was the late show on Friday

It’s actually not a bad show. I’ve seen worse that have less of a bad rap as this one.

This might be my favorite picture this week

Ironically is mine too. 

Promenade Cafe snacks..

Current status as of 5:35pm.  Its definitely more choppy and cooler as we get closer and closer to Miami...

More CATS because I know how much everyone enjoys it. 😀
