one day while walking down the hall to my office, one of the girls was outside the office on her cell phone and as i walked by i heard her say 'keith, it's not that hard, just put it in the hole' i dont know her well enough to ask what that was about but since shes quitting soon, maybe i will 🙂

high wire guy comes out there

thanks for the extensive review. forgetting to give towels is terrible because everyone needs towels! id rather they forget the trash or making the bed. your review continues to justify me staying in suites. not that i need justification lol. but didnt go in the MDR last cruise and didnt miss it. CK really is better and the stewards are always excellent. if if you get a crown loft you even get 2! i do hope they keep the jazz casino. was a nice respite from the crowded regular one and press your luck is fun!

how much was the deposit itself. when i booked an edge villa the deposit was 900 and the non refundable price was over 2K more. no one would pay 2000 to protect 900, insanity. well i hope no one would. edit. i was wrong..4K!!!

which suite? fantastic price indeed. won the lottery.

def not 7 day but i admit i havent researched. id book in a minute if was 6 or 7 day at that price speaking of which i consider this my deal of a century. upcoming 6 nite in the royal suite on liberty. i know not the perks of oasis but generally the best suite on any ship is ok with me . plus it has a piano! and it's cheaper than some balcony cabins. unsure why it's so cheap but lotta people got great deals on the lower suites too.

in may got this on oasis! access to everywhere on the ship! 🙂 i'm glad i did it but once you do it on oasis, i dont think id do any other royal ship. they are probably all similar. one thing that princess did better (at least in 2019) was the captain was on the bridge (not just the on duty officer on oasis who really didnt seem to interested in us) and we got to talk to him one on one for 1 hour and we also could go anywhere on the bridge, even the fancy dancy nav stuff! also was light drinks and snacks there. on oasis we were roped off from the main electronics. also princess gave us tons of swag. group pics, and lots of little stuff that was neat, personalize stationary and i forget what else. it was 4 hours in total and even got to see where the anchor room was up front and other places royal doesnt go.

oasis: 2021 got CLS on oasis week L1 double Crown loft Cruise Rate: $6135.60 Gift: $650 obc oct 2022 Total (USD)$ 5862.36 with 500 OBC may 23 booked 8 mo in advance 1br aqua suite May 21st 2023 A3 aqua 1 bedroom double suite Cruise Rate: $8300.32 Gift: $800 On Board Credit + 1 specialty dinner for 2 my TA generally gets me about 10 percent ish or so in OBC. also the CLS are much more expensive these days but if i had to book oasis again id do the CLS over the aqua suite. but the answer to what is a good deal 'today' would be 3K or less for a CLS per person

i usually dont eat pasta 'out' but i think it was pasta primavera that was very excellent. i wanted it a 2nd time!

one time i had something made incorrectly and i really didnt want anything else (i think was lunch menu so smaller menut) he asked me if i wanted something off kids menu and i took the it ! i was ready to just walk without anything and go elsewhere but they really do want you to eat there and be happy.

we have never bought the drink plan because of the SL. also we do bring bottles of water and cans of soda back to the suite so after dinner etc just ask the bartender for some unopened cans of X. this was difficult last time because we were in an aqua suite but when in the CLS it was ez as pie to stock up. that being said, we are such heavy drinkers we do order a case of water for the room but it's just not enough for us addicts.

dont forget to ask for the donut tray for bfast. i found in May they didnt bring it around as much but we asked for and received what we wanted. they cant get to everyone on one 'circle' of the restaurant.

do they refund hotels/flights if you take them up on the offer?

on another ship i the people in front of me tried to enter MTD and they were told you cannot just switch because your spot is there and not here with your set dining time, seat etc. then a long explanation ensued. not fun for them or the people waiting in back of them

its not like haven on NCL, cant have CK deliver to your cabin sadly must have dinner reservations when we walked in 'during the day' we could get whatever soda or water we wanted because someone usually was around but never tried to get booze then in the evening all the booze is free yes and the letter will confirm the hours. and the SL does get full during those hours. also i found some of the 'snacks' in the SL actually pretty good. def a good place to snack. ive even stopped there after dinner!

on oasis they had a good press your luck machine in the new room but it is a small odd shaped place for slots but it's a nice oasis from the crowd......................

can someone list the prizes that are at these trivia games? im assuming rolex watches or something based on the need to win 🙂 even made the 'news' https://www.cruisehive.com/carnival-cruise-line-addresses-cheating-claims-at-trivia/106432

you can get the filet for one as in my pics here. it was excellent and i'm glad my TA gave me a specialty meal with my trip 🙂

i follow pricing every single day..been 2 villas available for weeks..yesterday one got snagged and only one left and the price is cheaper! shouldnt it be more expensive? TA told me overall pricing is 500 cheaper but my obc goes down 150 but still every bit counts on a suite. so down 3050 to 2900 for overall obc and ill have to cash out the 800 X credit thru the slot machine. but he will mail me a check for his portion after the cruise.

great to know. TA got it changed and we got confirms all other reservations were cancelled. will go do the MDR upon embarkation and hopefully get an 'out of the way' table. on oasis we lucked on time into one next to a pillar with literally no one next to us. very 'private' 🙂

i never have done fixed dining but finding that 730 MTD and later is only on my october liberty cruise. i wrote to my TA to ask him to change it to earlier fixed dining. But wondering how does it work with the tables? we only want to eat at a 2 top. just show up first day and we get to pick a table thats free or is it too late to decide that now? hoping also that being in a top suite may help if need be. 1st time on a non CK ship, was used to oasis and CK 🙂

ive only done suites on oasis and didnt think CK was a room service option. though would have been nice. the CLS doenst have a good table for outside dining but the 1 BR aquasuite we just had did. it was great eating out there on a full table on that long balcony. but next time will be a CLS, the aquasuite is just too far from deck 17.
