  1. I agree. I used an electric scooter some days shopping while getting Chemo, due to fatigue. I found people either ignored me totally, or went out of their way to look at me and smile, say Hi. Sometimes talking very slowly and carefully. Which was funny, since I could hear and talk just fine. But they tried to be nice.

     

     

     

    Lol! I am deaf and some people think I need menu or books in Braille. They get so confused when I tell them that I do not know Braille and I can read just fine with my eyes.

  2. I am deaf myself and I have one time experience rudeness during dinner time. The poor waiter had to stop them from trying to take other people table every day. Then they started to arrive late when we are about to finish dessert. I felt so bad for the server and my cousin is hearing and could communicate with them just fine. It may have been that I am deaf or we were not pretty or handsome enough or simply the color of skin. We will never know. Since then, I requested a table alone and use an excuse that I am deaf BUT if there is other deaf family, I asked to be at the same table (not happened yet).

  3. It’s not chocolate fondant, it’s actual chocolate. If it comes frozen, they probably wrap the cake in cardboard to keep the chocolate safe.

     

    I think maybe they are supposed to finish the cake on board, because the flowers in the site pic are made out of blown sugar which is extremely fragile and can’t be frozen. I don’t think I’ve ever seen blown sugar flowers on any ship actually.

     

     

     

    It is cardboard and was not frozen. No way near the picture it show. I will not do it again.

  4. A few more food pics - not sure what day they were from, but I think I forgot to post them earlier.

     

    Austrian Strietzel (available at least in diamond lounge, Promenade Café and Windjammer)

    I don't know why we received this, but somebody delivered these sweets to our room on Cozumel day. I am not sure it is a diamond perk, as we had already received our orange juice, water, and cookies on boarding day... Does anyone know if this is a diamond perk?

  5. Ugh! I actually asked for instruction for this cruise but did not get one. I figure out how the door work in Oct when I was on Oasis. One deaf was outside door but mine was inside. 🤦🏻*♀️. Now to figure out how to set the wake up alarm. That what I wanted instruction for.

    Here what it look like inside. It light up on top to alert you as well as a vibrate to put between mattress if they knock while sleeping.

  6. LOL! Well, they apparently need you to educate them :) Maybe you can get a summer job with Royal. Our device was inside the cabin...

  7. The bathroom: Oasis class has fewer storage options in the room and bathroom, so I pack the over the door organizer:

    Upon arrival, we saw this contraption on the door: Imagine our conspiracy theories, considering the recent thread about an "incident" on Oasis where some cabin door had apparently been locked with a padlock. (Theories were kept to ourselves for personal entertainment purposes only)

    Come to find out - it is an assistive technology device for the hearing impaired. It was removed sometime during the week.

     

    Since our muster station map is posted in the picture too, I will move on to the safety briefing: What a breath of fresh air! It was a bit of an unexpected change in the routine. Instead of the traditional "briefing", we had a humorous video of the evacuation procedures and rules. I did not think it took away from our ability to understand that an evacuation is a serious event, or that the rules are important. Rather, this humorous presentation helped my ability to focus on the information, as well as enjoy this necessary start of the cruise. I sure hope the "naysayers" don't ruin this WOW experience!

     

    By the way: Our muster station is in the Aqua Theater.

    Lol! I had that on my door! It is like a doorbell and it have another device inside that light up. Only problem, most people don't know how to use it. It is suppose to push the red button to light up. Twice before - I had it inside the room which defeat the purpose and finally this cruise they had it right except they did not press the red button! Lol!
