I do not believe that any Oasis class ships, other than Oasis, can make it under the VZ Bridge.  

 

I am pretty sure Royal has determined that SY can get under the bridge before deciding she will go there for the summer. Allure was built in same yard as Oasis, so had to get under Great Belt Bridge too, so can get under VZ as well. Pretty sure Icon will be able to get under VZ too if they ever decide that.

I don’t know if this means they are expanding beyond Symphony but on the app for my Dec. Oasis sailing, the menu no longer shows for the MDR. It was there the other day. I checked next week’s Oasis sailing too and no menu showing. It still shows for current sailing. 🤷‍♂️

Any chance Utopia will have the telescoping funnels à la Oasis and Allure? I'd love to get a brand new ship up here in NYC, especially since Icon won't fit under the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. Oasis is nice post-refresh, but the aging rooms left a lot to be desired.

If Oasis can fit under VN bridge, I think Icon should be able to. Both were/are built in same ship yard and both had/have to get under Great Belt bridge which I think has lower clearance than VN?

Either way, not sure NYC will see Utopia or Icon anytime soon…just my useless guess!

A nice shot of the funnels.

 

 

Those are some nice funnels😁

This happened to my husband recently. He had to go into his online profile remove his C&A # click save then readd it. Points and status then matched. 

Can also confirm this works! My son is now diamond but the website and app still had him at gold. All cruises showed proper points. SeaPass cards always showed the proper level so it really wasn't a big problem but just annoying. Over time, I have called C&A multiple times and they always had the correct level and points on their end and they said they would pass along to IT to fix...never got fixed. This simple fix now shows diamond on the app now...thanks again.

I thought for a moment that you changed your CC name to go in Stealth mode this sailing. 🤣🤣

I thought exact same. 
 

Both ‘dogs’…enjoy your cruise!

For me it was January 2019.  The Captain explained it depends on other traffic such as barges coming and going.  It's up to the Port Authority, the ship can't just decide to do it.  

 

Capt. Ban said same to us in Jan. 2018 when we sailed past it. If your cruise does go that way, see if the North Star is running. We asked and they said if we could get 12 people, they would take it up. We got some recruits and away we went. 

Not @twangster quality shots, but you get the idea!

Any news on who will take over for Mike on Wonder of the Seas?  We will be sailing her June 19th.

When we spoke with Dennis on Symphony in March, he said he was going to Wonder next, but didn’t say when…we didn’t ask. Not sure if it is for this time or later.

Day 6 

 

Sexiest Men Competition….   Usually the cruise director would host this… Dennis did on the Symphony and he was a riot… fell into the pool too … but on the Oasis it’s one of the activities staff …

 

Thanks again for another awesome virtual cruise. BTW, it was the belly flop contest when Dennis fell in the pool on Symphony.😁

The bartenders had no problem with me using up unused drinks on my wife's card last month on Symphony.  She went to bed early several nights and I went to Dazzles.  

Thanks for the drinks Ken, I mean Vikki😁

Did I find Waldo?!?😁

I’m referring to this video:

 

Yep, that video was taken on the Dec. cruise.

Jay from Ship Life reported this 7 days ago as current news so the one I mentioned must be another tragic event on the IFLy. Sad all around.

That video is from the Dec. 12, 2021 cruise. We were at the FlowRider at the time and we are in the video leaving the area. 

Just means little to no productivity over the  next week for many. 

Hey @archer_310, what are you going to end up doing? I am in same boat for our March cruise. I did book at SDM as is only place that I could get a time that fit our travel plans, but I would prefer if I did not have to skirt the 90 days issue. We will be about 75 days at that point.

Exchange rate plays into it. 

We will be on Symphony March 12, so I will get to play Where's Waldo!?

Thanks for the reviews, I really enjoy them.

They are no longer selling them, but we were able to get old ones we brought with us re-programmed as Biker mentioned. This was on Anthem in Dec.

Full disclosure on this suite, though. Scored a sweet deal during the heady days of Lift and Shift back in the  summer of 2020. We booked Empress with the expectation of shifting it immediately. Blame the game, not the player. All in at just over 3 grand. Can't beat that.

 

BTW, we also did the same thing for our Symphony cruise in March. 

Smart TA I guess😉
Which Symphony cruise in March? We are on March 12…L&S from Empress as well. I get to meet @Ourusualbeach, Will I get to meet you and LaLa?

We got phone calls twice (each) to confirm we were following the rules, but no one showed up at our door. 

Funny how our PM was exposed to someone with COVID, but only needs to isolate for 5 days? I know it is provincial rules vs. federal, but still does not make any sense. Federal and provincial public health should all be on same page, but that would be too simple I guess.

 Guess what folks, I won the Covid lottery. 

 

Yay!! I know we should not be happy for you, but...

Hopeful the symptoms stay mild. Thanks for the great review/info session.

Yeah, forgot the car was already revealed. 
As you were.

Has this been posted? Found on FB

So will this replace the car on the promenade? Now that Richard Fain is out the door, maybe Jason Liberty likes cowboy hats!
