Sailing this Sunday on Oasis! YAY! First cruise! DH and I decided NOT to get the deluxe beverage package. We just don't think we'll drink enough to make up for it. However, I got to thinking and really wish RCI would offer a discounted package for certain rooms. We are getting the boardwalk balcony, so 2 soda packages are included in our stateroom. Soda is also included in the deluxe package. So we're basically paying twice for sodas if we got the deluxe. Why can't they offer an alcohol only package that is much less? We wouldn't need the soda benefit, I personally don't care about specialty coffees, or milkshakes, or smoothies. I would absolutely get the deluxe if it were alcohol only and say $30-35/day. If it weren't included in the room, we wouldn't even buy the soda package. But it will be a nice perk and my kids are happy.

Just wish they had more options to customize the packages to be only the items you want. Oh well, I am very excited and looking forward to our cruise and no cooking, cleaning, shopping, or prepping for food for my 3 boys all week!

I promise I've done a search and found LOTS of suggestions, but I still have questions! We are headed out on Oasis of the Seas next Sunday 8/12. So excited! Our first cruise! I am frantically searching for a waterproof photo/video camera. I plan to take my DSLR and our cell phones (samsung galaxy S7 edge) but I would really love a waterproof camera that will do video and point and shoot for things like ziplines, snorkeling, boating, jet skiing, etc. I would love to do a video recap "movie" of our trip. I know GoPro, but I am having a hard time swallowing the cost right now since there's no major holiday to use as an excuse for a gift.

Anything worth getting under $100? I've seen some with some pretty good reviews on amazon but can't tell if they are video only, which would be fine since I'll have our other cameras for still photos.

I'm sure on the ship, I'll be doing plenty of videos on my phone, but I'd love a sturdy video camera for any excursions.

I'm on the same cruise as you!!! This will be our 4th time on Oasis and it's wonderful! Hope to meet ya!

We'll be on this cruise as well! Our first cruise EVER! I can't wait!
