As a transplanted Okie, let me try to help. 🤠

 

As mentioned above, the operations of both apps is similar.  I have both apps and usually the prices are within pennies - I choose the one with the most number of nearby drivers; in a tie I go with Lyft.  You can watch a couple of You Tube videos, download and install the apps, set up your accounts, and be ready to roll.  I have just about given up on cabs - I get better service and cleaner cars at a lower price from Uber/Lyft. Uberx/Lyft form MIa to a downtoan hotel will run about $35+ and another $10 ride will get you to POM the next day.  Have a great cruise!

Thank you,  i will check both.  glad to have you as a transplanted Okie:)    Here in OKC we don't have to use either one of these so I was a little confused. 

Never used Uber or Lyft. We will be flying into FLL and will need transport to our Miami hotel and then the next day transport from Hotel to Cruise port.   Can you please tell me which one everyone likes better?

Hello, are you going to be on the Oasis the end of March? My husband and i will be there. it will be our first Royal Caribbean cruise. we can't wait.  

I think i heard you can have the cruise staff get your luggage to the airport for you. not sure how much it cost

we have changed to Hilton Miami Downtown. it is really close to the cruise port. 

thanks for all your advice

Has anyone stayed at this hotel before?  we are planning on taking Uber to the cruise port. and we are coming in the day before and don't really have any plans for that day. just wanted to see what you all thought of this hotel. 

Good afternoon:   we are new to Royal Caribbean and very excited about our up coming cruise. We are book on Oasis of the Seas room 7274  port side in March.  My question is : when on your balcony in the area we are booked can you look straight down to the water or is the life boats or something blocking the view. We like to have a great view of the ocean.  Also, if you have any other advice for us please tell us. We are not new to cruising just new to Royal.   Thank you in advance for all your help.:)

I am really thinking it's not worth the cost. 24.99 per day per person is a lot. When we cruised Carnival we did their faster to the fun and it was 50.00 per stateroom. and it included a lot of the same things as the key.

That is the correct area but I have seen that the Key sometimes sells out very fast, as soon as it becomes available.  There are a limited number available so that the number of people purchasing the Key does not exceed the number of reserved seats in the theaters or the number of tables in the assigned specialty restaurants for the embarkation day lunch. 

I have been checking it daily so maybe they haven't put it out there yet. we are going on the oasis.  This is our first Royal Caribbean cruise.

It’s disappeared from the cruise planner as an option to buy for my March cruise on liberty. I can’t believe that many people would of  bought it already. Can you say website glitch.

 

it hasn't even shown up for our march cruise unless I am looking in the wrong spot. I am looking under internet and more. is that the correct area?

I would say unless you stand to save more than the $100 in OBC, leave it alone. 

agree

You definitely stand to lose the OBC.   What is the price difference if you don't mind my asking?

right now is only 80.00  so it's not worth me calling in for.

Question:  if the price drops below what you paid I know you can call in and get an adjustment but my question is. When I booked we got a promotion where we got 100 OBC. Now the fare is less but no OBC. so, if I reprice we will lose the OBC right?

what do the cups look like? we are going on our first cruise in march 2020 and have the beverage package

Our Jan 5th 2020 Oasis was reordered.  I'm pretty frustrated as the new itinerary is not nearly as good for what we have organized before/after the cruise (we wanted to end on Labadee, not start with it, we did not want the two sea days at the end, either).  Not sure there's any recourse, but it's very frustrating.  Here's the notice:

 

Dear Guest, We’re really looking forward to welcoming you onboard Oasis of the Seas and wanted to share some itinerary changes with you. Our sister ship, Allure of the Seas, has a technical limitation which lowers her maximum speed. Over the past few weeks, we’ve been working feverishly to find alternate ports for Allure’s sailings. Now you’re probably wondering, “what does this have to do with my cruise?” Well, since we had to change Allure’s itineraries, some ports will now have more ships than originally planned. So, to ensure you have a wonderful time in each destination with less crowding, we’ve rearranged the order we’ll visit each port. The good news – you’ll have additional time to enjoy each one! Oh yeah! Overall, we’ve had to make changes to 30+ itineraries and yours is one of them. (Talk about “ship” happening!) Below, please find our new itinerary for January 5, 2020 on Oasis of the Seas. Day Port of Call Arrive Depart Sun Miami, Florida   4:30 PM Mon Cruising     Tue Labadee, Haiti 7:00 AM 4:00 PM Wed San Juan, Puerto Rico 1:00 PM 9:30 PM Thu Philipsburg, St. Maarten 8:00 AM 6:00 PM Fri Cruising     Sat Cruising     Sun Miami, Florida 6:00 AM   Not sure what to do with your extra time? How about an exciting ride down Dragon’s Tail Roller Coaster for a spectacular view of Labadee? Or, if you’re looking for a more relaxing retreat, melt the stress away with Labadee’s signature drink, the “Labadoozie”. Next, uncover one of Puerto Rico’s richest historical landmarks, El Morro, or explore the countryside on a 4x4. Then, we’ll make our way over to Charlotte Amalie where you can unwind while taking in harbor views, explore colonial landmarks like Blackbeard’s Castle, or sip on some local lager at a quaint microbrewery. Either way, adventure awaits! Our Shore Excursions team will reschedule any impacted Royal Caribbean International shore excursions that you’ve already pre-paid. In the next few days, you’ll receive an email with your updated excursion details. Then, feel free to continue browsing the many options available for your vacation in Cruise Planner! Thank you for your understanding!

Hello,   I am on this same schedule but ours is in march 2020  I wonder if ours will change also?

bed by the balcony

Okay thank you:)  

when someone has a moment can you look at the Oasis and tell me if I am looking at it correctly that our bed will be by the bathroom? 7-7274   ocean view balcony.    this is our first Royal Caribbean cruise.

Thank you for responding. Never used Uber or Lyft before but willing to try

We will be flying in the day before our cruise and was wondering if anyone knows if RCL offers airport transportation from both airports to Miami cruise pier? I know they do from MIA just not sure about FLL...    Flights are cheaper to FLL but hotels are more. We are just trying to figure out the best way to go. This is our first time going out of Miami.   thanks in advance for any help.

Checked our next 4 cruises thru Feb 2020.  They're all up 300.00-1,000.00+ from prices we locked in long ago.  Guess it still pays to book early

mine too for march2020 on oasis

That may or may not happen on your sailing - don't plan too much for those.

Okay. I thought it sounded cool.    we normally cruise Carnival and they don't do any themed nights that I know of.  do they tell you ahead of time if they are planning on doing them?

This is going to be our first Royal Caribbean cruise. And I have read that they do a white night and a tropical night. Can you post pictures of what you guys wore? We are trying to get an ideal of what to buy. Also do they do any other themed nights, we are going on a 7 night out of Miami on the Oasis?

thank you

As long as it's packages and doesn't contain fruit, meat, or cheese it's fine. We've bought candy, rum cakes, popcorn, and a wide variety of other local foods.

When in Cozumel or Progresso we buy mangos and avocados and bring them back on and no one has ever said anything about it. they are in our bag when scanned and one of the employees were excited to see mangos so we gave him one.

No.  OBC is restored immediately.  Credit cards take a few days.

Okay thank you, we are new to Royal Caribbean and wasn't sure how it worked
