We were on Symphony last week. 3 days prior to Labadee, we were told our jet skiing was canceled but were not told the stop was canceled until the day prior. We went to Nassau.  😞

YUK!, we have Nassau already on our itinerary and really never get off there.

Oasis of the Seas April 7 will skip Labadee April 9 and instead go to St. Maarten April 10. I’m ecstatic!

Happy for you, we are going to Grand Cayman on the 4/8 Indy sailing.

I don't understand why they have already notified a cruise that is sailing on April 8th when there are cruises leaving THIS WEEK that still have not been notified.

Not sure wht but we were notified this afternoon.  Not many other options were open for us.  Just glad we aren't stuck with 2 days in nassau.

Would love that option, we're still awaiting word for the Odyssey stop on Mar. 27th, ours still shows Labadee so we're still anxiously waiting to see what they might be able to work out. Congrats!

Oh my same!!!!  We didnt have many options as Coco and T&C were bnooked already.  I love Grand Cayman!!!!!!

Just now, RWMike said:

Glad you have some advanced notice.

Still waiting word on 4/6 Symphony sailing.

 Just came in now.  I'm thrilled it was a highlight when we were previously there.

We're going to Grand Cayman!!!!!

As an adult cruising in a monte with a crushed wrist, I plan to bring my waterproof cast.  I just hope to have this external fixator removed cause i feel like Frankestein. 

I can be poolside and on the beach but still will be careful for sure. 

Loved Hook for dinner and lunch!  Did the baked oysters at lunch.  Dinner we did Filet and Lobster tails.

So what's the SENIOR age?

We just booked this one - reviews are high on Tripadvisor.

Another vote for Bernards!  They are amazing!

Love the Oasis Casino Staff from pit bosses to dealers they were all fantastic!

I use to love those kummelweck sandwiches but sadly last month they were barely edible. The beef was so tough that it was next to impossible to take a bite without the entire slice coming out of the bun. Tried it a few times on different days and same thing. Jaw got a good workout when I did manage to rip a piece off....rip, not bite. 

 

Agreed, they definitely aren't the same as in the past.

What are in these?  🙂

 

BBC is a frozen Banana Bailey's and Pina Colada
Dirty Monkey is the same but with chocolate syrup also

Both are super yummy!
 

BBC or Dirty Monkey!

UPDATE:  They did book me, but never shared it back to me.  After my call they sent the invoice and the upgrade fee was far beyond what I wanted to pay (different than the day I reviewed online).  Good news is I was easily able to cancel and my Tier credit is showing as an option again.

I saw a family of 12 for a birthday for their momma on harmony.

Has anyone been to this? Any feedback on this? What are portions like? I'd be going solo.

We prefer Giovanni's kitchen over Giovanni's table.  They have different menus (while some items are the same).  The kitchen has pizza and chicken parm, both faves, while the table had a more limited menu.

So I've been prime for a few years now and inquired about using my 2023 benefit for a cruise later this year.  I used the redeem option, since calls were taking so long.  This was over a week ago and i've received nothing, yet my 2023 Tier Offer is now gone.  I cruised in April and already earned for 2024 and when calling the rep could not understand what I was saying.

Anyone else attempt to use their Tier offer and hear nothing, yet have their offer disaappear.  I try to be patient but waiting over a week and having the offer disappear is kinda crazy.

I'm on hold again, but has anyone else had this happen?

The 18% is added but if we have a good waiter which is most of the time I will tip extra cash.

We will tip extra for good service as well.  When you think about the 18% and how that divies up over dinner every night and lunches, it's not much.

I'm happy to tip extra, will be a bit less when I have terrible service (like in Playmakers recently).

We were on this sailing and had a great time!  Our attendent was fantastic, we had UDP and had very nice dinners every night.  Expecte a ship full of kids and it wasn't bad (given the issues at FLL, some cancelled).

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but when I'm on vacation, I don't sweat the small stuff!

Due to some kids sending some inappropriate messages to everyone on board Oasis last week, I am seeing reports of the message option being disabled on this weeks cruises. Anyone on board and can confirm...especially curious if it's all ships or just Oasis. 

I was onboard and it def happened.  It wasn't really a hack they just added all the searchable passengers and sent a bunch of naughty messages.  The line at guest services to find out what was going on was out to the promenade with everyone looking at their phones.  It did not come back the rest of the week.

Just off Oasis and the balloon drop is midnight on the 1st day.
