We are sailing on OOTS in 2 weeks (!!!). On a past cruise on another cruise line we loved watching nightly movies on a big outdoor screen while the sun was setting over the Mediterranean. Wondering if they do this on RCI sips, particularly the Oasis (sunset optional, but it really was magnificent).

I love it when a fat doctor tells me to lose weight and a Doctor comes into the exam room, back in the day, smelling like a cigarette butt and tells me/preaches to me how much cigarettes are bad for me.Ā I wonder how many alcoholic Doctors there are.Ā I bet we'd be surprised!

No, that's not to say that their advice is wrong.Ā Ā
Ret MP, just noticed your new avatar š š

I've seen that on small boats - but never on a cruise ship.Ā That would be dangerous as I bet many don't understand what "Not Potable" means.

Yes, thinking more about this, it probably was on a ferry. Or maybe just in my imagination? Lol

Anyway, just wanted to know if we would be able to fill our own water bottles. In the past (2 cruises) we bought cases of bottled water to have in the room, and I donāt remember why.

I'm just confused why someone would think the water provided onboard isn't potable.

New-ish cruiser here. I remember some taps on a previous cruise labelled ānot potableā. I couldnāt remember if we were able to refill water bottles or had to rely on actual bottled water in our cabin and on excursions.
-
Is potable water readily available onboard Oasis OTS? If so, where is the best location to fill refillable water bottles?

Iām seeing comments about long lines waiting for a table for MTD on some ships. Weāve been on two non-RCI cruises before, and in both cases MTD was seamless: just showed up and got a table. These were smaller ships. Would it be better to do early traditional dining if we want to avoid waiting? (short waits are fine, just donāt want to stand in line for an hour to get a table as we already expect to be standing in line for many other things onboard).
Anyone enjoying the new menu selections?

My daughter and I are vegetarian, just off Oasis of the seas. I have good news and bad news for you. Iāll post a full review later, but for now:
Ā
MDR has 1 vegan appetizer, entrƩe and dessert every night. On 2 nights there was an additional Indian main that could be made vegan. Some were excellent (Greek moussaka), some were iffy (couscous stuffed red pepper - was just a large amount of couscous). There was no source of protein in any of them. So yes, bring protein bars!
Ā
Other venues such as the Windjammer had several dishes that might have been vegetarian or vegan, but it was not always clear as nothing was labelled. We did ask, but the servers didnāt know. Some would go to the kitchen to ask for us, some didnāt offer. We discovered that you could ask for a veggie burger at the burger station, and they would cook it specifically for us. We relied on this a lot. Not sure how much protein there is in it, but it was good and filling.
Ā
We tried Playmakers for their veggie burger, but the service was appalling - noĀ fault to our server - she was very busy, but we waited a long time to be acknowledged, then served, and never got our drinks. Johnny Rockets also has a veggie burger.
Ā
we had the best luck with the Solarium bistro - felafel, hummus and other dips, as well as veggie stir fry and other veggies. Ample bread available.
Ā
Overall it was lacking in choice and especially lacking in alternative proteins. Quality was OK. Service was in MDR was slow.
Ā
Do bring protein bars.
