I would hope that if they are going to have 2 ships in LA they would put one of them on a regular 7-night schedule. As mentioned, Ensenada does not have much to offer. They need 7 nights to get in Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta.
As I recall some of the debt they took on with the shutdown requires them to suspend dividends until it is paid off. Taking on new long-term debt for new construction will help get them back to what was once normal.
Our first cruise was our honeymoon on the old Island Princess in 1978.
10-night cruise in an inside cabin.
$1000 pp
$25 air add on from SEA to LAX
port taxes about $30.
In 1978 $ it was expensive.
Back in 1984 I was concerned about a new ship being too big, it had 1200 passengers...
We sail on all sizes these days. I biggest complaint about the Oasis class is the Windjammer. Poor design with that does not have good traffic flow.
Since the restart of cruising there have been a lot of items that have varied because of supply issues. I am sure they will go back to having more consistency before too long. I just hope they end up will decent product lines.
The current policy seems to be suites only unless requested. We have had no problem getting them since we always ask. It is nice that they added the PDF version, but I still prefer paper. On our last couple trips, we were having an issue with connecting to the app in some parts of the ship. I am sure the paper version will be around a while.
I do not have a pic of it, but it is pretty good, and they are very open to requests.
I do recall some items.
Hamburger, cheeseburger, grilled cheese, chicken fingers, french fries, chicken noodle soup.
Yes, you can get wine in the dining room with your daily drink vouchers.
I believe the BOGO amenity is not combinable with a discount for booking online.
Yes, they are heavy. I once had an extended trip where I ended up carrying 3 home in my carry-on bag. TSA decided they wanted to open and check each one of them.
Good luck with that one. I have been told that it ends 12/31/2022. My sailings that were cancelled for April 2022 and shifted to 2023 will no longer get double points.
