Nadja is now on Allure in the Diamond Club.  MJ and Sue are in the SL. 

I was on 3 cruises, getting off September 26.  Cabins were very cool.  Ship was cool until last night when it felt warm in the MDR. 

Encore is the ice show on Liberty. 

Maybe we’ll heat something by the end of the day....

I’m booked on Liberty July 4.  Today is 30 days out and can’t check in.  I don’t expect we will cruise, but they need to tell us something, or give us Independence. LOL

Hi,

 

Does anyone know if Vision has MDR located on Deck 3 or on Deck 4?  I know some ships switch these around.

Thanks!

Decks 4 and 5

Day 5, or day 2 of our cruise

 

First full day onboard, and everyone survived it. Younger kids were sleeping by 7 pm, ours survived through dinner to almost 8.30 pm. Wonder if I can even remember everything I did today…

I slept fine until 8 am, kids and gf had already eaten their breakfast at MDR. So I decided to try Chops for breakfast. I can't say how it compares to MDR, but I'm hoping that after tomorrow I can. Food was good and service was fast.
Meet & Mingle was scheduled at 9.45 am, almost didn't make it, but managed to ditch kids to their aunt. As a typical Finn, I didn't mingle. Next in program was some Suites & Pinnacles event, and I could get used to those. Small bites of nearly everything was brought to my table, ranging from fruits to wellington. Drinks were offered too. After the feast, cruise director introduced some senior crew, and that was it. When I was heading back to my cabin, our consierge gave me a tray of different treats for our kids. I don't know if this is common or not, but I was impressed. And kids ate everything.

 

Kids had lunch at the buffet, I didn't really need anything to eat after that suite feast. Tried the rock climbing wall with my girl, one climb was enough for my hands. She wants to try again tomorrow. Then she wanted to swim, so we left her to my brother's gf at the pool. Round of minigolf with our son, and soon it was time to get ready for the dinner. I decided to use the showers downstairs, and happily noticed that this ship's sauna has water to throw on the stones. And of course that ridiculous sign telling me not to spend more than 10 minutes in there. After 40 mins in there it was time to get dressed up for the dreaded formal night. We didn't have reservations for my time dining, and the line at the door seemed quite long. But after 5 minutes we had pager in hand and were waiting in the On air club. Under 20 minutes after we had arrived on deck 3, we were sitting at our table. Food was good, but the portions are quite small. Luckily you can order more than one. I settled for just one, because I wanted to taste that supposedly improved pizza. And it really was better than I have had on our previous cruises. I wore a suit without a tie, and didn't feel under dressed. Definately the least formal night I have ever seen. 

 

More observations from our cabin:
That rattling tv fixture has been secured with about 10 rubber doorstoppers, it is better now, but still not silent. And wind is howling in the windows, didn't notice that yesterday. Hope that tomorrow winds will be calmer. Wi-Fi signal is much better than before, don't know why. And our cabin attendant is great, but he seems to have way more cabins to take care of than on our previous cruises. 

Are you in 1804 or 1854?  We’ve been in 1804 and loved it. 2 bathrooms are priceless LOL.  We have 1854 booked for Thanksgiving. 

Cory Rogers takes over as CD on Liberty today, January 19, after shadowing Brian for several days. 

Checking on Radiances Captain for December and I am a bit confused as Capt Trym Selvag is listed as being the next Captian on both the Radiance and the Jewel.He can't be on both ships in Decemberso who will it be on the Radiance?

Captain Marek is going to Radiance in January.

Liberty doesn’t have Izumi.

Many Ships/Captains no longer have a Captain’s Table dinner. It’s more common on smaller ships.

No last name for Tao at this time, I’ll see if I can get one.. And when you say please post it here, followed by the link to the spreadsheet, I assume “here” means in this CC thread, and not the google doc link, as we can’t edit that.

 

Thank you.

There are no tickets, you will just be “assigned” to a specific showing based on location of stateroom but you can go to either or all showings. There is no one checking.

No more assigning of when you’re supposed to go.

Thanks!!

 

We leave on the 16th.....hope he decides to bring her back to the US before he takes his break.

It is doubtful he will be on the TA. He should be getting off as you are getting on. He is scheduled to be back on Vision once it gets to NOLA (unless he is given a different ship).

There will be two days with two shows each day. The sea day will have an afternoon show.

Hi! I just got off the boat on Freedom of the Seas in room 1854. We did not see any suite benefits (that I'm aware of, this is only our 2nd cruise). We even paid the regular $14.50/day gratuities instead of the suite rate. I'm hoping for the double C&A points but not sure at this point since we paid the lower gratuities rate.

 

We also had a silver colored sea pass card. Not sure if that means anything.

JS pay regular gratuities and have a silver Seapass Card. Extra point per night.

Wow, that didn't last long.:rolleyes:

What I’ve read recently that if you are eating in JR ( and paying the cover charge) you will be allowed one milkshake if you have the Deluxe or Refreshment Package.

There are at least 2 different Giovanni’s Table menus. Liberty and Vision were different.

Hoping Captain Marek will be on Vision for October 5th Med/Greek Isles and then the Transatlantic on October 18th. Does anyone know about this?

Captain Marek will be on Vision for 10 weeks starting tomorrow, then 10 weeks off.

Would love to see our favorite captain , Rob Holmes, come to Oasis especially for our November 25, 2018 cruise!

Captain Ron? I’d love to see Captain Marek. He deserves a bigger ship.

This will be the last contract for Capt Per Kristoffersen on Oasis. He just announced that he will be going to Majesty after his vacation.

Who will replace Captain Per on Oasis?

Am I the only one who is confused by the kids portion of the fine print? On the top part it says kids 6-12 can be added to the reservation once onboard. Later on it says reserve them to the package and get a refund onboard. So which is it?

We’ve done the Ultimate Dining Package. We just added the kids when we made the reservation for a particular night. Kids (6-12) are just charged $10-12 per meal.

Will you elaborate? I sail Oasis often and have an opportunity to enjoy CK but will be sailing harmony when she comes to Port Canaveral.

 

 

 

Thanks

Oasis and Harmony are the same except the SL and CK are reversed. On Anthem there is a CL at the back of the ship. CK is no where near it.
