  1. It's all tied to the booking number. If you have two cabins with two different booking numbers then I assume you would get a double allowance. I don't know how you ordered eight bottles unless you did it prior to them locking it down. Now, I just hope room service will bring me some bottles of wine. I know at least I can carry on a couple.

  2. Nope, separate orders for different days doesn't work. It's all tied to the booking number and is limited to two alcohol items, total. I just ordered two bottles of champagne for delivery on sailing day. Closed out the order and went back to order beer to be delivered the next day. No dice won't let me do it.

  3. I just noticed Nellie's cabana bookings had opened for our November 2014 Oasis cruise. I booked three since there are 15 of us. The site said six people are allowed. Two in the group are in suites so when the time gets closer I will try to do Barefoot Beach, which we had last time (pre-Nellie's) and then cancel the Nellie's. The Nellie's beachfront were $225.

  4. They say the worst are north bound California coast. I would tend to agree with that observation as we did a 15 day Panama from FLL to San Francisco and the last night from San Diego to San Francisco the closet door was flying open/close and the drawers were sliding in/out. Had it been the first part of the trip it would have been really bad. However, since it was the 14 day "no problem" just rolled over and went to sleep. It was way worse than our TA on the "small" Oceania ship in March out of Barbados.

  5. Great photos very professional. I have a question for anybody who knows. Are there balcony cabins for five? I know there are family suites with them that sleep six, but I can't really afford those since I (dad/grandpa) is footing the bill for four cabins and I'm getting a grand suite so the kids have to suffer.

  6. We did the LOTS in September and our kids upgraded us to a GS so we had access to all those extras. As pointed out, if you are willing to pay extra you get extra that's the way it is.

     

    Being a GS guest did not get us a cabana. It did get us on to Barefoot Beach with the "better" buffet lunch (actually the best food we had the entire trip). I did purchase two cabanas since our kids and grandkids were in a balcony and JS and could not get into Barefoot Beach. They say the cabanas are limited to six guests so I had to get two for the 10 of us.

     

    I thought the overwater cabanas would be the best but was talked into two beach ones instead. This was a good choice. I think we had S1 and S2, which are just inside the enterance gate. I would take those again in a minute. We were close to the buffet/bar and the walk from any of them is less than 30 seconds to the water. We had much more shade than the OWC, which was nice as we were more protected from the wind.

     

    Bottom line is the cabanas are well worth the money especially if that's the only way to get into Barefoot Beach.

  7. We were just in #1282 LOTS and there were two nights when I had to call about noise above us. It was around 2:00 AM and after like 20 minutes I finally called. The operator said, "oh, I think I know what that is" and a few minutes later it stopped. But, only for about half hour then started up again. Then after about five minutes it stopped for good. The second night it stopped after my first call.

  8. Just returned from the LOS and had GS, JS, and two balcony for the different family members. Spouse and I had the GS and the middle son, spouse, three year old, and 18m old had the JS. For sure the GS would be more than enough room for you. But so would the JS, expect the JS doesn't get the gold card perks that we really enjoyed. Our balcony in the GS was huge and the kids had adjoining three cabins with the balcony partions opened so it was hard to judge. The closet in the JS was a true "walk in" it was unbelievable. Our GS had plenty of storage space also, in fact this was the first cruise where we had empty drawers.

     

    Also, I doubt a JS would give you room you would really need with a one year old for sleeping purposes. Our kids ordered a crib, but it took up to much floor space so they had it removed. They ended up sleeping each with a kid on the main bed and sofa bed.

     

    I don't recall the JS, but in GS we had a drape that you could pull across the room. You could turn the TV so you could see it and let the baby sleep on the other side or you put the crib on the balcony and let him/her sleep out there (just kidding). Heck our bathroom was so large you could sleep in there (except flushing those toilets would wake anybody up).
