Do you know if they still have an escape room on Freedom?  I thought they had one, but can't remember and don't see it for me to schedule.

Secondly, do you know in the gift shop if they have the water bottles with bling on them and a cap that looks like the front of Icon?  They were gorgeous when I saw a YouTuber show them on Icon, so I was hoping they are fleetwide.  Thanks in advance!

Oh wow, I wonder why she told me they hadn't left yet?  OH, I was looking at Cruise Mapper but failed to refresh, DUH, lol!  Thanks everyone!!!

My sister is on the ship and she just called me to tell me that they have not sailed yet.  Looking at the Port cam and notice the same thing.  Any ideas?

Ok, I found out what happened.  A child had a seizure and the mother fainted.  The ship is still in port.

My sister is going up top to check out what happened.  They are portside balcony but because the ship is backed in they are on the opposite side.

My sister is sailing right now on that ship and she was wondering why you were still in port.  I pray for the family.

Thank you everyone!  Yes, I used some of these facts in my presentation but I also found a photo of one of the Oasis sisters leaving I think Lauderdale where you can easily see the size of it in comparison to a normal palm tree and it is just spectacular!  That helped the most.  Thanks again all!!

Hi!  I am doing a presentation to Kiwanis on Wednesday and am trying to think of what I can compare the size of an Oasis class ship to that they can understand.  First thought was the mall, but I'm not even sure the length is the same.  Looked for the info online, but can't find the length and width of the mall.  Any other thoughts?  It's really hard to explain if you've never seen it, lol!  Thanks in advance.

Thanks.  My cousin is doing her honeymoon on Indy in Oct and I just wondered if that benefit is still available.

It's your daughter's birthday and the day should be special for her. It reminds me of the "everyone gets a trophy so they don't feel bad". Maybe she will not feel as special if you also decorate the door for your son. Each child should have their own special day.

 

DITTO!!!!!  Thank you soooo much for saying this!  My thoughts exactly....why can't the daughter get her special day without the son thinking that he is left out?  Give me a break!

I hope so!  If you do, would you please share it with me?  I was on Indy in March and now I have a client going there for her honeymoon in October and I'd like to know if any activities have changed.

Also, does anyone know if the escape room is open and if they still have the Love and Marriage game as well as the Quest going on?   Thanks in advance.

Oh, and can you book the shows, etc. in the app beforehand or has that changed?

Turns out that they were NOT open on Indy on our Feb 11 sailing.  Such a bummer!!!!

Anyone know if there are any special requirements for getting off the ship in Bimini?  We are both vaccinated and boosted.  Thanks.

And if they are, can you book them from your tv or the app?  I didn't see it available beforehand. Thanks!

Thanks.  I am shocked that they pulled this promo since they touted it so much.  I suspect that the IT department couldn't handle all the requests on the website.

Really?  So not giving away free cruises?  Interesting.  Thanks.

They canceled it. I received an email about it last night.

Anyone else having issues with the royalfreeshipping.com site?  Contest was supposed to go live at 12:01 am but it still isn't showing the contest.  Only redirecting to Royal's main site.  Sooo frustrated!

So does anyone know how far out you find out if you got the upgrade or not?  I have bid on 3 for my 8/20 sailing.  Thanks!

I am booked on the July 2 sailing on the Freedom. It’s has disappeared twice and reappeared once. Royal called me yesterday to ask about my vaccination status and they told me they are 100% still on. They are trying to determine capacity limits and are removing them from inventory from time to time. They are also trying to determine how many unvaccinated people will be on the sailing. My guess is if they have too many unvaccinated guests, they will stop selling. They success of these first few sailings are important, so they would rather have less people on the sailing than any cases on board. 
if you are really interested in booking, just keep checking. I expect some will pop back up again. 

Thank you!  I kind of gave up for right now and booked a *gasp* Carnival casino rate for August but will again be on Royal at Thanksgiving!

I just posted my dilemma with this same thing.  Take a look.  EVERYTHING from FL is showing Closed today, when yesterday it wasn't and I was trying to book Freedom on 8/13.  On Vicki's Coffee Talk today she said that many sailings were full to capacity, but I can't believe that ALL ships from July to August from FL are suddenly full when yesterday they weren't.  I wish i knew what was going on too.

So I looked yesterday to find a 3 or 4 nighter on Freedom just to get away and not have it cost toooo much right now, and I swear there were at least 25 or 30 different choices of cabins for July or August.  So I went on today to book one, and low and behold, EVERYTHING is gone!  Really?  Both for Mariner and Freedom for almost all of July and August?  I am devastated since I teach and can only really go during the summer months and the flights to St. Maarten or Nassau are just too expensive.  Anyone else notice this?  

I was on Vicki's Coffee Talk today where she said that there were a lot of closed sailings, but I never expected that!  Plus when I called Royal, two different people told me that Freedom had been cancelled up until Sept but I could not find anything out about that.  Any help anyone?

Thank you both!!!  I will relay that info to her.

First and foremost, this is NOT for me, but for a client.  This client has the dealer's choice rate as well as her wife.  Since they both have it, she wants to book each separately and then once onboard, change cabins.  Does anyone know if this works.  I told her I had no idea and probably wouldn't chance it, but has anyone done that?  Thanks in advance.
