I may be alone in my thinking but it looks pretty awful to me.

I take it that means that we don't need to use our drink vouchers for mixed drinks during the 3-hr HH, am I correct?

Thanks for all of the info on the CLS! Now, I'm even more excited to experience the suite life, even if it is over a year away that we'll be in a CLS on Oasis!! Woot!! Woot!!

Thanks for your suggestion but United First Class did have the lay flat seats in a private cubicle - still no sleep for me. We have Delta Comfort Plus seats (for the extra leg room) for our upcoming flight to Vancouver, so I plan to carry on my neck pillow just in case!

Remember, if you want specialty vs regular coffee, "fresh" (fresh-squeezed OJ), and/or bottled waters, you will need to purchase the Refreshment package if not the Dx drinks package. Unless you already know this. Cheers!

I experienced a near death (DH says I actually died and was revived) experience just this last January. So, for my February 2026 birthday on Oasis, we decided to upgrade our balcony cabin to the Crown Loft Suite, which will be our first experience in a full suite and I'm hoping it'll be amazing! We plan to enjoy CK for most of our meals and, since we are both D+ with 5 drink vouchers each, we can enjoy additional drinks in the CL or SL, so no packages needed. On another note, I had never flown first class until last September, when we flew to Vancouver, cruised Hawaii, and flew back to Indiana from Honolulu. This had been on my bucket list for awhile but, I must say, I was not impressed. I have never been able to sleep on a plane and, for me, this was no different. Watched a movie until I felt sleepy, turned it off, tried to get some sleep but the sheep never arrived. No sleep, nada! My DH, DB and his wife were all sleeping like well-fed babies! Never again will I splurge for first class but I will definitely upgrade to comfort plus or business class for the extra leg room! DH says I can't sleep on a plane cause I'm too nosy! He's probably right but I would never admit it to him! LOL! Thanks for sharing your suite experience with all of us suite virgins!! Cheers!! Sal P.S. Great title for this thread to "hook" people into reading!! It hooked me!

Maybe they'll "mistakenly" throw out all of the costumes during her refurb this Fall. One can only hope!

Tom and I will be back on Oasis but not until September, 2025. Hopefully, Cats will be gone!🤞 Maybe they'll replace it with All Dogs Go To Heaven.🤔

The original poster stated they would be on "Oasis".

Your cabin should have boxes of tissues. At least, ours did just a few weeks ago. At least, that's one other thing they still provide. LOL!

We also bring a big bag of the "good" chocolate mini bars, such as Twix, Snickers, Milky Way, Hershey's, etc., to hand out to various crew members; don't forget the GS (Guest Services) folks, who have a very stressful job listening mostly to complaints all day. If no treats, just stroll by them and wish them a nice day! Yep, duct or duck tape saved my trip home from a cruise a few years ago. My garment bag zipper broke, so I had to use the tape to secure my clothes inside while leaving the ship. Wish I would have snapped a picture of it because it looked like a giant medicine ball!!! I was so afraid that customs was going to ask me to open it!! I used the whole roll of tape and had none left!! Luckily, all was well and I rolled my garment bag to our car in one big piece. LOL! Funny now; not so funny then! Remember, things happen!

OMG, I just saw the video! Ya beat me to it! LOL!

Reminds me of a song, "stuck in the middle with you." Now, that's in my head for awhile!

Just texted my dear friend, Cruising Grandma (Pinn), about the letter. She said that she received the letter by email today. So, it looks like all Pinns will be receiving the email.

I may be (probably) wrong but I thought that one could not use a drink package or coupons at the bionic bar, and drinks are always charged to the sea pass? I have never tried that bar, so don't know for sure. Anyone?

Tom and I are booked on the Serenade for February 14, 2025 for the 9 night, same one? We'll be getting off of the Utopia (out of PC) on February 14th, and driving on over to Tampa to board the Serenade. If you're interested in joining the roll call, here it is:

Welcome to CC! I would guess it would be that the cruiser probably gets out bid; however, I do not know for sure. Maybe someone else has better insight for this question. Cheers!

Had to go back to look again and, by golly, you're right! At least his voice isn't recorded.😉

We'll be on Radiance this September/October for a Panama Canal cruise from Vancouver to LA, then LA to Tampa. Someone told me that the carpets smelled bad, so, hopefully, maybe carpets, some furniture and bedding will be replaced!

Damn! I just re-read my last post! Hey, y'all knew I meant to say Owen. Old brain here!

Safe flight to all of you! Andrew was just a boy when we met him and he's grown into a handsome young man, thanks to Lisa! LOL! Following along like many others! Cheers!

Yes, I agree about other options for the meals other than breakfast. Unless you're in a full suite, have the UDP, or on a sea day, the only included breakfast option is the WJ. Since I have a scooter, we avoid the WJ due to the crowds, so the included breakfast at JR on Oasis class ships is perfect for us!

I can't believe some of you didn't mention one of the most important things! Breakfast is included in your cruise fare everyday at Johnny Rockets!! Even their delicious milkshakes! And their OJ is far better than the WJ and tastes really close to fresh squeezed! We always eat breakfast at JR on Oasis class ships! That's probably why I'm a fluffy gal!! LOL! Enjoy! Cheers!

I was able to buy the drink package for our upcoming NYE cruise but not for the following week in January, 2025 (doing a B2B). I check every day.

Hmmmm, give it a try and let us know! Sounds good to me! Cheers!
