Rare Radio Posted March 16, 2010 Author #651 Share Posted March 16, 2010 >SNIP< Did you have any opportunity to see or get any information on the Central Park view cabins (w/o balcony)? I know you had a Cat D balcony, but we are booked on Oasis for next April for a family of 4 and the pricing makes this category more attractive than a balcony (and bigger too). However, if it feels to cramped or the location is not decent, I'll spend the difference and lose some space to go up to the balcony cabin. >SNIP< Yes. . . I met some friends at the meet and Mingle (Crusing Bubba), and they were nice enough to invite us to their cabin (Central Park View-Non Balcony) It appears that the Central Park View and Promenade View cabins are identical to the Balcony Cabins. . . which is very nice. The view is superb, and I think you will enjoy your room ! Crusing Bubba had a problem with their room, and were upgraded to a Balcony Central Park cabin, which again is identical to the Ocean View Balcony cabins. . .

Ocean Boy Posted March 16, 2010 #652 Share Posted March 16, 2010 The Red and Green STOP Lights on the Rockwall let the divers know if it is OK for Diving Oh my, a set of stop lights on a cruise ship. Now I am a bit nervous!:eek::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltsnh Posted March 16, 2010 #655 Share Posted March 16, 2010 There is a rental fee for Lounge Chairs and umbrellas.($5/ea) Little Divi Bay is the closest, and only about 3 miles... Maho Beach is over by the Airport, and could take about 45-60 to get there (It took us almost an hour due to traffic) The Rental car will cost $50-$75, depending on the car. We always rent a car, so we can do several things. There were many people there that took a taxi to Maho. One couple saild it cost them $25 ea way plus tip. Radio :rolleyes::rolleyes: Last time we were in St. Maarten we went on a tour and ended at Orient.... but I love the idea of going to Divi.... so just so I get this right you just go there and pay for a lounger and umbrella and you get use of their beach? Any other facilities there food/restrooms etc? Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio :rolleyes::rolleyes: Wow, thanks Radio. This is wonderful news (except for the fact that Crusin Bubba had problems and ended up having to move...might not want that cabin). If he's on line, maybe he'll see this and post to me so I can get some more info from someone who has actually been in these rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona Cruz Chic Posted March 16, 2010 #660 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Hey Radio, I was just looking at your link to your Oasis cabin photos. WOW...you sure do an awesome job taking pictures of every angle and detail. We noticed that the cabins on the Oasis seemed much smaller than Radiance or Voyager class ships....looking at the RC web site and comparing square foot cabin size they are a bit smaller. ......what is your opinion on how they compare? Hope your first day back to work wasn't too rough!! :D TIA *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conanc Posted March 17, 2010 #673 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Radio -- I do have a question for you. How comfortable were the chairs on the balcony? While I like the idea of the table, we spend ALOT of time out there and they just don't look all that comfortable to me. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I like the idea of the table, we spend ALOT of time out there and they just don't look all that comfortable to me. Thanks! I am wanting to know the same thing but perhaps for a different reason. I am a larger person and am afraid I may not fit, if that is the case, do they have other chairs they can bring to you?
