megacruiser Posted March 9, 2014 Author #576 Share Posted March 9, 2014 From outside the Windjammer lobby is a wide deck that goes forward right to the Solarium upper lever. It overhangs the part of the pool decks offering shade on Deck 15, for those who seek it. In the next photo, if you look up to Deck 17, that is the location of the private deck for Gold Card holders, meaning those in Suites, not to be confused with Crown and Anchor Gold members.

megacruiser Posted March 9, 2014 Author #577 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Deck 17 Plan The Viking Crown Lounge sits directly on top of the Windjammer… …and is adjacent to the Loft Suites, which occupy an area to the aft that formerly would have been part of a much larger lounge. Access to the Pinnacle Lounge is also from this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megacruiser Posted March 9, 2014 Author #578 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Unlike other ships the Viking Crown Lounge view to the front is relatively narrow and is not as impressive because it does not tower above what lies in front. So not as good for watching the seas ahead that can be experienced on other vessels in the fleet. In fact I get the impression the Viking Crown was very underused. Night view looking directly forward from the Viking Crown Lounge Next will be Day 8, Disembarkation, most certainly the biggest failing of the entire cruise… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caneguy Posted March 9, 2014 #579 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Great review!! We will be on the Indy in less than 3 weeks (woohoo!!) and we are also flying into Orlando for a day at Universal. Can I ask you how long it took you to drive to FLL and what route did you take? We are driving down the day of the cruise so i want to be sure and leave enough time. Thanks You travel on the Florida Turnpike to I-595 EAST and that leads directly into the Cruise Port. It takes about 3 to 31/2 hours to make the drive. Enjoy your cruise!

justchar Posted March 9, 2014 #580 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Great review! My family will be on Oasis in June and we're all looking forward to this cruise. You said you have the menu to the Solarium Bistro. My husband and I are thinking of dining there one evening. Have you posted that menu and I missed it, or is it coming?

Sent from my SPH-L720 using Forums mobile app Thank you justchar for the feedback. Much appreciated. I have not yet posted the Solarium Bistro menu. The next thing to come is Day 8 and disembarkation. Then some bits and pieces that were missed, including photos and a summary of the overall experience. Then all the speciality menus not yet posted. Then the full restaurant wine list. Then, but only if there is sufficient interest, other wine and drinks lists including for the pub. Then miscellaneous other things like laundry list, in-room bar price list etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volunteer cruiser Posted March 9, 2014 #582 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Megacruiser, I am very much interested in the Solarium bistro menu and wine list. Thanks for continuing the review. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCgirl89 Posted March 9, 2014 #583 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Megacruiser, thank you so much for your fabulous review. My husband and I will be sailing on the Oasis for the first time in May. Your detailed review and wonderful pictures have helped us become familiar with the ship. I'm sure I will feel like I have already been there after seeing all of your pictures. We are thankful for your hard work and time spent posting your review. If you have any drink/cocktail menus that have prices listed, I would be interested in seeing those. We are still debating on purchasing the premium drink package. I'm not quite sure it would be a wise purchase, so any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

Charpit418 Posted March 10, 2014 #584 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Thank you for this wonderful review. Just found it today and read through most of it. We will be on the Oasis on the May 10th sailing, Can you tell me if there is a night where they serve lobster at no additional cost in the MDR? I thought maybe it would be the second formal night, but I didn't see it on the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charpit418 Posted March 10, 2014 #588 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Thanks for the info Caneguy. But I looked twice at the MDR menu posted here for Wednesday and I did not see lobster - just the one you have to pay for. I did see the prime rib. Am i missing something?

But I looked twice at the MDR menu posted here for Wednesday and I did not see lobster - just the one you have to pay for. I did see the prime rib. Am i missing something? It's called the Fisherman's Platter. I believe there is shrimp along with the lobster tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of time involved in editing and uploading those extra photos, so will only include them if there is a significant genuine interest.

Buckeye State Cruisers Posted March 10, 2014 #596 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I love your pictures so much that I have gone back to page 1 several times and looked at them again. :D We are going on the Oasis in October (2nd time for us) and our DS is taking his girlfriend (a 1st time cruiser). I showed her your review and she is now more excited than ever. Thank you for such a great review and amazing pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronsangel Posted March 10, 2014 #598 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Still following and loving this review. We are sailing on the Oasis on may 10th, and I cannot get enough information on her! Keep it coming...every detail is exciting to me! Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience with all of us :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipaheadannie Posted March 10, 2014 #599 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Please share all the bits & pieces like laundry price list, pub price list. What may seem trivial to those that have sailed on Oasis before is invaluable info for 1st timers like myself. Do we have to book shows etc online before boarding? Thank you for taking the time to do this. I'm following to the end and then will re read probably many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nato Posted March 10, 2014 #600 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I can't thank you enough for all the time you've spent sharing your trip. Everything you have included has been so helpful, entertaining and informational! I'd love to see specialty menus, bar prices, etc. if you have time to post them. Best review I've ever read!!
