transam84 Posted March 14, 2014 Author #101 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Chops We love Chops. We always try to have a dinner at this restaurant when sailing Royal Caribbean. For tonight I pre-ordered a celebration cake to go along with the Romance Package. I was a little apprehensive since they told me the smallest cake served 20. But it worked out. I think 20 slices would have been really small pieces and took ½ back to our room. Dinner was very good as usual. So I will start with a bit of food porn. ' In addition to the engagement celebration it was my mother-in-law’s birthday. So of course we had to celebrate that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snap4876 Posted March 15, 2014 #107 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Trans am I too am booked on oasis in a aqua suite. This sounds crazy but I'm from old bridge originally now in Jackson and my suite can you guess is 10-730 thanks for info. I did read reviews about soot but was also told by rccl rep that it was taken care of. I got a few questions being in suite is it worth booking the shows was told suite guests get priority seating. Did my time dining is it best eating in room since full menu offered o main dining room? Or a speciality restaurant?

TheBreedster Posted March 15, 2014 #112 Share Posted March 15, 2014 So I'm a little curious about how the Oasis handles the heat of a Caribbean summer with an open air ship? You may be in the middle of the ship, but there is still no roof. I would have to assume they are blowing cool air into this space?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmy Posted March 16, 2014 #118 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Laura ~ enjoying your review. Missed seeing you at the Meet and Mingle. Were you there??? Also I have a few photos of you and your party hanging the banner on your balcony. I took them from across the way on Deck 11 public balcony. I did post a couple on the roll call thread. Oasis still delivered the WOW for me on sailing #7 ready for sailing #8 in October :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam84 Posted March 16, 2014 Author #119 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Did the cake taste as good as it looks? Yes, it was quite good. It was chocolate cake with rasberry filling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did my time dining is it best eating in room since full menu offered o main dining room? Or a speciality restaurant? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Wow, small world. We live right off of route 9. We also have a house in Bayville. We booked all our shows in advance, but IMO did not need to. They never took our reservation just waved us in. And yes, at least in the theater and ice show there were special seats for suite guests. It is really a matter of preference if you eat in the suite or dining room. We loved eating on the balcony, definitely take advantage of it on a few occoasions. We love Giovanni's and Chops. We thought it was worth the extra and also loved Johnny Rockets and the Seafood Shack for more casual dining. You are going to love the suite, just go in it with the right expectations. Feel free to ask me any questions you like and will try my best to answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were so busy preparing for the engagement we could not make it. It was bit stressful leading up to it. We had lots of prep. Also a bit difficult getting around with the moms so we did missed some stuff. We will just have to go back. I do feel really bad I did not get to meet anyone in person. We have also been very busy since our return, and I have been writing as you an see. Will check out our roll call. Thank you so very much. Hope to meet up with you some day!
