Stranworst Posted October 1, 2014 #551 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Good review. I was on the cruise there as well getting off in Rotterdam. Good to see you could avail of the wifi. I got the unlimited package for the week to use on my iPhone and thought it was pathetic. It was ok for checking emails and Whatsapp, but if I ever needed Facebook or to watch a video someone sent me it was hopeless. SnapChat and YouTube were almost non usable the whole time. For the price I paid I was hoping for a decent signal. I know we were on the ocean a lot of the time but then they should have priced it accordingly! I agree with what you said about the restaurant avilability, a few times we checked and it had the Windjammer or Park Cafe as 'red' and they weren't even half full. Loved the Kummelweck and the Cuban paninis in Park Cafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHeadTexan Posted October 1, 2014 #552 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Fabulous review! I have been following along since the beginning and have thoroughly enjoyed your trip. Your review has made me even more giddy to try out the Oasis in November. I didn't think it was possible for me to get giddier. :D Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchclogs Posted October 1, 2014 #553 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Incredibly well organised..... and my case was first in line..... Some people have to have their luggage scanned.....

funnel Posted October 2, 2014 #565 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Erik and Lennart heading for their transfer We did an excursion combined with an airport transfer. We visited one of these during our excursion: After that we had six hours wait in Schiphol before our flight back to Sweden. Glad we found a lounge with some food and free wifi for our wait. The first day of the second cruise (Sept 23) I found this sign just outside of the Loyalty Ambassadors place: It must have been the fastest transatlantic cruise ever, only one sea day between Fort Lauderdale and Malaga... :D Linda, it was great meeting you! We ran into you almost everywhere onboard. Hope to see you on another cruise in the future! What about Celebrity Equinox in the Caribbean in March 4, 2016 (already booked)??? :D /Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Posted October 2, 2014 #566 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Which video Ron? I was looking thru youtube and there was someone from Rotterdam that came down and was video tapping the Oasis and I was sure someone looking like you flashed thru one part of his video. It was more of a side and back shot, but I was thinking it could have been you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtazz17 Posted October 3, 2014 #567 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Find the "secret spot" on Deck 5 aft.......you have to enter the track and do a little walking to the back of the ship to find it!! It is an awesome view!! Can't wait to see YOUR photo here! Its funny to find out this is a secret spot.I guess most people dont exercise on vacation because I saw this spot on day one of our cruise.But I run everyday so thats why I guess.

Enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlOEj1gPjeo#t=370 Linda, I can only follow the other readers of your cruise blog. Wished I had the chance reading it during the cruise. At certain moments I had the same view of things, and in the future I prefer smaller vessels, but certain places have been very pleasant, like sitting at the end of Deck 5, looking into the waves. Do you have a contact adress of Jan and Helga (Kuddeldaddeldu), because Im want to thank them for preparing the information about the building yard. Also I was disapointed about the dealing with the meet and mingle, because on Splendour oft he Seas weh ad been offered the Viking Crown Lounge with more representatives of the officers and a reasonable catering. Im sorry not to come in time to the MDR for lunch, but we found out that the opening times for lunch in MDR had to be followed as early as possible. Many thanks for your organisation and for your information by your blog. It was nice to meet you there. Panama from Bremen, Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Michele did a good job..... my nerves kicked in; I could have arranged some 'mingling'. Being on 2 decks was definitely a problem as I had no idea how many people were seated upstairs. We were definitely time constrained where crew members were concerned. May I suggest you post something on the roll call to contact Jan. Such an interesting fellow cruiser.
