Bit of a Blog : Oasis of the Seas : B2B : Barcelona – Rotterdam : September 18th '14

[NorbertsNiece]

Hi - loving your blog - we are so excited to be on the Oasis in 3 weeks time.

My question is can I ask if your room number is correct?

Only asking as we have the cabin number you mentioned for our cruise and are not expecting it to be a connecting room?

Are you in 7168 or actually 7186 as the latter is a connecting room and I wondered (hoped) your'd mixed the last two digits up?! :rolleyes:

 

Also is that the only socket for the room? How do you fit more than 1-2 plugs in it with adaptors?

 

One of these days I'll actually be on a cruise your on and buy you a drink.

You were so helpful on here when I first started cruising and there have been several times you've either got on or got off a ship as we are doing the opposite!

 

:)

 

Good catch. Am in 7186.... connecting room..... I showed a pic of the door location. Last week neighbours were nice and quiet..... there are half a dozen cases outside that room right now.... The pic is of the only visible socket. I have an extender I travel everywhere with 4 sockets. I just looked under the bed and there's one socket by the phone line.

 

Just had an unofficial roll call meet at the pool bar. The M&M invite has not been received by all..... the time has been moved tomorrow and I've popped a note to that effect on the Community noticeboard. Muster is imminent. Weather is much cooler today.....rain earlier....... sweltered in Naples and almost shivering in Barcelona....

Many steep steps. They do have disabled access via lifts.

Wouldn't be a bit of a blog without a pigeon shot

 

 

What's left of the Circus Maximus.... we were driving by and just had the chance to snap a small portion..... apparently the Rolling Stones played in concert here.... Ben Hur raced here....

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Linda!!!! What a wonderful job you are doing.

 

I may have missed it, but did you do Rome with Rome In Limo? They seem to be so highly recommended that I have already bookmarked them for our planned 2017 Med cruise.:)

 

I hope Part 2 of your B2B is amazing!

We guided ourselves around..... we had 2 hours.... and the crowds to contend with.
