sealover61 Posted November 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 17, 2014 As Diamond members, how does it work to go out on the Hilo deck for Sail a ways? From home port or from one of the stops. Maybe they don't do this anymore IDK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted November 17, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 17, 2014 As Diamond members, how does it work to go out on the Hilo deck for Sail a ways? From home port or from one of the stops. Maybe they don't do this anymore IDK Hilo is in Hawaii. I assume that you mean "helo" deck, as in: helicopter. Yes? This area is off-limits to passengers, except under controlled circumstances. The ship holds special events, like a sailaway party for upper tiers of C&A, and a suite party, too. By invitation only. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerxspeedy Posted November 17, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Correct - Western Weather permitting they hold the Labadee sail away from the front deck. (Top tier party) The captain noted that the lower front ocean view cabins do not enjoy having people looking into their rooms. Eastern - no front sail away on our trip.

Eng23 Posted November 18, 2014 #6 Share Posted November 18, 2014 It would be by invitation only for a Diamond Event sail away. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGBCruiser Posted November 18, 2014 #7 Share Posted November 18, 2014 It would be by invitation only for a Diamond Event sail away. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Well, actually they moved our Cruise Critic Meet and Greet out to the helicopter pad when we sailed on Oasis last May. However, it was in the Caribbean at 1 p.m. and very hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it was in the Caribbean at 1 p.m. and very hot! That's pretty neat. Meet & Greet's are still an invitation only event. Nice and unusual that the ship decided to do that.

Deck 4 portside (smoking deck) has a stairway near the front of the ship. just climb up and keep walking and you're there. Helipad on Freedom, Radiance and Voyager class ships are all accessible to passengers (weather permitting) and either side of the outside promenade deck will get you there. Unfortunately that wasn't the OP's question... :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted November 19, 2014 #12 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Correct - Western Weather permitting they hold the Labadee sail away from the front deck. (Top tier party) The captain noted that the lower front ocean view cabins do not enjoy having people looking into their rooms. Eastern - no front sail away on our trip. Then they should close their curtains just like the folks in Promenade, Central Park, and Boardwalk rooms.

No worries Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app The question was about Oasis, but why do responders keep referring to other ships for comparison. The OP was asking about sailaway on Oasis.

Rare BillOh Posted November 19, 2014 #14 Share Posted November 19, 2014 We were invited to the helipad for sailaway from St Maarten earlier this year. Good to know. I've heard many reviews that included the sailaway from Labadee. I won't plan on it, but it will be a nice event if it does happen. Just went to my first one on Jewel Leaving Barbados. The Oasis class has the only bow deck that I haven't been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
