So I'll be boarding Oasis for the 1st time in about 2 weeks and I thought it would be fun to start a thread so that all you Oasis experts on here could share your best tips/suggestions, must-do's and best kept Oasis secrets!

 

What should I make sure not to miss? Any cool tips that most people may not know about? I'll start making a list... can't wait!

Agree with Sabors idea....great tableside guacamole and chips for nominal fee of $3 dollars....margaritas are not cheap though. If you can swing it do Chops, really great appetizers and entres. Izumi tepan was fantastic too. Cat's looks like it may be a mistake.....jury is still out on that.

We are doing the Oasis again Feb 21st. I thought that Sabor was supposed to be a free food venue?

 

In the past both the Board Walk and Central Park are nice, Central Park also host the C/P café which is awesome i.e. select your own salads made in front of you and a huge variety of fresh sandwiches.

 

The atrium area is always happening with many a shop to visit.

 

Also the flow rider area can generate entertainment.

We enjoyed sailaway on the outside deck above the bridge wings. Go all the way forward in the deck 14 port side passenger corridor, through a door.

 

 

Also in the aft on deck 14 on the port side is good for sail away.

Agree with this. Didn't make it out there for sailaway but did manage 2x while we were at sea. Has a view finder out there where I zoomed in on a passing ship.

On Oasis, since inception in Oct, 2014, Sabor has always been an a la carte venue. It has no reservation or flat fee, but is a pay as you eat a la carte venue.

Sweet. We have 18 people sailing on deck 14 oasis on the 27th so we will check that out. 44 total, but 18 of our closest friends on 14 😀

 

And for those of you cruising december 27 say hello to the people in the neon green shirts that say "keep calm and cruise on". My 13yo designed them and there should be about 40 of us wearing them on day one. (a small number I know for the oasis) but still fun.

 

Mostly married, but a couple very cute single 21yo girls and several teen boys, some cuter and smarter than others (mine- haha). But (mostly) all of us a lot of fun.

 

Come find the loud fun high tipping hopefully high winning group in the casino from NC and a handful from MO. MY MIL will be winning blackjack most nights. My DH 3 card poker and roulette. Some nights better than others but always fun.

 

First night halfway to cococay where we should have made it last cruise will still be celebrating even though it's now sadly halfway to Bahamas which isn't nearly as good as rhyme. But we hopefully much healthier to enjoy our next port vs bed But i digress. We will come up with a new shot for that accomplishment at that time.

 

9 days now till we cruise. Contest to see what?? What should it be??

 

and for any nascar fans mike wallace will be in the house with our group. Ton of fun that man is.

Just an FYI

 

We always take those erasable magic markers and leave messages on the bathroom mirror.

 

Wipe off easisly with a kleenex or if you take an eraser.

 

Everyone sees them.

 

Dont take up space with the board.

I love guac and chips so I will happily pay the charge -- however, would the expensive margaritas be included in the drink package if within the price limit?

I would like to know this answer too... (Yes, assume we get the Premium Beverage package...)

Now that there is a Dog House onboard we will enjoy that for a complimentary snack or lunch from time to time.:)

 

 

 

For those who will be sailing after March 14 the Dynamic Dining reservations will be opening Jan 1. I am not sure how far they go out.

 

 

That is something I want to know for DD
