So Excited! Cruise Time!!!First sighting at cruise pier Oasis of the Seas #1

 

First sighting at the cruise pier of the Beautiful Oasis of the Seas. Ride with us in the shuttle to the pier. We can hardly contain our excitement!

 

As I mentioned above the shuttle service to the pier was included in our hotel rate.

Don't forget about my disclaimer: Sorry it is not full screen...I did not have a chance to look at any of the videos while cruising (having too much FUN!! LOL) and once I got home and checked them out I realized I should have recorded them Landscape.

I didn't use the internet cafe this time because the WiFi is so good all over the ship that I used my own devices....sometime I used my android tablet that I got from AT&T for ninety-nine cents and sometimes I used my iphone...

 

with the internet package I had, I just had to sign out of one device before signing onto the other...

 

if you need to sign into two devices at the same time you can get the 2 device package for a little extra..

 

these are a few pics form my June 2014 Oasis cruise...it looks the same...

That is good to know PR Cruiser. Thanks for posting that info.

 

Do you remember the price for 2 simultaneous devices?

I dont remember right now but I am going to look at it.

 

We took advantage of the diamond member discount that is $29.95.

 

We have actually tropical storm Erika near so we are expecting a lot of rain starting today and tomorrow.

First off I hope Erika didn't affect you all too much.

 

Yes that Diamond discount is GREAT!

 

Ok, let us know if you find the simultaneous user price.

The FLL sail away is fun, there are lots of condos, and the folks blow air horns wave and cheer from their balconies as we go by (hey, its Saturday, they are blowing off some steam!). Then there are the folks on the point and the beach all waving, the pilot boat was using the PA to say "Oasis, make some noise". No kidding, who knew our Coast Guard were cheerleaders!?

 

Then you pass many seaside estates, which are something to see. Be sure to check out the house with the Flowrider in the side yard, really, he had a full size regulation Flowrider, which he was surfing on as we went by (he probably saw it on the passing ship one day and just ordered it from the Billionaire Catalogue, but that's speculation on my part)

We were so busy enjoying Sailaway that we forgot to look for the private FlowRider.

 

Has anyone else ever noticed it as you were Sailing away from FLL?

Random Shots - Library and Adventure Ocean

 

 

The Library is a wonderful place to relax if you need to or if you want to grab a book. And don't forget there are board games.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I will probably say more about Adventure Ocean later. The teens in our group didn't use it much this time. There were 3 of them (2 girls and a guy) who hung out together and they pretty much made their own fun, but here's a few shots of Adventure Ocean. I have some compasses if any one wants me to scan them in. Otherwise you can search here on CC and others have already posted them.

Beautiful story and photos..I'm sailing in Oct :) so excited!!!! Thanks so much. I must eat gluten free and from your menu shots looks like they had many choices :) thank you sista!!!

[LuCruise]

Awesome review with great pictures!

 

The pool looks pretty crowded. I'm guessing it was a sea day. Did you find the overly crowded or were they ok to go in?

Thank you LuCruise,. I'm glad you are enjoying the review.

 

Yes, that is a sea day in the Beach Pool pictures. I never really hung out in that particular area during this cruise. Don't forget you also have the pool in the Solarium. That's where I spend a lot of my pool time lately and it's never crowded in that area.

 

Please be sure to come back again. Thanks for rolling with a sistah! :cool:

Hi Hozhoni: Thank you so much for taking the time to post something. I really appreciate it. I'm glad you are enjoying the ride.

 

You don't have long before you sail! :cool: Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

And I beleive they also have gluten free in the Windjammer. Just remember to ask in any eating venue what's available. They may have some choices that aren't widely advertised.

 

You are welcome, my Sistah!!! Be sure to come back again!

Aqua Theater and Rock Climbing Wall

 

This is one of my favorite places to watch shows. Maybe because they are all so different. It is at the end of the Boardwalk on Deck 6. It seems strange to have an open area like this on a Cruise Ship but I just love it. As I said before we could watch some of the activities from the balcony of our cabins.

For those looking for a "Live" Oasis Review this week this guy is Hilarious! And he plans to use Periscope at some point as well.

 

 

http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2254389

 

 

Here's his first post...

 

Finally. I thought this week would never come. It's been a grueling six months since we slowly crawled off the Quantum on all fours. However now it's time for us to stand upright, turn around and moonwalk our way back on to the Oasis. (Cue the Michael Jackson Billie Jean 8-track. Where is my 1984 red leather zipper jacket?)

 

This will be my first time buying the unlimited wifi package so I had this revolutionary idea to post LIVE from the ship. It's an unheard of move! And to make this LIVE review even more LIVE---LI---ER, I will periodically periscope throughout the trip. (periscope name is @yorkvillain). I'll also post some god awful pictures and provide some terrible commentary.

 

Here are two photos that I took of the Oasis while flying around with my jet pack:

Central Park (Deck 8) is always one of my favorite places on the ship. I have never found it crowded. You have the beautiful greenery to enjoy and in the evenings the music just adds to the ambiance.

 

Here's is where you will find Park Cafe (sandwiches, salads, delicious desserts and that Roast Beef Sandwich that everyone raves about) 150 Central Park, Chops, Vintages and Giovannis. The Coach Store and the Art Studio...

 

I met one of Horticulturists one day and she was a delight to speak with...Imagine taking care of this beautiful garden on a Cruise Ship....

 

In the evenings I would walk thru this area on my way to the MDR if I didn't want to walk down to deck 5 and walk across the Royal Promenade....

Night Time in Central Park...it is simply BEAUTIFUL.

 

The lights come on and be sure to check your compass to find out when the music will begin. There is usually live music every evening.

 

 

These are Central Park View cabins. No balcony Central Park Deck 8. The Cental Park Balconies begin Deck 9.

Captain's Reception from the Rising Tide Bar

 

We found ourselves on the Rising Tide Bar just before Captain Tyre Selvag from Norway came out to speak. During his evening reception on the first formal night he introduces all of the department heads and gives you the statistics for the cruise. Me and one of my girlfriends were the only ones on the Rising Tide Bar at the time. The Activities Director Brenen told us to stay on board and he would give us the best seats in the house. It turned out they were really the best seats in the house because the Rising Tide Bar rose halfway and we had a clear shot to see the Captain. Also, because of the position of the Bar no one else could board at that time.

 

Check out the video in a post below. It is rather long but you can watch it in segments if need be.

 

Also, I took this time to answer questions on Periscope because we couldn't really hear all that the Captain was saying. I have seen the presentation so many times that I kind of knew what he was saying and people had a lot of questions that night on Periscope. When you sail be sure to go to this reception. Free champagne, a chance to take a picture with the Captain and meet all of the Department Heads.

 

Look for Brenen doing various things as an Activities Director. He even told us to look for him on the Stilts in the parade. As soon as I find that picture I will post it. He's in the reception video. Tell him Ms. Lillie that introduced him to Periscope said hi.
