Thanks so much for your awesome review! Always enjoy them. We went to the beach for a week half way through your cruise and I had to catch back up this evening after we got home. Looks like you had a great time. I have never been on the Oasis class and don't know that I ever will. Love the smaller ships.

 

While the mega ships are definitely not my favorite, I do think it is worth trying. I had ruled it out for many years until I was convinced to at least try, and I'm glad I did. There are some really neat features on Oasis class that are worthwhile experiencing.

 

Thanks for following - I'm glad you came back after your trip to the beach to catch up! :cool:

I was down in the galley and they were making shrimp cocktails hundreds of them. They must have had a lot to move.

Also looked like lamb shank?

Robyn, thank you so much for review. So looking forward to my trip in June. Any recommendation what to do in san juan? thank you

 

 

Hi there - you're welcome! I loved doing it :cool:

 

Hmmm....what to do in San Juan?? I guess it depends on where your interests lie......For me, I absolutely love exploring Forts and Caves. I actually research my cruises and plan them based on how many caves I can explore in 7 days :o I also make sure that my cruise takes me to St. Maarten so I can go over to Maho Beach and watch the planes land - I get as close to the fence as possible for the best view!

Thanks Robyn, I actually remember the Freedom Feb 15 review it ended up with a huge following and was 40 or 50 pages. I have yet to try Oasis class-next year is booked, still like Freedom class and also Jewel(Radiance class) going smaller feels like I'm more of a VIP :)

No need to fly in early. I'll show you how to get it all done in seven days.

LOVED reading your review. DH and I LOVE the smaller ships also. We love the Freedom and Liberty. We are getting ready to sail Navigator. We are wanting to sail the Allure or Oasis. The only question is, do you have to make reservations for "EVERYTHING"? And, what I mean, is, for the shows? How far in advance do you have to make reservations? And, what if you just eat in the dining room every night? WE usually eat at the early seating. Is that the same, on this class of ship?

Is the only ship tour the $119 one or are there other ones? I was thinking about doing it but it seems a little $$.Great report Robyn!

Also, did you do any photo packages?

 

I am not sure what tour you are referring to? Is that the "All Access Tour"?

 

No, we didn't purchase a photo package.....we just got the 3 free D+ pics we were allowed for free. To be honest, we usually avoid the photographers lol :o

 

Glad you enjoyed the review!!

I should not have read that at the hospital. Several people are looking and wondering what I'm laughing so hard at.

 

 

I don't see what's so funny......you've known this about me for years :rolleyes:

 

(happy I could give you a morning chuckle ;))

Robyn, if you got 3 free pictures, I guess one of them was your daughter's C&A perk. You posted that she is 20. Did she start getting the Adult D/D+ benefits like the free picture and internet perk (but not the alcohol) at 18?

 

My grandson is just weeks shy of 17 so I think he is still stuck with just the teen perks that apply to all levels and can't get the picture or internet but it would be nice if he got the perks at 18 (although I told him this is the last cruise I'm taking him on ;p).

Judy, I didn't notice when she started to get the adult D+ perks? She is 20 now, so maybe it was when she was 18? :confused:

Yes, I meant the All Access Tour. We are only gold (this is our third RCL cruise), so we don't get a lot of the perks!!

I think the All Access Tour would be amazing - and if I didn't have the perks I do, I would most likely purchase it just to see how everything works on a ship! I say go for it, and I don't think the price is unreasonable for what you get :D
