peteukmcr Posted April 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I normally provide a cruise review, but I’ve not yet got back to the U.K. as we’re spending a few days post cruise at Disney in Orlando. That’ll come later. However, my partner Patrick published a daily blog with photos which I thought you might like, so I’ve post the links below. Excuse any spelling mistakes/errors as it was mostly written on a relative small screen of an iPhone. Day 1 - Port Canaveral http://highseasescapades.co.uk/2018/...-one-boarding/ Day 2 - At sea http://highseasescapades.co.uk/2018/...ay-two-at-sea/ Day 3 - Labadee http://highseasescapades.co.uk/2018/...three-labadee/ Day 4 - Falmouth https://highseasescapades.co.uk/2018...mouth-jamaica/ Day 5 - At sea http://highseasescapades.co.uk/2018/...-day-5-at-sea/ Day 6 - Cozumel http://highseasescapades.co.uk/2018/...ozumel-mexico/ Day 7 - At sea https://highseasescapades.co.uk/2018...-day-7-at-sea/ Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3happykids! Posted April 25, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I loved reading Paatrick's daily blog. Well written. I am drooling at that strawberry lava flow. We sail in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare perfect match Posted April 25, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Thank you for posting the links to your blog. I enjoyed reading it, and the pictures, too! We will be back on Oasis again in September doing the same itinerary you just completed. Reviews and blogs like yours, or, as I call them, virtual cruises, help me get through the time until it is our turn on Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteukmcr Posted April 25, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Thanks for all your kind feedback. Hope the blog was of use to you heading for Oasis. Unfortunately we have to leave Florida today and head off back over the pond to the U.K. and back to work to pay for the next one!

peteukmcr Posted April 25, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I’m glad to hear that. How much family was on board? Sent from my iPhone using Forums To be honest, can’t say we noticed lots, but then again when there are 6000+ guests onboard it’s lucky if you see the same people more than once if you vary the locations you visit like we do as there are so many to choose from on an Oasis class ship.

We did get to deck 5 but escaped the squall as soon as it hit, so just returned to the cabin to watch sail away with our champagne. Yes, there’s always a next time.

VaTech8912 Posted April 25, 2018 #17 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Great job. I really enjoyed this format without all the comments in between the posts and days and days of waiting to get the full review. Can't wait to cruise again on Oasis in September. This will hold me over for a little while. Have a safe trip home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catrip1024 Posted May 4, 2018 #21 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Thanks for the great review! Love all the pictures and the blog style. You have made me rethink my drink package!

peteukmcr Posted May 4, 2018 Author #22 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Thanks for the great review! Love all the pictures and the blog style. You have made me rethink my drink package! And I may have to blog my trip for the folks back home. Sailing in 37 days!Glad you enjoyed it. For us, the beverage package when it was on sale was a no brainer. We did purchase in advance as I wasn't sure what we'd get it for onboard with our D+ discount, depending on the daily price. As it was, we would have got it for $49.50 per day including grats which worked out around the same as I paid online before sailing (all depends on exchange rate of £ to $ for us). Easily worked in our favour as we'd spend at least $15 - $20 a day on coffee (around $4.50), freshly squeezed juice at breakfast ($5) and soda ($3.25) plus grats before we had an alcoholic beverage. Then a regular cocktail ($9.95) before dinner and 2 glasses of wine at dinner (around $11 per glass) that alone comes to over $56. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
