"Live" From Oasis of the Seas. November 4-11, 2018 - Eastern Itinerary

[MrFunInTheSun]

Teak wood is getting a nice cleaning. Teak wood is so fun to clean and treat. Spent many a summers when I was a kid scrubbing entire teak decks on boats....

 

 

 

Nice place to sit and peer out into the blue..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice snack from Solarium Bistro

Amusing that someone can be mad about waking up early while on vacation, just turn over and go back to sleep! My husband and I are early risers and love the quiet times on the ship before everyone is up and wondering around. Definitely the best time to take pictures around the ship. On our last cruise we enjoyed coffee at Cafe Promenade every morning while we waited for Windjammer to open at @ 7 and our kids to wake up. Enjoy your day at sea.

 

Exactly. Those early morning strolls before folks wake up are the best.

Oh how I LOVE the champagne bar!  We had a fabulous set of bartenders in their last October as well.  Hoping they may still be there in December.  

 

Don’t think it’s the same people. Our favorite ones from last November are at different bars now. Patricia Dorie, and gang were so good last year. She is still on the ship but at a bar on the pool deck. Seems like the wrong bar to put her at. She brought such elegance and did so well making those craft martinis at Champagne Bar.

It’s just now slightly after 9am and beach pool and chairs are almost fully taken...

 

 

 

 

Another of my favorite views...

Could the reason the lady from "possible NY" was mad because she is on deck four and someone on deck five walking track was running?  May want to check it out, but as far as I remember on our daily morning walks...there are signs that prohibit running/jogging on that track.  Walkers only.  That is due to the pax just below on deck four cabins that may be sleeping.  Large person jogging just over their heads..thud..thud..thud at 6 am.  😮   😉   

 

Still very much enjoying your review.  Gets my appetite up for our upcoming Oasis cruises this season.  First one...just three weeks away.  🙂

Have a great sea day Dale.  Enjoying your review and all of your great pictures.  Could you still see a lot of damage in St. Maarten from the hurricane?  

[sid_9169]

I just happened upon your review this morning and binged the entire thing up to this point... Great review, and will help out with my current 22 day countdown the the Norwegian Bliss... Also, loved the t shirt "Cruise Critic Gate Survivor"... What a terrible week that was...

[JaniceB]

Finally a picture of a Cosmo, my favorite.  I will be tasting one very soon.  

 

I love St. Maarten, spent a week there in May, I think I saw the same dogs. 

 

The art work looks fantastic on the Oasis. 

 

Thanks for sharing all the pictures of the ship and pools, too.

So, did you enjoy the peppered bacon appetizer at Chops? I am soooo looking forward to it!😋 Thanks for the great review and pictures!! I really enjoyed virtually cruising with you!! Ahhhh, rest, relax and soak it all in on your sea days and, when I see all of those sad faces upon returning to Florida, I just smile and say, "there's always the next one!" Cheers to good friends and a good life!😎

Naw she wasn’t near me on walking track. We were se the coffee station on promenade, was when we were pouring our coffee she got grumpy she woke so soon. 😀 Folks on walking/running track were behaving this morning. Three weeks will be here before you know it. This is my favorite class ship, you are in for another super cruise.

St Maarten damage is still pretty rough.

Glad you made it by Sid. Am looking forward to following along your adventures on the Norwegian Bliss. 

 

Glad you like my shirt. Those were a rough few days. I’ve gotten pretty used to this mobile version of the site.

Pepoered bacon was good, we had three of them at our table. 😀

[MrFunInTheSun]

The fake sales are going on and folks are flocking to buy stuff they don’t need..

It's early Christmas shopping and I'm sure the lucky folks who will be receiving the gifts will be absolutely thrilled... 

[JaniceB]

Can't wait to show my family the fake sale picture, I am sure they will be part of that  group!

Have a wonderful luch.

[MrFunInTheSun]

Met up with part of our group at the Boardwalk...We had lots of fun laughs and inappropriate conversations. 

 

 

 

 

Watched some folks climb a wall..

 

 

 

 

 

Then we went on the merry go round. We took some pictures on a moms phone of her kid for her since she didn’t join our fun. 

 

 

 

Then we made our way to Izumi for some lunch...

I was just teasing you, since you called deck 5 the "walking/running" track.  No running on that deck...bad boy.  Now for your punishment I suggest two extra martinis tonight!!  That will teach you!  🍸🍸 😄

I can handle two extra tonight since I didn’t drink much last night. 😀

Oh the fun they will have. Black Friday shoving, screaming, elbowing at sea.
