molsonschooner Posted August 19, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2019 it has been a couple of days since I have seen a post of this , so if someone could remind me I would appreciate it. On Oasis class ships, how does one get invited to the sail away party on the heli pad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djvcr Posted August 19, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I believe it is just for suite guests and is not an open invite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ourusualbeach Posted August 19, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Suites and Pinnacle only. From what I’ve read at least one of the ships has stopped doing this entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope89 Posted August 19, 2019 #6 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) We were in concierge class cabin when we were invited. Only classic level and had under 100 points at the time. Eta - just realized OP was asking about Oasis class ships. I think we were on Summit when we got the invitation.

Was just on the Eclipse in Concierge Class and was invited to one. Must be a Celebrity Concierge perk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmerelda Posted August 19, 2019 #12 Share Posted August 19, 2019 We were on the Liberty about 5 years ago. We did get invited to the helipad when we left an island but it was not for sail away from the port. I don’t think they’ve done that since then. It was certainly fun though, great music, breeze, and champagne. My kind of afternoon. 😀. I’ve been on the Oasis class 3 times since then, nothing.

papaflamingo Posted August 19, 2019 #13 Share Posted August 19, 2019 We were on Allure in March in a Grand Suite and we had the sailaway on the Helo Pad out of Labadee. It was for Suites and Pinnacles only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted August 19, 2019 #14 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Our invites were on Oasis class only as Oasis class helipad is not open to the public. It was for suite/Pinnacle only. Radiance class has a helipad that is often open and anyone can use. That is a nice spot for any sail away or as you approach a port. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsKC08 Posted August 19, 2019 #16 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I just read a report from @John&LaLa who sailed Harmony 2 weeks ago (they are actually on again this week as well). They got an invite to a sail away reception on the helipad as they were leaving St. Thomas or St. Maarten I believe. I believe it is based on C&A level. But, this was just a couple weeks ago, so yes, it is happening. On past sailing on Harmony and Oasis, the helipad was open for sail-away from the home port.

Rare orville99 Posted August 19, 2019 #17 Share Posted August 19, 2019 The only time we've ever been invited out to the Helicopter Pad on an Oasis class ship was on the Total Eclipse cruise, and I believe that was for D+ and up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmerelda Posted August 19, 2019 #19 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Oville99, perhaps but we had to show our seapass card that day to go out on the helipad. It was invitation only event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was invitation only event. I can see how they would use that as a "private event" venue, since it is a unique viewpoint on the ship. One of the things we really liked about the Freedom class ships is the way the outdoor promenade wraps all the way around the ship. We always liked to walk down there instead of up on the pool deck, and having unrestricted access to the helipad was a big bonus. Especially when you have a pod of dolphins racing the ship 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mk-ultra Posted August 19, 2019 #22 Share Posted August 19, 2019 On my last two Oasis / Allure cruises the invite was printed and left in my suite on the first day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted August 19, 2019 #23 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) When we sailed the Allure May 5th and June 30th. both sail-a-ways on the helipad were non existent. We were told by Nancy the Concierge that they have a suite lounge social in its place. Prior to this the Eastern was held when we left San Juan, and the western held leaving Labadee. Surprised at this, glad to hear the Harmony still does one. Safe travels. Edited August 19, 2019 by Lionesss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ownedbypets Posted August 19, 2019 #24 Share Posted August 19, 2019 We cruised on Oasis last December and did not get an invitation. We were Star Class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank808 Posted August 19, 2019 #25 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Allure had helipad sail away and Oasis had the suite lounge reception with officers. Or it was the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
