I am doing the Allure crossing next Nov 2020. Is the crossing going to be a "crew only" sailing? Thanks in advance, I'm really enjoying the videos. As far as I'm aware, there will be guests onboard. I plan on making videos during the crossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on making videos during the crossing. Chris, Everything I have read this is a non revenue sailing with only crew aboard. When you search Oasis sailings, there is no transatlantic on Royal's website or various cruise websites that list sailings. Anyhow, I look forward to the videos and reports of sea conditions in the open Atlantic. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on the March 8 sailing, so might get to say hi before you leave. Best of luck for the transfer over to Oasis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking to see if you can find out why the first 3 sailings from Florida have been closed to bookings. Has the drydock been extended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so looking forward to seeing you and Andrea on Nov. 29th. I see the candy I brought you and Andrea didn’t help fattening you up. Lol Yes, you know me by sight. I don’t know if that’s good or not Yes, I’m a pain. 🙂. Gotta have my Evian in the casino, always wearing my Empress of the Seas or blue sweatshirt. When will your contract on the Oasis end? When do you expect to be back after vacation on the Oasis? I don’t have any room to book anymore until February or March. 😞 By the way, what is Andrea’s favorite candy or snack? I’m excited for you. Terri Hi Terri! Yes, it's a shame we won't see each other now. Haha! I will have to find a new friend to give me candy. I always knew you were coming onboard every time Andrea asked me to make sure the bar has Evian water. Andrea likes a lot of healthy snacks. No sugar! Some sort of healthy nuts she will like. I'm not sure what my schedule is for next year yet, but I'm sure we will meet again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulsacoker Posted November 1, 2019 #361 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Hi Chris, have they named a replacement for you on Indy? wondering is they promoted someone on board or transferring from a different ship? Just asking for a friend 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing, but was not sure if he would know. He said yesterday he boards in 8 days, so that would be the day before she is scheduled to leave Cadiz... hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goofyfanatic Posted November 3, 2019 #372 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Chris, Just got back from Anthem and had a casino offer for Oasis but not until end of May. Sorry I won't get to see you. Quick question for you. In the past if I was just short of the next level future cruise certificate the Casino Host would be more than happy to upgrade my certificate. On the last two cruises I have been told that is not possible and that I would need to call Casino Royale when I get home to take care of it. On Empress I pushed back. I was at 2380 points at closing of the casino last night of a five night voyage and was told by the host that its not up to him. Leaving the casino (where everyone knew me) the Casino Manager said that he hoped to see me soon as I spent to so much time there and didn't throw a fit when I lost (which I did a lot on that trip). My response to him was a polite "I think I might try another cruise line for a change". He literally came running after me to ask why and when I explained it to him he grabbed me by the arm to one of his phones to fix it. This time I ended up at 2182 and was told flat out no by Alex on Anthem. I didn't fight it as I am getting so many offers that are better than what is on the current "inside cabin list". So my question is this...does the casino host have the ability to give an upgraded cert or not? Thank you and keep up on the videos...I love them and look forward to them.

You can give tips to specific crew members through guest services. Interesting thread. Thank you. When you mention 'all tips go into a pool' does that mean the extra tips above prepaid gratuities? We always give our room steward and assistant cash tips and I have asked if they are allowed to keep. I don't think they understand my question.
