DJLDRUMS Posted September 6, 2021 Author #76 Share Posted September 6, 2021 wingatesl ....ALL your feedback and photos have been an inspiration to everyone, especially those that will be sailing in a week to the end of October. What's the current "tempo" (pardon my pun) and feel of everyone that you've seen on the ship other than happy to be cruising again. Btw, have you been able to get a passenger count from Guest Relations, they may or may not want that information given out. But those that have been following the CDC's chart for all of the cruise ships will know that the Oasis went from a yellow to a green status a couple of days ago. They update their chart every week.

No tracelets Interesting difference — nice not to need them since they were bigger than the V bands. We had them on Ovation on the Aug 20 cruise, along with the vaccination bands, so we had to wear both. Maybe the new protocols are working well and they don’t feel the need for the tracelets now?

I was told about 2600. drinks come fast, crew is happy! The promenade is very slow (it usually is on sea days with good weather). The solarium is busy as is the pool deck. I would say 60-70% of loungers are taken. Definitely a bit more laid back than our last time on here, but let’s see how it goes tonight. Most everyone I have talked to is staying on the ship tomorrow so I expect shenanigans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think many will stay on board at Port Canaveral ? I know we bought the Canaveral Space Center excursion through RC. Good to have calm seas and sunshine...here's one for you to ask about....if you can find out, will they be having The Quest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazorbackIslandGirl Posted September 6, 2021 #91 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Thank y'all for all the info! We board in 13 days & all of this is so helpful! It's been hard to do any planning with nothing to go on. This at least gives us Antonio idea of what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about on deck 15 at Lime and Coconut bar at 4:00ish? (time flexible). I'm wearing my Eagles shirt with an Eagles Marti Gras Beads. Patricia will have her Pink Eagles hat and beads as well (it's NFL Opening Day). 6 Days to go!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixbirches Posted September 6, 2021 #96 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I have a weird question. Do you remember around what time you sailed under the Verrazano? We don’t want to miss it, since this is Oasis!!! But also trying to plan around dinner. I should know this since we’ve done this sail away many times, but I’ve never paid attention to how long it takes since sail away has always been earlier than 5:00. I’m thinking it’s about an hour to sail to the bridge…. But, maybe a little less? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJLDRUMS Posted September 7, 2021 Author #100 Share Posted September 7, 2021 wingatesl.....how's the MDR waiter and assistant waiter you have. Are the tables spaced apart more, would you say they have more tables to serve ? And how do you find the selections and quality of the food, portions, desserts etc. Or are they the usual menu that rotates among all their ships. What time did your Compass mention you'll arrive at P C as well as the departure time. If you stay on board tomorrow I'm sure you'll have plenty more questions from interested cruisers looking for your answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
