Avoid the Oasis if you don’t like Cats…. There are other O class ships out there.

 

Tonight at 8:30 😻

I know, but had it reserved last August and it got cancelled.  Added on the 5 day on the front end.  If Cats is still around, it's no big deal.  Heard that the redone shorter version is better than the original.

If we like it, then we'll try newer versions out of FLA. (The ship, not Cats)

 

There is a lot about Oasis that is superior to Harmony and Allure. Try Symphony next

I like allure better because it doesnt have the abyss. It's in the way of my view from boardwalk. 

 

Loved oasis when it was new but havent done it since.

would be cool if we could take the best things we like from each cruise line and mash them all together to create "the best cruise line for me"

Dang, I really thought that was what Santa Claus was bringing me for Christmas!

Ive never understood some people's aversion to beautiful dancers in skin tight outfits!  Who cares about the plot or storyline 😇

So why should someone pay for "free" drinks, if they don't drink?  Or pay for any of the "free" things if they do not need them?

 

In all fairness,  there are plenty of free things on a Royal ship that I pay for & don't use. Flowrider, Rock Wall,  Adventure Ocean to name a few.

You probably fly SouthWest thinking that you really aren't paying for your luggage. 😄

 

 Everytime I've flown Southwest,  their fares were cheaper than the competing airlines  that charge $80 for 2 suitcases pp. 

 

So yes, luggage does fly free sometimes.

Thanks John.  How long is that world cruise?

I’m not John but the world cruise is 274 days

A mere 9 months. And intense ports. Almost a port a day. Great ports but I'd be exhausted. 

 

I'm pretty sure a lot of things like drinks are included. Just your style. Even the precruise hotel included. 10% off for early sign up.

And non-refundable $8000 deposit.  I booked a 52 day cruise on Celebrity Edge, opted to pay a bit higher fare for refundable deposit

100 sea days. Not counting the ones where we go through sounds, fijords, etc.

 

I think there is one stretch in Med with 19 ports in a row. But there is an overnight mixed in somewhere there.

So, if you don’t go, you are out 1200?  Seems fairly reasonable, although in the age of covid, I can’t quite imagine this cruise.

When I physically count the days on a calendar, it adds up to 275. 

 

2024 is leap year, maybe that's the issue

[xpcdoojk]

I take it that Cats is over?  I was watching the blues and it was 3 to 3… getting ready to go to bed

[xpcdoojk]

The date line always effs with cruise days.

Up until the Jan 2023 early payment deadline

 

Rest of insurance kicks in before that. Somewhere around 12 grand more from what I can tell

We go west, so we lose a day, I think. Maybe that's how you go from 275 to 274

The crowd seemed to enjoy the show

The Celebrity B2B2B2B is sold as 4 individual legs, our deposit was $900 for each, I thought that was fair.

Well, the world cruise is 5 times longer 😉

 

$3600 x 5 = $18,000

 

So, about the same total

Are you booked on that cruise?  Sorry if I missed it in an earlier response.

Yes, but the two most important things are probably not included.  Excursions and laundry.
