avw3 Posted October 3, 2022 #202 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Thank you for the very detailed account of your cruise! It really is helping us plan our cruise on Symphony later this month. Well done and safe travels back home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvcruzing Posted October 3, 2022 #203 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Thanks, Benny. Another fine job. I hope to cruise on Symphony one day, hopefully sooner rather than later. Those shows look fabulous. “See” you on the next one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided to pack for two weeks and then come back home on turnaround day to do laundry and repack and then head back to the port to board for the third week…. What am I going to miss? The opportunity to book Cats 🐱 🐈⬛ 🐈 ? I will find another ice cold place to nap 😴 😆 😝 on Oasis if it’s full! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember if there is a show that you want to see .. like Hiro and it gets postponed to later in the cruise … go standby on the early shows in case it gets canceled all together later on due to ship movements!

They will roll me off the ship when I am done at the end of this 3 week cruise 🚢… which is not such a great idea as I fly out to Italy two days after I get home from Oasis to get on the NCL GEM… next year my cruises will be more spaced out 😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JamesEM Posted October 5, 2022 #209 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Good job on the review, I was on the ship for 3 weeks, best Windjammer of all ships I have been on, hit the Diamond Lounge at 5 pm, plenty of eats, also the Mexican buffet was great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FionaMG Posted October 5, 2022 #210 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Thanks for sharing. 😊 I just caught up with you after getting off Anthem this morning. I will need to get my cruise fix through the blogs now until our next one (not till April next year 😕). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I grow up I want to be like you, hahaha. Just wished we could do this more often too. But for now, we love following peoples blogs. Are you going to do a live review on Oasis too?? Thanks!!

Rare JamesEM Posted October 6, 2022 #213 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I was on the Symphony for the Sept.10th, 17th, and 24th cruises. Kept looking for someone with a camera in the Diamond Lounge, our paths never crossed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be our first cruise as a Diamond and we are trying to figure out if we really need the Refreshment packages that we purchased. Would you please be able to answer a few questions for us? What were the hours of the Diamond Lounge when you were there? Did they have cappuccino and lattes available during those hours? Do they have bottles of water available during those hours? Do they also have things like fresh orange juice, soda, ice tea, and other beverages that we can grab and go? Also, do they have a computer available for use to check in for our return flights home? Thank you in advance. 🙂 Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took one week to change the battery on the one with the water… I gave up. I scored a zero for the fitness center on the survey and it looks like another zero this week! DISLIKE! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am behind in reading your posts. Life is very busy here in PA. 🙂 3 cruises in 1 year for me is a record.

Thank you in advance. 🙂 Andy The Lounge is open all the time with key card access. the light snack is served between 5-8pm and light breakfast is served in the morning but not sure the hours. the coffee machine is available in the morning not sure the time it starts but ends at 9pm. You press a button and out comes espresso, cappuccino latte nothing fancy. Bottled water will count against your Diamond coupon and only available during snack hours and you order is from a server. the only beverage you have access to yourself beside the coffee machine is water in a pitcher/tea bags. Diamond Lounge is not a good substitute for refreshment package if you want everything that’s included in the beverage and will need more than what your Diamond coupon provides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BennyBrun Posted October 9, 2022 Author #220 Share Posted October 9, 2022 It seems like yesterday that I was on the ship .. but here we go again…. Virtual cruise boarding announcement for the Oasis! Get ready it’s a looooooong one .. 3 weeks of Oasis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avw3 Posted October 9, 2022 #221 Share Posted October 9, 2022 BennyBrun - thank you for the detailed information on the Diamond Lounge! We will keep our refreshment packages based on your comments. Also, with Symphony's Diamond lounge being on deck 4 and our cabins on deck 9, it would be a lot of travel going back and forth. We'll pop in for afternoon snacks for sure and probably a breakfast bite or two during the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JamesEM Posted October 10, 2022 #222 Share Posted October 10, 2022 BennyBrun, I stopped by the Diamond Lounge for eats around 5 each night and departed each evening around 5:30, JJ kept calling me James Bond.

skyhawk352 Posted October 11, 2022 #223 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Do you happen to recall if the ‘walk-off’ line to disembark was at 6:45am? Trying to time a flight home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
