Oasis of the Seas Live - We’ve been Saved by the Bell 🐾🐾 March 12-19, 2023. ​​​​​​​

[Lionesss]

Good afternoon. 
 

The minute the opened the doors we were early birds and easily walked off the ship. 
 

We went to the pool beach. Got a chair in prime real estate. 
Consumed one frozen ( melted) strawberry daiquiri. 

We were told we could use any devices signed up for because island has capabilities. 
 

Food was typical picnic food. 
 

I had a steak hoagie. Had some unknown spice in it. Took one bite. That was enough. Ended up with a grilled Cuban sandwich. 
 

Cucumber and tomato salad. 
Water and Diet Coke. 

 

Got very HOT, left to come back to ship at noon. 
 

See many individual groups of teens. Riding elevators. Camping out at Sorrentos, no real problems. Easy to ignore. 
 

If I can live thru the 15 y/p curse. Quincinterra ) sp). I can survive these youngsters. 
 

Tonight comedy club. 
 

still having some issues posting pictures. 
 

13:43

I was at The Players golf tournament all day and fell way behind here.  Seems like for every 2 pages I read, another page of posts appeared.  You guys are off to a great start. Cheers!

Glad they didn’t wind up finishing this morning in the rain!

The weekend  turned out great.

Our balcony. Actually standing on Laura's side.

 

 

Ken got us both these cabins last Dec. and again this August...loved the balcony.

 

We left a small note for ourselves under the felt in the safe(12629), is it still there?

Since @Lionesss is having way too much fun, I'll answer for her. It's not the Hampton Inn Brickell, It's the Hampton Inn Mid Beach. Now breathe. 😉

The nice thing about Coco Cay, is that they have a little bit bigger shot glasses. 😏 😂. Enjoy

We heard there’s some sort of band camp group this sailing. I’ve heard all about the band camp from the American pie movie. Watch out for the flute girl. 
 

Now, if it’s the Italian youth club, they’ll be pretty sad hanging out at Sorrento’s.

Download seems to be consistent 

 

 

Royal needs to work on the upload speeds. Here is my report from Oasis in December and Harmony in February. 
 

 

12/11 - 12/14 is Oasis. That wasn’t bad but could be better. 
 

2/20 - 2/22 was Harmony last month. It was horrible. Ignore the one with the 12.7 upload. That was the free Wi-Fi at Mambo Beach which was also Starlink. Royal has some work to do.

Whistle Pig Rye. Haven’t seen it on board. Had it here though.

 

Cheers!

 

 

Check the Trellis Bar for Whistle Pig.  I thought I saw it there but can't remember if that was Oasis in Dec. or Harmony last month.

Beautiful day on Coco Cay, we are here with Explorer, sounds like they have more college spring breakers onboard.  Lagoon pool was full of them.  We found a good spot on south beach and relaxed.  Stopped by the pool on the way back to the ship, the buffet and Captain Jack's for a little music.  A few drinks may have been consumed along the way.  

 

A few pics, didn't take too many.

 

Welcome to Coco Cay

 

 

South beach floating bar and new table, made it out there for a drink.

 

 

Heading back

OOOO!!  Gonna have to sneak in one of those when DW isn't looking. 🤫She's restricting me to mocktails and 1/2 glass of wine at dinner, maybe.  As long as my gout doesn't flair up I should be ok.

No beer though.☹️

[akcruz]

Oh and forgot this little guy who was begging at the buffet

I’m 2 for 2.  The week we cruised with our friends on NCL at the end of January was that awful cold spell in RI.  

I remember as you and I were both cruising that week.

Those slides really ruin the look of the ship. Completely loses the sleek lines of the ship when taking a photo of the ship from the side. Silly looking as high as it is.

 

Bit it's cool when your on it

 I rediscovered a drink I had not had in many years when we were on Harmony last month. 

Order a "sidecar" .. they are delicious. 

 

I still believe the zacapa or rum old fashioned belongs on the list too. 

 

 

 

Rum Old Fashioned is on there. Very tasty in Schooner Bar

We were in 11629 for a couple weeks last year, and the crew access area next door, was very noisy starting around 5 am. 
 

Have you noticed much noise in your cabin?

 

Yes, but didn't start until after breakfast. Generally no noise at night

That date is perfect for us as long as we stay healthy😀 I just booked Harmony for April 2024 Western out of Galveston. 

 

 

I gotta keep Bella healthy, and I need to survive the UWC

I love that combo for cooking.   A sous vide overnight cooking  of a Boston Butt turns out perfect. Great for moist tender pork chops too.

 

Some folks just don't get it.😉

How's this working out for you, @John&LaLa? Question: Does it have to stay connected to your device to maintain its use as a router/hotspot?  I got one for our Grandeur sailing in 11 days and wonder if it's above my pay grade. 

 

Haven't tried it yet

And I guess Woo-woos are still a thing. Agreed, much better as a shot and not a sipping drink.

 

It was way to sweet

Music Hall, AKA Diamond Lounge.

 

Not sure the activities staff got the memo that MH is DL from 5-8 as they have schedule overlap.

 

It actually works well for the Diamond and up as the concierge won't let crowds in until 8pm

 

So the venue is relatively empty at that time, no need to stake out seats. Tonight is Bon Jovi cover band at 8pm, should be a minor riot outside the locked doors. We'll be inside😁

 

FWIW, the schedule is conflicting, they might not be performing till 10:30. Who knows

Oh nice, you guys get Slippery When Wet, they are one of the best Bon Jovi cover bands.  In fact, in summer of 2019 when Jon Bon Jovi himself did a cruise for fans (out of Barcelona), he brought them along.  Total blast.

@John&LaLa

John - someone mentioned the parking garage for Oasis was full yesterday.  Did you have any trouble getting in?  What time did you get there?  We’re debating drive or fly for our next Oasis cruise.
