I woke up early, well early for me on vacation, at 7:30AM and quickly changed for the pool deck. I'm pleased to the sun finally came out!
I was so excited, but sad to see all the beach chairs were all taken again. I was thinking, what time to these people come out here? After seeing chairs with towels in them for an hour I asked the pool attendant to remove their belongings, which he did.
Moving into the early afternoon the pool deck was packed and everyone was having such a fun time.
Lunch at Johnny Rockets
For lunch today we all went to the boardwalk for some burgers and fries. The cover charge here is $5.95pp and everything is included.
I always get the smokehouse burger and lots of fries and onion rings. One of the waiters recognized me from the last time I was on board, so that's always fun catching up. Now I'm going to share one of my secrets about cruising with Royal, the apple pie desert at Johnny Rockets is the best you will find period. I discovered this many years ago, and always make sure I grab a piece or two.
Afternoon on board
After lunch I went back to the pool deck for a few more hours of sunshine.
The band had made an appearance playing the typical poolside Caribbean jams. I do like on the other class ships, the band is right beside the pool.
On Oasis class there are 4 large pools on the top deck and the band is in the middle of them. They have the H2O Zone for the children, the sports pool for pool games, the main pool, and the beach pool.
The beach pool is my favorite pool, because they have tables and umbrellas.
Evening - Formal Night
Tonight was our second formal night so we all got cleaned up for a perfect evening. It does not take me long to get ready, so I headed to the diamond lounge for the first time.
Since all my travel partners were not diamond I only went for one cocktail. They had some snacks out, but I passed on them trying saving room for lobster night.
My group all met up in Vintages for some wine and taps. They had free taps available tonight, with cheese and grapes. The decor in this venue is absolutely beautiful, and very intimate.
Dinner - Main Dining Room
I'm going to be honest I tried to talk my group out of the dining room tonight, but I'm glad they didn't listen. The service was absolutely outstanding, we asked them to speed the service up so we could make the 70s party.
My brother ordered the chops steak for $16.95 and we actually thought it was better than the other night in Chops. My lobster was so good my waiter brought me another without even asking.
It was nice to have some lobster again, because I sail on Enchantment a lot and they don't serve lobster on the weekend sailing.
Evening Actives
After dinner we rushed to the room to change clothes for the 70's Street Party on the Royal Promenade at 10PM.
There is a lot of singing and dancing, and it was a blast. The dancing lasted until 11:00. Then we explored the ships in and out of venues looking for live music. Well on the Oasis that’s not very hard to find since there are so many options. We explored the pub and Jazz on 4.
But the best entertainment of the evening goes to the comedy show at midnight. They had two lines once we arrived those who had reservations and those without, I don’t think anyone got in without RSVP so be sure to book ahead. The comedy show is very intimate show since only around 100 people are in there and you get the chance to interact with the comedians.
The jokes are very adult rated, so no kids here.
Shortly after the show we called it a night and rested up for our day in Cozumel tomorrow! Hope y’all are enjoying as much as I am sharing.
