Floating Fun

I need some help on which pier Ovation of the Seas sails out of on June 17th to Alaska. I thought I read Pier 91, but I see a UTube video that’s shows Pier 66. Thanks in advance!

Thanks very much! Can you reserve on line using the TV or did you use the app?

The option to reserve shows is not available for a June 17th sailing. Has anyone had recent experiences with reserving entertainment on this ship?

Great idea! Thanks.

Thanks very much! Some of the quotes are crazy! I just got one for over $200!

We’re staying at Hotel Andre and was able to book transportation from hotel to port. The price is not as much as other post for four people, but I’m sure the distances are different. Does anyone have insight from getting to the hotel downtown from airport? My daughter was recently there and said the light rail at night is a little uncomfortable. COVID a seems to have Seattle hard and the downtown isn’t what it once was a few years ago. I’m not sure. Lyft can accommodate 4 people with luggage. Any ideas would be welcomed. Btw, we too are on the June 17th sailing!

Thanks for the info. I’m Looking forward to a relaxing time enjoying the scenery. Is the attire more casual? Do people bring evening gowns of will nice dress slacks work for formal nights. After hiking all day, I may not be up for that much formal at night!

I’ve been on several Caribbean cruises and am sailing to Alaska for the first time. What’s the vibe on a Alaska cruise compared to the Caribbean? It’s seems the Caribbean is one non-stop party. Not sure what to expect in Alaska in June. Can someone please share their opinions/observations?

Thanks very much for the information!

Can we order RCCL tests now for a cruise in June. We’re going to Seattle for a couple days before our cruise and wondering. Do you need to make an “appointment” for the proctored tests? Is it hard to get through?

Thanks for the info! Can I reserve before I leave?

Sailing this June and wondering if entertainment needs to reserved like the Oasis class? I don’t seem to find anything on the topic.

We are thinking about an Alaska cruise and are interested in thoughts about the Ovation vs the Rhapsody. Which ship has more outdoor viewing areas? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!

Is the Wacky Seagull still open?

Just asking if anyone has gotten ill after eating on Coco Cay? We left on a Sunday, were on Coco Cay Monday and Tuesday morning got ill. (No, it was not self induced) and lasted 3 days. Just trying to figure out what happened. We’ve been on numerous cruises and never had an issue, so we do consider ourselves fortunate. We always wash our hands...

My husband I are going to Coco Cay for the first time in years and are excited for the “Perfect Day”. Which beach has the most shade? It’s just the two of us so a Cabana is out of the budget. We’re looking for a couple of chairs in the shade to watch the world go by!

Can you walk to Arawak Cay from the dock? Is it safe? The Oasis is in port from 8 to 3. We’re looking for an authentic local restaurant to have lunch.

We love the Oasis, but miss deck 4 on Freedom to sit in shade and watch the ocean. Does any such place exist on the Oasis? Solarium is great, but no ocean view.

I am booked on the Oasis I April 56 days out and still no entertainment showing up to book other than those that charge a fee. This is odd. Usually we book on this ship 60 days out. Anyone know if the timings have changed?

I read the drink package prices are increasing. Does anyone know if they are going to raise the maximum $12 for wine covered in the package? My husband and I love Vintanges, but it’s very difficult to find a good glass of wine for $12. For example, Spy Valley Pinot used to be in the package pricing, now I think it’s $15ish a glass, In fact, there were no Pinot Noirs that were included in the package. RCCL may be on the brink of pricing themselves out of the market for some folks.

Has anyone taken this excursion? Is transportation included? We are on the Oasis and it appears will be docking at Crown Bay not the dock downtown. The RCCL price is listed at $21 which is less expensive than doing it on your own.

I’m looking for feedback on this excursion as well. Is it a cash bar?

Has anyone been to St. John’s recently? We have a stop in September and wondered how much has been rebuilt since Irma? What about St. Maarten? Thanks! p

Thanks very much! We’re looking forward to trying the package!

Which restaurants are included in Ultimate Dining package on Oasis? List, please.
