Same here, February Wonder shows aren’t available. I saw another post somewhere else about it, looks like no February shows are opened up yet. Normally they would be, so should be any day now. 

I would have circled that deck and gone through the same hallway repeatedly. Gotta get those steps in somehow, so why not have fun messing with an entitled individual.

This will be our 2nd cruise on Oasis - the first being 7 days earlier as we are doing B2B 😉
Really looking forward to it. Been on Grandeur, Explorer and Ovation before so first time on Oasis class. 
Not long now!

We'll be there! First time on RC.

If I really want a chair that’s obviously been ‘hogged’, I take my inspiration from a scene in The Godfather…”Leave the towel, take the chair”.
I’ll move the chair and leave the towel on the floor where the chair was (as long as it’s not a tripping hazard). When the hog eventually comes back to claim ‘their’ chair…there’s no one for them to argue with.
Other annoyances…people who stop and have meetings in choke points, especially as crowds are attempting to move along. Like after the show is over, or in elevator vestibules, or venue doorways, or the Windjammer, or the pool deck, or the casino floor, etc.
People who not only stop to talk in the middle of walkways…but those who also have the habit of ‘spreading their wings’. That’s when they put their hands on their waist and their elbows stick out, doubling their size!
People who come late to the show and slowly walk down the aisle and stop…scanning the crowd for a seat they deem acceptable…blocking the view while chattering back and forth. I really love when the entertainer, especially the comedians, shame them…”Can I get you anything? How about a watch?” or “I don’t come into your cabin at night and interrupt your performance!”
Those that have no conception of elevator etiquette.
But, these are just little annoyances when weighed against being on a cruise.
Happy sailing!😎

Ooh, good word

I never knew there were so many sesquipedalian types on here.............

@PPPJJ-GCVAB I forgot it minutes after I posted it!! Apart from place names in Wales, I tend to avoid long words! 

Ok @Bazza I totally had to look up that word!  And once I did it occurred to me that I actually know a few people who fit perfectly into that category!  Unfortunately, I’m not one of them…lol🤣

No doubt.  It trips right off the tongue !

Do you pay double gratuity as a solo cruiser?
Be careful what you wish for...
 

Step 1: book double occupancy rooms as BigKarl/BigKarli
Step 2: go through security, do a u-turn and go through security again with a wig as Karli
Step 3: rinse/repeat for 80 cruise points
Step 4: collect your drink vouchers

i like to hit ‘em with the double whammy:
thalassophile + heliophile 💚

So my wife was talking with our neighbor yesterday, catching up on local gossip and letting her know that we would be heading out of town in January for another RC cruise (she is our unofficial neighborhood Mrs. Kravitz). My wife thought it best to give "Gladys" a heads up so that she didn't lose any sleep worrying or wondering if something terrible had happened to us, noticing the loss of daily routines that myself and family normally endure and display each day.
Knowing in advance the quick witted and somber responses that our neighborhood Karen is accustom to, her response really should not have surprised my wife. But she called us out like a closet Swiftie, stating "Well, aren't you a bunch of thalassophiles".
It's true, I am one.
It's been over 3 months since my last cruise and ocean sighting. But I have a wonderful support group and attend meetings via forums and discussions as often as I can. So thank you fellow board members. It's one cruise at a time .
