Labadee was super relaxing as always.  Last night was dinner was in Giovannis, and Star Class Food Coma is starting to set it.  It was tough to get through all of the food.  We had another "well-done" steak sighting with my MIL.  Can't take them anywhere.  
The carpaccio and the mozzarella di buffalo tasted quite good.  Dinner tonight took almost 2 hours, so there was a lot of waiting in between courses.  I also really wanted lemon sorbet, and they didn't have any.  

 


 

 
After dinner we went back up to Adventure Ocean to get Virginia and head to the Ice Show.  Smitha met us with our seats, drinks, and popcorn.  We were sitting in the first row on the side, which was uncomfortably close, but was with a purpose.  Smitha brought Virginia a tiara, and for those that have not seen the Frozen in Time show before, it's the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tales on ice.  During "The Ugly Duckling", Virginia was one of the girls in the swan on the ice, and she absolutely loved it.  She kept saying she was so nervous, but she did great.  Genie moment made!

 
Today is Falmouth, so we will probably just walk around in port for a bit then come back on the ship and hit the pool.  Tonight, dinner is in Portside BBQ so I can't wait.  

Back to DEFCON 1. Red alert avoided. Pretzels have been found in the windjammer.

150CP was delicious for dinner. I forgot to get pictures, but it was very good. I had the scallops and halibut. Abby had the pork belly and duck. MIL had pumpkin bisque and lobster thermidor. FIL had bisque and beef tenderloin (medium well, the savage!). Dessert was the fried cheesecake. 
 
I miss the salts, but the garlic butter bread is amazing!  
 
After dinner was One Sky. Smitha met us there and took us to our reserved seats. The show was ok. It was interesting to see what set pieces they reused from Come Fly With Me. The singing wasn’t great, but the acrobatics and dancing were quite good. 
 
We were really confused by the towel animals left for us. Pretty sure one is a rabbit and have no idea about the other. 
 
tomorrow we have a cabana in Labadee. B2, our favorite. It will be interesting to see how the buffet differs from July in Anthem as I know the Anthem CK manager took pride in making it more upscale. 

Having not edited any of these photos, here we go.  
Dinner was in Izumi on the Sushi side.  There was only one other couple in the entire Sushi side.  Both hibachi tables were full.  Easy to tell that few people know about specialty dining on the first night.  
Smitha came by while we were at dinner and asked what we wanted for snacks to eat during the Aqua80s show.  We finished dinner early and made it back to the room to watch the 8:30 show.  When we came in off of the balcony we had our snacks of chips and nachos, plus more chocolate covered strawberries (up to 12 so far), and our drinks.  Even though we asked for hard liquor, Smitha had our drinks delivered for the show.  One let down was not getting soft pretzels.  Shane, our genie on Anthem, had them pulled from the pub.  We asked Smitha for them since Virginia is a huge fan, and she wasn't able to get any to our room.  We'd even asked about them pre-cruise, so that was kind of a bummer.  As soon as Virginia came back to the room from Adventure Ocean, she was immediately asking for soft pretzels, so it's a big time bummer around here on that front.  
The 8:30 show was very good.  They took a couple of elements out due to the wind.  Oasis is a ship that you can rarely feel any movement.  Not sure if it's because we are all the way aft, but the seas are definitely rocking tonight.  It's cold and windy on the balcony, and the ship is moving enough to rattle the hangers in the closet, which is quite a bit for Oasis.  
Random thoughts from the day:
AO check-in is super easy now, and Virginia loved the new set-up.
Izumi was fantastic, as usual.  
While we love the room, it is disappointing they didn't update the SC rooms during the dry dock.  After having been in SC on Anthem, Oasis just feels dated in styling.  Also, we loved the loft for the large amount of space it gave us, and miss having the two stories, but the private bedrooms and a true "living room" are really nice.  
The Aqua Theater show is amazing.  Having not seen Aqua80s before, it is a big upgrade from Oasis of Dreams.  Also, watching from our balcony gives you a completely different perspective of the talent and "guts" required to do some of the things they do.  Also known as a "big box of NOPE" from me on some of these things.  
I will say the noise is a little loud in the living room, but in the bedrooms it isn't too bad.
I did a room tour, but the file is too big to upload.  Perhaps I'll upload it on dry land.

Noted about the sink. ?
And Allan is definitely there cause someone has him this week. ?

We've only seen Smith, Izzy, and Joyce.  Allan may be here somewhere.  I thought Smitha said she had 4 other families, unless I misheard her.  She's been great personality-wise.  On par with Shane in that regard.  Shane was just "there" when we were on Anthem.  Some of that could be having all of the GC activities and a lot easier to know where we were.  It could also be that there are just a lot more "zones" we could be at on Oasis.  It's been a good Genie experience, but just seems a little more like the standard experience.  Lots of food, and just having our schedule organized.  Nothing bad, just a different experience.  
Virginia loves the room.  She loves having her private space and she loves watching the divers. 
Also, be careful with the master bathroom sink.  The water pressure is very high.

Yikes.  Imagine having to go from an ATS to deck 17 to deck 14 forward.  Hopefully they allocate them to minimize 1,000,000 steps per day.
