Awesome tip, thanks! It looks almost like it goes right over to a suite balcony...I never would have guessed. Yes...first time on Oasis class. Oldest daughter honeymooned on Oasis in 2017. I haven't managed to get on a cruise since 2001...hoping for several more! Probably won't ever make Pinnacle, though. ?

Ahhh...okay. Thanks!

Dining option just never came up in the process. I assumed it would be a selection later, like now. I haven't cruised in over 15 years, and a lot has changed! But every time I log into Royal Caribbean's website, I get a pop-up that says changes can only be made on reservations made through Royal Caribbean, but early check-in and activities can be made through the Cruise Planner. It certainly isn't intuitive or user friendly. And, evidently, things are not standardized on when things can be done. I'm hoping to take more and more cruises...and prefer to earn loyalty points with one cruise line...so I hope this gets easier in the future!

I am sailing on the Oasis, July 1, 2018. I thought reservations were open 90 days before the cruise? Paid activities are available, and have been for awhile, but I can't make show reservations and I'm 88 days out. Cruise Planner says I should try onboard, or I'm too far out from sailing. I hope I'm not missing something and shows sell out. Someone at RCCL told me they probably "had not been loaded yet" and I should keep checking back. Any insight would be appreciated. By the way, I reserved through Travelocity, and I was never asked about a dining preference. They evidently automatically assigned me to "My Time Dining", which I absolutely do NOT want...heard too many negative comments. And RCCL could change it...had to call Travelocity. And early seating was booked and has a wait list. I had to switch to late seating and get on wait list for early seating. If the wait list option doesn't work, I was advised to speak to the maitre'D on the first day and see if he can help. Fingers crossed, but might have to re-work my preferred schedule to accommodate late seating. In the future, I will book directly with RCCL and make sure I request my dining seating time up front.
