So far I only have 2 booked lol Odyssey Nov 5th 2020 Oasis Feb 14th 2021

Thanks so much for the link to this thread (through facebook).

Did I mention we won it?! LOL Maybe that helped liking it so much ? We are already looking to do it in Cozumel on our next cruise!

We (my husband, myself and daughters age 14 & 24) just did an excursion on St. Maarten called "the race". It is just like the TV show "Amazing Race". We had a blast. There were other kids your kids' age participating as well. Wear tennis shoes as you race around the streets and interact with the locals (that was the best part) figuring out clues and such. Takes about 3 hrs.

Jan 13th - Oasis of the Seas 1st cruise. 1st star class

THANK YOU!!! After thinking longer....you nailed our thoughts exactly!!! Especially seeing the first booking of this cruise started out in a JS and within a week we were into the deck 8 ATS ? AND, as a family we have recently lost 175 lbs total and don't mind the walking....at...all!!!! ? We are cruise ready!!

Just received our offer today for Jan 13, 2019 Oasis cruise. We currently are in the deck 8 ATS. The bids start at $400pp for Star Loft, $700pp for Panoramic, and $1200pp for the Royal Loft. While the Royal Loft is VERY tempting, I'm sure the $1200pp ($2400 total) bid will not take it, as it can go up to $4700pp. My husband says "lets stick to the ATS for our 1st cruise", I say "YOLO, BOOK IT". (we are not asking the daughters at ages 14 & 24 for their opinion lol) Bank account says "?"

I wasn't going to mention any names ? HAHA!!!

I booked the OASIS for next January through the RCCL website. I started out with a JS and then the sales started happening along with price drops and within 1 week we had upgraded to an Aquatheater deck 9. THEN I started reading this fantastic blog and learned of MEI. I went to their website and just clicked on a random box to get a quote of the same cruise with the same room. Long story short....after receiving an email and phone call from Melissa at MEI, we were able to transfer our booking to them and upgrade once again to the Spacious Aquatheater suite on deck 8 (which did not show available on the RCCL booking site) for just the 4 of us!! AND it wasn't much of an increase due to buying the travel insurance through MEI instead of RCCL. Thanks to this blog, we are in a room we could've never imagined!!

Completed!

Hi Everyone, My name is Gail and I am from Michigan. My husband, myself and our 2 daughters (age 23 and 13) will be going on our first (my husband and I cruised on our honeymoon) family cruise in January 2019 on the OASIS of the SEAS! We have booked the spacious aquatheater 2 bedroom suite ? "YOLO book it" LOL My oldest daughter just completed her Masters program and is planning on getting married in 2020. My youngest daughter is starting high school in September. She has had terrible asthma and allergies all her life and we have never been able to vacation due to it. We think (and pray) that she is outgrowing them and they are now manageable...YAY! So this is our first family week long vacation EVER!! We are SO excited and LOVE these boards and all the information they have available. Looking forward to following these boards from now til.............I think I'm already hooked!! LOL

242 days for me before we board the OASIS . Can't wait even more now!

I booked our first cruise ever by myself about a month ago, online through the RCCL website.. I called RCCL and changed my room a few times (after research and learning more about the rooms) and there were price drops that I called for as well.. I ended up with a 2BR Aquatheater suite on the Oasis on deck 9 (pretty good huh?!) THEN, I came across this gem of a site and learned about MEI. So I changed my booking to them. After my first initial email I was offered the same room on deck 8 which we know is quite larger in size in room and balcony. This room on deck 8 was not available online. I am so glad I switched to MEI and was able to snag that room!

My daughter was reading a chapter for social studies and she came across the words "Freedom of the sea" back when Wilson was president and trying to make peace treaties. We paused for a moment and said "Ahhhh we can't wait til January" ?

I hope so!

I'll let you know January 20th, 2019

Love reading this thread! We have the Spacious ATS 2 bedroom in January of 2019 on the OASIS. We are SO excited to be able to experience the Star Class, as we are first time cruisers and before 2 weeks ago, we never even knew this was such a thing! This is our first family vacation (ever). My youngest daughter has had terrible allergies/asthma growing up and that prevented us from staying anywhere but home. She is now going on 14 and seems to be ~fingers crossed~ outgrowing them. This is a game changer for us and we are just SO excited to even have a thought of going on a cruise but also to be going Star Class.....OMG!!! (Insert scream of excitement!)

Oh thank you for the feedback!!

We diffuse oils with a cool mist diffuser for my daughter at night for her allergies/asthma. The diffuser does not produce heat, its not an incense, its more like a little humidifier that you add maybe 3/4 cup of cold water and oils to, but small enough to hold in your hands (but it does plug in). Has anyone brought one of these on the ship or had any problems bringing these aboard? Also, I have read the prohibited items and I see this doesn't fall under them but I was just wondering if anyone had experience with this.

271 days til my Oasis cruise. Finally see someone with a countdown as far as mine lol

Ohhh up front in a comedy club is risky! HAHA No comedy club plans, no bar plans, just plain family time fun for us!

I have not. I will do that! Thanks!

Ohhh no no no...we will not be going to the adult comedy shows with either of our girls! :) I really did not want my youngest to go into anything not her age except the hot tub that extends over the side. And my oldest probably would prefer not to go into the tweens are lol. I was just hoping there is enough for them to do together. Thanks for the info!!!!

Thanks for the info! Also we are in a Star class suite so I didn't know if that makes a difference in activities as well.

My daughters are 24 and 14. We will be on the Oasis soon. They will want to do everything together as they are really close. The 14 yr old is very mature and by looking at them you would never guess them to be 10 yrs apart. In fact the 14 yr old is a bit taller than the 24 yr old and also the 24 yr old is still a kid at heart. I'm afraid the 14 yr old wont be allowed to do whatever things the 24 yr can do and the 24 yr old wont be allowed to do whatever things the 14 yr old can do. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Also wondering if the 14 yr old would be allowed into the solarium with all of us (sister, mom and dad) without problems (as she is looking forward to the hot tub overlooking the ocean). Thanks in advance for any suggestions as well.
