We'll be cruising on Oasis in May and I was hoping there would be a different show. I would prefer not to see Cats, but my kids might like it, so I'm going to suck it up and see it with them.

There are some jobs you can do as a teacher and be a digital nomad, but you most likely will need a really good internet connection. I worked part-time for VIPKID teaching English to kids, but then needed to make more $. It was super-convenient, though.

I'm trying to apply a Future Cruise Credit and am having the same issue with the dropdown menu for ship type.

Thanks for the response. That's disappointing.

Does anyone know if they still offer drink cards (used to be 10 drinks for $80) on the fourth or fifth night of a seven-night cruise? We have our kids with us, so unless the drink packages are discounted further, it's not worth it for us to buy the drink package.

We went on the Anthem in May (loved the ship) and have the same booking as you next May. I can't wait! Did you join the Facebook group for the May 10th sailing?

Does anyone know how to add a child's Crown and Anchor number to my existing reservation without having to call? If so, can you tell me how to do it or provide a link? TIA!

Thanks for the responses. After looking at the menu, I will definitely be booking a couple of nights there for dinner for the four of us.

I see on my cruise planner that I can make dinner reservations at no extra cost for the Solarium Bistro. How is the food there? Can I bring my kids there for meals?

Out of curiosity, how did you get $16.36?

Yes, I am Gold status and received the email. Maybe have them check their spam folder, in case it went there.

I was actually thinking about that as well. Since RC is honoring it, I am definitely going to make sure the bartenders get some compensation.

I just got my email as well. I am in shock!

I don't know how accurate this is. They have had so many weird deals lately that when I saw the $18/day drinks package, I ran to my computer, thinking it was some sort of flash sale or lightning deal. On Oasis of the Seas last week, a balcony room for my 2020 sailing was several hundred dollars less than an ocean view room, and the "pick your own room" was less expensive than the "we pick your room". I figured this was just another one of those deals that didn't totally make sense, but rolled with it, since I had already called and gotten better deals on our room than when we initially booked.

I think part of the reason so many are irate is because RC was aware of the issue and left the "deal" up for HOURS afterward. If it truly was a glitch they should have turned off the ability to purchase beverage packages once they were aware of it.

It's still showing as 18/day here.

I guess the point is moot now, if they honor the $18/day deluxe drinks package!

Thanks for posting! I loved the Music Hall on Anthem and am so happy that there will be one on Oasis- right near our cabin!

Thanks. You'd think they would be happy for you to spend more money paying the difference to upgrade to a different package.

...

Thanks!

Thanks. I tried doing a search on the message board to see if anyone had experiences with it, but I couldn't find anything. I guess I need to use other search terms.

We have two free refreshment packages for our next cruise. We don't drink soda or sports drinks, my husband has juice once a day, I'm fine with the regular coffee they serve, and I don't mind the filtered water. Considering the refreshment package costs $28/day right now, I would love to trade it for a reduced price of the drink package, as we would get much more use out of it. Has anyone here received something included in their booking that they knew they wouldn't use, and were able to trade it for something else?

I used the confirmation email they sent and kept checking on it.

It's totally driving me crazy. Less than 24 hours before the ship sails and it still says "pending". I am just going to assume that we didn't get any upgrades and call it a day.
