Baked Alaska

Good morning from Roatan, Oasis of the Seas! My men are fly fishing for Permit and Bonefish today. DS tied his own for this trip. Not the height of the season, but hey, we are in Roatan and not in the cold Ozarks today! I'm looking forward to attending the Pheonix rock concert at the Aqua Theater tonight! Hopefully, they'll do some Led Zeppelin!

Thank you for confirming this. I thought it was me and I just couldnt find the switch. The announcements come into the room speakers and on the television on DCL. Not enough to make me want to go back to them.

Good morning from Nachi Cocum in Cozumel. BeUtiful, 83 degrees. Our Aqua 80s and Cats shows on Oasis have been canceled. I'm fine with that. Not a Cats fan and there will be other opportunities for Aqua 80s (HELLO DEC 2022 WONDER RCG GROUP CRUISE!)

You, me, and Shane are all friends on Facebook. You came up as a common friend in messaging: "Oh, I know Matt." In your best Mary Katherine Gallagher: SUPAH STAR!

Currently on Oasis. Staying flexible! We were looking forward to Aqua 80s. Darn the luck, we'll just need to book another cruise on Oasis. LOVE THIS SHIP! Shane our Genie, our Suites Sun Deck bartender Dana, Yethiwe in the spa, ALL are so wonderful, staying positive and friendly THIS IS WHY WE CRUISE!

Make sure you are comparing NRD with NRD, for example.

Hey @WAAAYTOOO!Yes, we got an email from Shane. He didn't include The Questionnaire. I'm hoping that the rezis I made with Edwin and Ricardo transfer to Shane.

I'm on tomorrow and can't wait!! I just may have a tear in my eye.

Oh nerts! Yes! Star Loft! (Too much screwball today!)

Oh thank you!! It has been a rollercoaster of emotions for sure. You and I seem to parallel each other in all things cruise, so living vicariously through you on your Odyssey sailing. Your "lemonade out of lemons" positive attitude, grounded in reality, has truly encouraged and inspired me. You are a great ambassador for cruising! Thank you and enjoy your time!

Hey @WAAAYTOOO! We sail this Sunday, Oasis 7 nt Western. So, yep that is probably why we haven't heard from our Genie. We started in a Crown Loft and ended in a Royal Loft. Now, I've got to go back and read you blog posts. I don't even know what to expect. We're pretty self sufficient. . . But we can change! LOL! Do you have any last minute advice?

Hello. We won our Royal Up to Star Class. I didn't come close to making the maximum bid, so feeling pretty good. We had already been in contact with Ricardo and Edwin, our concierges for Sky Class. Now that we are Star Class, will we be receiving any info from our Genie, or will that take place once we board?

Son just signed up for his proctored at home test. His wait time is given at 50 minutes. Bottom line, don't wait until later in the day. Hope everyone on these boards gets their negative tests and is sailing soon. Merry Christmas!

Finally started @ 28 minutes. Glad I didn't wait until this afternoon.

I started with a 15 hold waiting to connect to a certified guide. That went down to zero minutes. . . 15 minutes ago. Still waiting to take the test.

Did anyone other crew member take this on? First world problem, but that person is necessary!

For those who have now cruised, did you have to place separate calls for each person in your party for the at-home proctored test? Is it possible to have two tests going simultaneously with the same proctor? I'm wondering what the best logistics approach would be. Thanks!

@WAAAYTOOODoesn't you DH enjoy the lamb somewhere? Is it CK? Or?

3 days. Crown loft to Star loft. Did not bid maximum. Not even close.

Still considering going on Oasis on Sunday for our Western Caribbean sailing. Can anyone suggest a website where I can check the status of cruise port closures for Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Roatan? I suspect if one closes they will all close. I figured it would be news, but haven't seen anything. Just wondering.

We don't have a problem with masks. It is the closing down of shows and other venues on ship that is the deal breaker for us. Add to that reduced or no port stops and a 7 night cruise to no where with reduced amenenties on board is what has me concerned. Ugh. I'm looking at my packed suitcase and in tears. So frustrated.

@NeesaGiven everything you've reported already, would you have canceled or would you still have gone on THIS cruise? We are scheduled for a Crown Loft next week, but I'm considering kicking the can down the road a bit.

Sell it as a pass in the Cruise Planner. Joking. Really. Really?

Good! I'm talking UDP not DBP!

We are boarding Oasis on the 26th. I am getting my thoughts together on our UDP. I'm planning on having the filet at Geovanni's table (better than Chops IMHO). What about the roasted rack of lamb at Chops. Yes or no? I don't eat veal. 150CP?
