Jolly Ogre

ours was the fixed glass with the curtain.

yeah that is what we had but with a shower curtain as well.

We got there about 10 in the morning. No problem getting a reservation at all. We ate about 1 PM...got rained on pretty good about 3 as we were heading in.

We were there this past December while on Oasis and you could only make reservations at the Beach club. You had to get there early and do it in person.

We have sailed on Symphony and Oasis in a JS and there was the full tub with a 1/2 fixed glass wall with a shower curtain that was full tub width.

+1 I used Danielle until she left and then Michelle took over and I have been more than satisfied with her since.

That sucked... We have been on Allure, Oasis and Symphony and have always went to the Solarium for breakfast vs the WJ... much quieter and relaxing and less children running around.

On any Oasis class ship you can get some breakfast at the Solarium Bistro.

The Cafe Promenade is open 24 hrs... coffee and some eats there.

But what if i want my steak 1st?

We got to our port in Dec early like 10:30 and were only Platinum then but in a JS. There was no line and we were escorted to check in and then straight to the suite lounge. There was about 35-40 others just hanging out waiting to board. They had drinks like coffee and water, cookies and brownies for us while we waited. Only had to sit there for about 20-30 min and then they started boarding and the line went very quick 10-15 min and we were on board. Very smooth and no anxiety at all.

What about if you want surf and turf on lobster night? Do you have to wait on the surf or the turf? Can you pick the order in which they are served?

Actually the name of the island is Lesser Stirrup Cay. Royal just renamed the property, but if you look at nautical charts you can find the correct name.

Yeah that is not cool that you can't select a room that way. Anyway next time get a travel agent. They don't cost anything extra and are very helpful.

Yes that is exactly what I said. There was no judgement at all. I have booked a GTY and picked my own cabin. You just need to be aware of what you are getting into when you do it that way.

Yeah ... its Awesome!!

Nice... but I bring my underwater camera to take photos. No phone at all!!

We got the paper Cruise Compass on our last sailing in Dec. I asked for it as well as ice and every night I had fresh ice and the next days compass. Our attendant was great as was all the others before him. I never use my phone while on the cruise. It gets turned off and locked in the safe.

Why did you book that room in the 1st place? If you did a GTY to get a cheaper rate, well then that is the risk you take.

Junior suites get the bathrobe regardless of C&A status. Platinum C&A status get them regardless of room category.

No worries... just keep checking the cruise planner as things fill up fast and that way you can get the times you want.

Yeah I got it too, however no savings for me for the things i have already booked.

I booked my time dinning on my Dec 2023 sailing in june 2022

We were on Oasis just a few months ago and really enjoyed Giovanni's. I would say skip Izumi if you are not doing the hibachi. I love Izumi's but it is for the show as well as the food. Going just for the sushi to me would not be that much of a value.

Yes !!.... We sailed on Oasis twice last year and loved Portside everytime. We did not have a dining pkg but the value there is so good you don't need to worry about it.
