We were on Oasis 12/19-12/26 and the only day there wasn't a line at Guest Services was day three. I got $100 out of the ATM onboard and it gave it in $50 bills, so that was a little inconvenient.

We were on Rhapsody a few years ago and there was a lady that spent the entire winter season (Nov.-April) onboard. It was cheaper for her to live on the ship and spend the rest of the year with her adult children than it was to live in a retirement community, so that's what she did... 6 months(ish) on board and then 6 months splitting time between her children's homes.

The table was outside the terminal down by where ride shares pick up when we got off Oasis on 12/26. I looked over as we were waiting on our Lyft driver, but didn't walk over to "peruse the goods" so to speak. I did see from where I was standing a full size iron and a fan on the table. DW, the porter, and I were all laughing at what people think they can bring onboard.

No, we are flying Southwest. That's just crazy that's she's a senior HS teacher, too.

Ummm, no, thanks! There is a reason I live in Houston. I'm giving my last final exams this morning. Bugging out around noon. We will test when I get home. Fingers crossed for negative tests considering I spent most of my time in a high school. We fly out in the morning as well.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! Got home yesterday and DW said she wanted to go over to Calle Ocho after we check in to get another ladies' guayabera. So, it looks like dinner will be Cuban in Little Havana.

Good idea! Thanks!

We are flying into Miami Saturday morning and are staying at the InterContinental. We are familiar with the area from a previous trip and know that Bayside is just a short walk the other side of the park. However, I would like to avoid tourist traps so to speak. What is your favorite dinner spot for your pre-cruise dinner when in Miami?

The boys decided they needed to help again tonight.

Ours, too, for the same reason. Yes! We use the guest bed to stage everything. I was working on packing yesterday and left the door open. Went in after dinner to put the carryon in there and both boys (one black & one tuxedo) were on the bed. That door is normally closed to them, so anytime it is open they want in there.

We are Sky class & have UDP, so I responded as soon as I saw the email. Just got my response from Ricardo and Edwin with all the locations and times I requested. Still have my fingers crossed my Royal Up bid will be accepted, but I doubt it will happen.

Holy cow, small world! See you on board!

My first thought when I read your reply was, "Do I know you???" My first name is Kelli and I will be on this sailing. We are in a GS-1, so we might run into each other in CK night one.

Yes, especially considering some sailings in the past had it at $160 pp.

We sail on Oasis on 12/19. I saved $60 on Coco Beach Club Full Day Pass. Originally bought 2 @ $78 and cancelled/re-purchased 2 @ $48. However, I got the DBP cheaper a few weeks ago than the sale last week.

We sail on Oasis on 12/19 & we received our itinerary change notification email in October. Originally scheduled for San Juan, Puerto Plata, St. Thomas, and Labadee. Now we are going to Coco Cay, St. Thomas, & St. Maarten with an additional sea day added. They also pushed sail away from 4 to 6 which is the reason we can't get to San Juan in time.

We love Liberty! We are only about 45 mins from Galveston, so we've sailed on her twice. I will echo what others have said about the drink package. We probably break even because we always get bottled water with our drinks and we get lattes from Cafe Latitudes every morning on board plus a few or several beverages throughout the day/evening. We usually end up at the same bar each night. The first time we were on Liberty, it was the pub. The last time (March 2020, the week the world shut down) we spent most nights in Bolero's. The bartenders were great people in both situations and that's what drew us to those locations. We also do the unlimited dining package which makes the cruise essentially "all inclusive" as we are only really paying out of pocket for stuff we buy in port. We aren't fans of the main dining room, but I recommend you give it a try to decide for yourself. You can always try one the specialty restaurants once on board.

Hey Lake Highlands! I completely agree. I checked in for our 12/19 cruise last night and it was great to see those documents. We also had 4 cancelled.

Thanks, Texas Legislature/TABC... Texas liquor excise taxes are ridiculous. $2.40 per gallon of spirits. In other words, most people do not declare any of it when coming back into Galveston.

Possibly... we end up at different bar as our "go to" each cruise it seems.

We are on Oasis Dec. 19th.

What if it "breaks"? Are new ones available if I take the "broken" one to guest services? Wet and/or too tight is a no go for me.

I think that would shock me, too!

Hi Jim! While I don't really have any advice on how to proceed, I'm sorry you've had to deal with this type of discrimination. Maybe try getting in touch with another resolution specialist using the same method you used to reach the original specialist. With everything going on, you never know if the person you spoke with is at work right now. They could be out sick or even on vacation.

We also lost Labadee (like every other cruise right now) and our sail away moved from 4pm to 6pm. As a result of the time change, they cancelled our stop in San Juan made it a sea day. They added St. Maarten and Coco Cay to replace Puerto Plata and Labadee.
