Beach bed and just chill 

From a similar cabin on the independence of the seas 

Don’t care as long as I get my balcony discount and 3 free drinks I’m all good the diamond lounge can be a clicky place at times...

Bumped into @JetlaggedAgain and his wife quite shocked at the news because we meet in the plane and chatted,  today they were tucking into a Italian lunch both seemed in good spirits, I gave him some pointers on how to push a wheelchair as I’ve been doing it a long time and there’s a knack to it

all the best 

ps I’ve still got more chocolates if it helps

I might stalk you for the whole week

A long shot @twangster but I’m trying to find out the location of table 617 deck 4, they’ve assigned it to us for next week but want to make sure it’s location and good for a wheelchair...

If they have it then you can get it.  They sometimes run out and you have to go bar hopping to find a bar that has it.  They usually will give you the can if you ask but usually they will open and pour it into a glass by default. 

Oasis in September they gave cans everywhere no soda gun and they just gave the can with a glass of ice was hoping for the same, it tastes much better from a can..

enjoy the rest of your cruise..

In case you were wondering...CVS receipts are a mile long, even in Puerto Rico.

The haul...just to assure the stinky pits won't happen again, got plenty of options

And since the UDP is cutting into my sit in the Diamond Lounge and squirrel away cans of Coke Zero time....

It tastes better in a bottle anyways.

Do you know if they still giving cans of soda especially Zero at bars with the package? 

Looking at the new top decks on the Oasis I do hope they have not taken wheelchair access because it looks very cramped

I don’t get the dates on these new cabins because the oasis as now got them but don’t go live till 2021?? 
 

hoping we get one next week on Oasis deck 9 aft 

Check this site out it lets you search for solo in one swoop..

That's not even close to same situation. With the crane, entire cruises were cancelled. In this situation, the sailing is still occurring. 

A cancelled cruise is much easier to deal with because it’s final with a full refund and basically a free cruise..a shortened and change of itinerary cruise with no compensation or fcc is very hard to swallow happened to us twice now we lost close to 3K.

So from this I will now be getting a refund of £2266 for us both and they will be loosing our custom

One thing I’ve noticed over the years of this was in the US they would compensate much better, look at the Oasis when the crane fell on it full refund with 100% fcc...

I think royals calculator is broken! $105 pp refund! I’m a seriously p*%#|~d off right now

how can they remove a promotion that I have already paid them in real £

 

this is disgusting! 

They did the same to us last year on the Navigator, we cancelled and swapped to the Oasis luckily our return flight was same day we disembarked, turned out to be a fantastic land and cruise holiday never sail from Southampton after September we’ve learned the hard way..

People in our Facebook group for the 8th are getting their gty cabins today and some have got royal bid offers today so looks like it’s all good..

We used Alamo car rental a minivan cost about $70 and dropped at the port office who have a free shuttle bus to the port and did the reverse after the cruise..

The Colosseum 

Advance tickets not needed go to this place on the day and you will get a guided tour with express entrance the extra cost is worth the super fast entrance because if you queue it can can around 2 hours to get in...

I'm also going on Dec 8th! I snagged a "no solo supplement special", via Sharla at MEI travel.  I also booked the Key (again), VOOM, extra ice time, seating at shows, swift carry on luggage delivery and breakfast on debarkation day... YOLO!

I am looking forward to trying the barbecue restaurant, going to the dive and ice shows, and skipping the main dining room. I must have dinner in Old San Juan! I'll try all the slides, because they are there.. but just once. Same with the zip-line!  It will be my first time on Oasis class, and my first time solo. I usually cruise jam-packed-full-ship on holiday sailings with my husband and sons. 

The Diamond Lounge being moved to deck 4... meh. But it's on Deck 4 on Anthem, and I like that lounge, it has pool tables nearby (for my teenage boys to be occupied during happy hour), and it's an easy walk to the dining rooms..  So I promise to hold my opinion of it's new placement until AFTER the experience, instead of dreading something beforehand! I see myself ordering room service coffee in the morning though, instead of trekking to the Diamond Lounge for it.

I'm looking forward to viewing @Matt 's compass from his Thanksgiving Trip! It's great to see what they will do on Day 1 before I board, and if they have "night riding" on the flowrider.  Some items are posted on the app already like daily flowrider times; but not the open skating times.

The weird thing is i never changed anything...in one instance i don't get a military discount and the other i do, but it still doesn't add up mathematically.  

I had the same daft pricing for the 8th December sailing price without C&A number for solo £990 price with number £1500 Anyway they sorted it eventually..

Same no bookings for our December cruise, I bet they are waiting for diving pool stage is fixed completely while in dry dock, the diving show was a different show few weeks ago due to the crane accident...

We just got upgraded from XN to 8D ocean balcony and got 2 connecting aft rooms on the Oasis

But you can't purchase the Key for just 1 person in a room anyway.. Its either you all buy it or no1 buys it.. So if you all buy it you can all have the Chops meal in the MDR together

He has his own cabin..

Deluxe £37.24 refreshment £15.20 for our Oasis December cruise I’ll let you do the conversion

It's still the Chops menu, just served in MDR because Chops was too small a venue. Details: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2019/08/27/reader-finds-update-the-key-enchantment-of-the-seas-propulsion-issues-and-more

We always do Chop’s on embarkation day and was hoping he could join us if he just purchased the key but now we would be split up takes the shine off a paid so called VIP addon..

Just looking at the Key for my son as he wants more time on the flowrider and noticed Chop’s meal is not served in MDR..what’s special about that..?
