Also I should say YES to the original question! I miss vacation so badly. My last was skiing in Mammoth in late February and it's been such a long road since then. I should've been to Puerto Vallarta and spent a few nights at Disneyland by now. Would be leaving Saturday night to Miami to see an Oasis class for my first time ?

Wow! Is that a B3B in Jan 2022?? How amazing! I just added another for 2021 hoping we'll finally be sailing by then but pricing 2022 is in my sights!

130 days since I got off the Oosterdam from a cruise to the Mexican Riviera (Love that it leaves 5 minutes from my apartment, don't love the average age on board) BONUS: 189 days till Oasis of the Seas to Labadee! I hope we're all cruising by late summer ?

Some of my friends at Pig Pen Theatre Co. produced content specifically for Virgin's Scarlet Lady which would be an awesome option! That way the content they create will fit any guidelines like PG rating, sets, number of actors needed etc. They create awesome folksy musicals where the actors are also the musicians. Please enjoy me as a pirate in their The Old Man and the Old Moon:

Something like Once On This Island would be cool! Family-friendly musical with huge dance numbers and a Caribbean theme.

Has anyone ever stayed on the line after a call to Royal and then actually took the survey they tell you to wait for? I always try and it always just hangs up on me. Such a nice operative just helped me save $350 repricing my 3 cruises and I would've loved to leave a good word for him!

That's what I was thinking! I haven't received my credit for the 125% in OBC but the price is sooo low. They're banking on me buying it anyway and using my future OBC for more things! Pretty good move, I'd say.

My Oasis is at 19 days and still lets you open the cruise planner! It loads all the items but if you try clicking around too deeply it recognizes the cancelation and generates an error page.

My Jan 2021 cruise on Navigator finally loaded beverage packages in the cruise planner today at a whopping $89/day! The booze/voom combo is wild. ? Make that money Royal!

I am hoping for August normalcy for you, Joe! It doesnt hurt that I alsooo have a land vacation to Jamaica in Aug for my birthday. ??? I can't wait to be back on a ship just sitting on the balcony breathing in the sea and feeling completely relaxed!

What do you call an arrogant criminal walking down stairs? A condescending con descending!

Aww, I am guessing that means they won't offer it! I guess Royal is choosing to acquire $0 of my dining dollars instead. ?

Aw rats, duplicate post.

This is my May replacement cruise! Your blog got me even more excited about finally trying Oasis class. Thanks so much for taking the time!

Wow! Thanks to this thread I am now eyeing Nellie's Beach cabanas.. $400-$600 is outrageous for a couple when I think about it as coming from my own pocket but when the money is free, those cabanas are really calling my name!

Is the UDP offered on every sailing? My November 2020 Oasis replacement cruise doesn't yet list it (although it does have 3-night and Chops+1). Do you think it's a matter of time before if shows up or do they not always offer it if dining sales are good? Possibly it's MIA because they need that $$$$ post COVID. I really got to liking the idea of having it on Oasis since it's a mini sailing and they have a ton of great options!

I was happy to take the 125% on my cruise planner purchases as OBC! I had gotten the booze/voom combo on Oasis for $59/day on Black Friday and it's $59 for only the booze on my replacement cruise. ? At least it will help a little with that!

hah!

Seeing Freedom waiting for us in San Juan on embarkation day!

Thought this was pretty cool to see even though it's a Regent cruise ship! The cruise ship berths are way closer to the mouth of San Diego bay so it's very strange to see a liner cruising under the bridge. Look at all that vertical clearance! This is the Regent Seven Seas Splendor heading for a dock in the Naval Base at pier 13. .

Saw this interesting youtube video from a casino worker on Oasis. Yesterday they were able to eat at JR!

Rene, every time I see your name I take extra note as I am on this same sailing! I just booked a 4-night on Oasis for November today (refundable) just in case we get the boot too. Now I've beat those 5,000+ people to the next available 4 night Oasis!

wow, I was at Disneyland yesterday and the place was PACKED even in pouring rain (continuously from 9am-4pm, unheard of in CA). I bet everyone thought it would be empty due to Covid fears, but we all thought the same thing.

haha I am nervously going to Disneyland tomorrow but packing a couple 2oz hand sanitizers for after EVERY RIDE! also #stillgoing 53 days...

Yep this is my thought. Sitting on my balcony off the coast of Miami for 2 weeks when I only paid for 4 days of cruising would be great! Even if I couldn't leave the cabin.. Sounds relaxing. I certainly wouldn't lose my job and have hundreds of hours of sick and vacation time, so.. hoping to still go! ?
