Happy Cruise day!! Looking forward to following along!

Happy Cruise day!!! Cant wait to follow along!! Everything so far has been a blast to read. I have 77 more days until I step onto Oasis myself.

Looking forward to this!! I'll be in 10324 in July!!

Ahhhh, yes, I remember that walk. Just keep telling yourself, it helps burn the extra calories.

Excited to follow along! I had a great time on Navigator a few years ago, she is a great ship. The Blaster water ride is lots of fun. We were also in the 2brgs and the walk wasn't too bad. Expect to feel azipod vibrations in the mornings if you are backing into ports.

Ask the girls what they want to do, and give them the option. Watch Youtube videos of each space prepandemic to get an idea of crowds. I've known enough teen girls that at some point, they would rather tan than do water slides, where the beach club becomes a nice option especially if they want a more "exclusive feeling" space

Excited to follow along with this one. I’ll be on oasis in February in a star class room. I can’t wait!! I won’t start my blog early…….I won’t start my blog early……

I was late to the party on this one, but it has been a lot of fun to read. I'm glad you had a great time. I'll be on Anthem in July in 10324 so I need to remember to read this again just before we go for all the CK tips, and other ideas.

I'm finally getting caught up on live blogs, life at home has been busy. This has been so much fun to read, and I was so excited for you guys when I saw your Facebook posts in the star class group. I'm so glad that you had an amazing time. I'm now going to have to find your YouTube videos and watch all of them. It will be two years in drydock for me by the time I finally get on a cruise ship again. coincidentally, it will be on Oasis, star class in the 2BRATS.

You've created another one huh @Lovetocruise2002Welcome to the suite snob life, you will like it here!

I fully expect kids will be required to be vaccinated after a delay to allow people to get their shots. Richard Fain has always put out that vaccines are the way to get back to "normal cruising" so I don't expect him to back down from that. My son has his appointments scheduled already, and my daughter was in the Pfizer trial, so we just need to have her unblinding appointment. We will be all set for our upcoming cruise in February.

I'm assuming those are all next year? If so, I wouldn't worry. Pretty much all of the apps functionality starts much closer to the sail date, and for many things, not until you are actually on the ship.

It has been known to happen that you find out on arrival at the terminal.

Just for fun, I looked up the chefs table wine pairings and after going through the wines, the $25 doesn't seem that bad. The $25 basically covers the upcharge on glasses that would be over $13. The pinot grigio in the first course, I couldn't find on the menu in vintages on the app, so I'm going to assume normally is $13 or less. The Conundrum in course 2 is $16 in vintages The Peter Yealands Marlborough is sold by the bottle for $50 in vintages, and others in that range go for $15 a glass Chablis Premier Cru in course 4 is $21 a glass The 50th anniversary Robert Mondavi is $105 a bottle in vintages, so $26ish a glass by other comparisons. Add up the differences over the $13 that the delux beverage package gets you and those wines and you get $25 As a wine drinker myself, I'm looking forward to this in February when I'm on Oasis.

I've been to the space center a few times and never saw a luggage storage option while there.

Like @WAAAYTOOO said, your best bet is to call them. That being said, we have 6 in a 2BRATS as well. Passengers 5 and 6 are the same rate as numbers 3 and 4, so if the two youngest are passengers 5 and 6 dropping them off shouldn't cause a reprice. I have booked a few of these rooms with 4 originally, and the base rate never changed when I added guests 5 and 6. You may lose your deposit for the two, or get it back as FCC depending on the CWC rules for your sailing.

I believe so

Yes, there is tons of food at Coco Cay that is included in your cruise fare.

Just for fun, I logged into the "make a payment" for my Feb 20, 2022 cruise. Per my invoice, my final payment date is in the middle of November, but on the website it now states balance is due in January. I have not received an email yet. I still plan on making my payment in November unless I hear otherwise.

currently if you are fully vaccinated you are free to get of the ship and roam on your own ie independent tour.

When you call Air2sea you can still select a flight that comes in the day before. Just tell the agent on the phone you want to do that. I did this with my last cruise just before the shutdown.

Thanks for sharing. Ill be on Oasis in February in a 2br ATS so I'm full of FOMO reading along!

Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy looking at your great photos.

Thanks!!, Things have been so busy around he house I have not had much time to hang out on the blogs. Things are getting back to normal, So I'll be here much more. I have so many live blogs to read and catch up on, and a cruise to go on in 146 days (waaaytooo far away) so my own to write as well!

@Steve in OrlandoI've done dolphin encounters at both Nassau and Cozumel, but not Sea World. Reading the description of the Sea World experience it sounds very similar to what we did in Nassau at Atlantis. In Cozumel, there was the opportunity to be pulled by their dorsal fin, pushed by a pair of dolphins by your feel, and other close encounters. If you have had this experience before at sea world, I don't think you will find any added benefit. I've done two dolphin experiences only because the one at Nassau was without the kids with us. When we were in Cozumel, we had the kids too, and they had not done a dolphin experience before, so that's why we did it again. Doing the push/pull, while neat, is not so amazing that had the kids not been with us we would have done a different excursion. Hope my rambling answer helps....
