Cruise booked as they say things get better as they age. At least that’s what my wife says about her😂😂😂

I was just on Oasis in November and loved it! Yes, she does show her age (ie rust in some spots, paint chips, color fading), but overall she was in great shape!! As someone else said, decor in the rooms is dated. We loved Aqua 80 and the BBQ joint (extra money). The slides were in great shape, we rented a casita which was AMAZING, and everything was clean! Don't let age get you with this ship! 

Cabin decor remains the same as does the decor in areas like elevator lobbies.
The amplification in 2019 was pretty amazing.  It focused on guests venues as opposed inside guests cabins.  Caribbean pool, slides, Playmakers, PortSide BBQ etc.
If you don't mind the cabins being pretty much the same as they have always been, Oasis is in great shape with many modern or current venues.    The new Aqua show is one of the best.

So when will they include the five night option. I purchased the five night for our 14 night Odyssey cruise in 2026.

Someone had to post it... 

Since we will never see an Icon class in the northeast we love Oasis class followed closely by Quantum Ultra. We’ve switched to sailing from New Jersey instead of Florida saving airfare for more on the cruise. Oh and I guess we’ll never see a newer oasis class also.

I have cruised out of there and into there a few times.  Every time I book with International Friends.  See all of their packages at Shore Excursions and Cruise Transfers | International Friends .  I always stay in London and explore the area.  I Like cruising into Southampton because  International Friends have excursions that will pick you up at the cruise ship and take you to places like Stone Hinge or/and the Roman Baths and then drop you off at your hotel.

When we sailed out of Southampton we used Blackberry Cars for the transfer. @Lovetocruise2002 also used them as well. We were on the same cruise to Norway. They are very good and responsive. They meet you right past customs and have nice vehicles.
There are plenty of hotels there. We stayed at the Novotel Southampton. This is a no frills hotel, but was quite nice. It's right by the cruise port and was a 6 minute uber ride that morning. If you read our blog (link in signature) I have photos etc. We walked around the city for the day when we got there before jet lag wiped us out. If you stay at that hotel, there is a McDonalds in the same parking lot for familiar food. There are also plenty of pubs etc around as well. It's not far from the "City Center" where all the original parts of the city, and the stuff you really want to look at. Check out the SeaCity Museum for a neat Titanic Exhibit. 

I just read on line she is leaving celebrity cruises. 

Liberty of the seas nine night sept 18.

I’m seeing 59.99 for nine night liberty in September 

On Alaska sailings, we purchase the refreshment package and use our diamond vouchers for the boozy drinks. We purchase the refreshment only for the Pellegrino and specialty coffees. I'm calculating when we get home from our current Symphony sailing if we should employ the same for our Caribbean sailings.

No gratuity is added on voucher drinks b/c they ring up as $0 so 18% of $0 is $0. Many people tip $1-2 on them but that's a personal decision.
If you plan to order 4 more expensive drinks then yes, you're better off paying for juice and water and saving the vouchers for cocktails. Make sure to tell them you DO NOT want to use a voucher when ordering cheaper beverages if you don't want them to, some servers/bartenders will use them automatically (others will ask).

Well I’m not going to let political games interfere with me visiting our neighbors on a cruise in September 😀
