  1. Just sent an email to my MEI travel agent. This cruise would check a few boxes of the list. Looking forward to meeting everyone.
  2. It was in the event in one of the inaugural Facebook groups. I saw it by chance last week when I finally marked my attendance as "maybe." I'm sure the alcohol will still taste the same .
  3. I'm happy with either and love both designs. An adults only space that's not the solarium is all I wanted for Christmas ! It always felt disconnected, stuffy, like people who wanted to get away from kiddos were being punished LOL... That's just me of course.
  4. It does mention in the description "adults only" so maybe just an oversight (fingers crossed for a few adult only pool zones). I'll submit the bug report immediately - LOL!
  5. Well, my wife's time off request wasn't officially approved, but she's not on the schedule LOL. I think her manager doesn't know how to work the new system. Always react mode with staffing. Anyway, relieved she's making it.
  6. They'll let us board together, so no biggie. In the app you need do each person separately, strange but makes sense in a way. Gives you the flexibility to check in yourself or everyone. I started a few minutes after midnight too. Needed to sledgehammer the app for it to recognize check-in was open.
  7. I got 11:30 and a second later only 12:00 was available for my wife. So, definitely got lucky myself but they went fast.
  8. I was personally looking forward to it. Now instead I'll be on the Icon inaugural sailing. Blah, not the same
  9. Sorry your wife cannot make it. My wife's time off hasn't been officially approved yet either, ER nurse. It's always a gamble for us booking something before she can put in the request. We'll know in a few weeks I guess.
  10. Finally booked flights. Prices are down about $600 from last week. Little bit of points, little bit of cash. I'm definitely disorganized this cruise, working on fixing that. And hey, lay flats on the return. Rare for Miami to Newark flight.
  11. We sailed Oasis of the Seas January 16th 2010 and it was a lot of fun keeping up with everything. My favorite was following Captain Wright doing the crossing.
  12. Congratulations @CHRIS WONG on not only being trusted with another launch but, IMO, the most important one since December 2009! Looking forward to crossing paths during the inaugural sailing... I've had our stateroom booked since bookings released. Almost couldn't make it, but things have changed and I'll be there!
  13. Right. I'm thinking bigger than the cookie. I am a bit of a pessimistic person and can see this as the beginning of a lot of "complementary" offerings becoming à la carte. But, as you said/implied, cruisers will vote with their wallets. Time will tell.
  14. Yep. I get the raised prices, even the sticker shock ones like the $92 dollars per day for a drink package and the $3800 floating cabana I'm seeing in my cruise planner for Icon's Inaugural sailing. $2 dollars plus 20% gratuity to warm up a cookie is insulting. Typically I cruise about once per year (although guilty of cruising a bit more during the restart days) so for me, whatever. But I feel bad for those that only take cruise vacations, multiple times per year. It's going to ruin the experience for them if they have to open up their wallet for stupid *cough, cough* stuff like a cookie. Just my opinion of course and as long as the core experience is still the same people may be okay with the nickel-and-dime tactics, even if they are just suggestions or test pilots.
  15. * Links removed I'm sorry, how is $2.40 "a small fee" for sticking the (what sounds like) same old cookie in the oven? Is that per cookie? I'll stand there with a lighter and warm it up that way out of spite. Side note, does anyone have a lighter I can borrow LOL!
  16. Windjammer line etiquette, heck line etiquette anywhere on the ship is another I'd add to the list. I bite my tongue quite often because, vacation... not worth it.
  17. I want to see the data, all of it. They have to claim SOME were okay with it. Let me do a few SQL queries in that database LOL.
  18. With the Panama Canal group cruise cancelled this cruise is looking like more of a possibility. I honestly was going to bail at the last minute (refundable fare) but now, why not. If I can carry a vacation day or three over to January, then I'm 100% in, right now, 99.9% LOL.
