Glad to hear lots of positive things about this ship. I have a cruise's in Jan and Feb booked on it, so this is all making me happy. Can I ask about the jerk chicken you mentioned Shawn? I didn't see it before in Nassau, but obviously I didnt see anything. Big fan of jerk chicken since Jamaica, so if you could let me know where/what to look for in Nassau, it would be much appreciated!!

Well I have selected my preferences already, so that link indicates that a week before I will be "considered" for a stateroom upgrade. So I will wait and see what happpens. Still appears to be lots of rooms available in the cat. above what i booked. For my other cruise this winter, it is all sold out in the cat. above what I booked, so I guess asking what the cost would be for the next level up won't hurt and will answer my questions! Ok, that's what I thought for the points, just wanted to make sure.

For those of you who have been members for awhile, I was wondering how often you receive the perk of an "automatic" upgrade without asking for it? Also, are there any other advantages of being a member once you are on board. Is it perhaps easier to acquire an upgrade once on board, or do they give you a discounted rate if there is anything available? And i have yet to figure out exactly how the points work.....1 point per day of your cruise, or is it based on the $value of the cruise you have booked? Thanks in advance for the help........

Do they havre a dock at ther pirvate location in Haiti? A dock would solve alot of the problems for sure.

yeah,. it's a great deal and a no brainer for me. Worse case is I will call and do it that way, was hoping to be able to simply do it online. I just hate the line-ups for it. Last time, it took quite awhile, the line ups were long. But it was a fairly new concept at that time I think so perhaps more people were not aware of it until on the ship.

Still not available to be booked as of this morning.....grrr. It now shows them, but each time I try to book them, it tells me they are not available for my trip. Still some wrinkles to be ironed out I guess. But they better get them done soon, as my next cruise is in 27 days and I think you have to have your package pre-booked and paid for at least 5 days before the cruise?!

wow, sorry to hear that. Guess I should consider myself lucky that on my first cruise I was able to spend the day on coco cay. It's a great day on the island. Maybe if its a 4 day cruise, they can change the at sea day with this day and get you there? I am doing this cruise in Jan and Feb....sounds like I should be looking for the honey strung chicken when I get on!!

It's the airfare for me as well, but then that's always the case for us Canadians.... Vacation time is not an issue, neither is family. Airfare ranges normally from $600-800 to get to anwyhere in Flordia. Once you add on the single occ additonal cost for me, a $189 cruise is at least $1500. Once you add hotel overnite, shuttles and drink packages....its $2000. Thats why I have had to stick to 4 day cruises for around the $200 mark. While a 7 day cruise on Oasis or Allure would be a dream for me, it would also be a bank breaking vacation of somwhere around $4000 :angry: But it still tempts me everytime I see a deal like that... :(

Any idea about redbull/energy drinks? I know someone asked somwhere, but not sure if there was an offical reply. If everything else is included, i can't see why these wouldnt be?! But I have learned to never "assume" anything in life.....lol

I am glad to see this. I was thinking I would be dead before I would have enough points to benefit from the program. This should defn help!

I am heading out on the 13th of Janurary on Enchantment of the Seas. Then comming back and doing it again on Feb 10. Can't get enough of a good thing, or a good price!

Guess I missed out on the chance of being able to sail in the open ocean, enjoying a drink and a smoke on the balcony. I am late to the cruising game I guess. It's too bad there wasn't a way to be able to keep a side or section of rooms with balconies for those that do smoke. I have only been on one cruise so far and have 2 more booked. Seemed to me that there were ALOT of smokers on the boat. It's one of the things I enjoy about going south, the freedom to walk around with a drink in one hand and a smoke in the other. And yes, I am a non-smoker outside of my travels.

It's a great deal. For the extra $10/day you defn get your money's worth. Nice that there are more options and levels to pick from. But the best thing, is not everyone in the cabin as to pay for the package....about time and glad RC made the change!

Does anyone have a list of the ships that has JR's on it? I am guessing it must be the bigger or newer ships only?
