Thanks! I'm all about safety and going with the flow. I just love to have all the knowledge I can so I understand. 🙂

Thank you!! I feel better. I think that since it is getting so close now....22 days, I'm getting a bit nervous at all the unknowns. lol

It's not that we need to keep an eye, I would just have to repack the next day or at least reconfigure the bags with the stuff we can't take in the carry on bags on the plane. Annoying I suppose. Since this is my first cruise...I don't know if it will be annoying or not. Maybe dragging 2 large bags and our carry on bags from deck 8 to whatever deck we leave might be more annoying. If we do let them take the bags, will the compass tell us when to leave them out there, what time we have to leave and where to pick them up? What time do we have to be off the ship?

Does each port have a different tolerance on whether the ship can dock? Does the highlighted yellow mean it isn't docking?

What do you do with your luggage? I've read that we should leave it out in the hallway the night before then we pick it up at the port the next morning. Is this mandatory? What do you do with your shampoo and stuff that is over 3oz and cannot go into the carry on bag? Do you just open it before checking in at the airport and repack stuff? Do you just tote it with you in the morning? Our flight doesn't leave until 4:30 so we have plenty of time to get off the ship. Thanks!

Congrats! Glad you can make your bucket list!! It is on mine also.

Thank you everyone so much for your input! Much appreciated. Just reading some of the issues with the apps, audio and lighting, we might pass. A waterproof case is between $80-$100....which is cheaper than a phone and a Go Pro...but ouch. lol 🙂

We are booked for the Oasis next month and I've been thinking about buying a Go Pro. I would like to be able to take it on our excursions and around the ship to take videos and pictures so I don't have to worry about ruining my phone with the water. Even though both my husband and I work in the IT field....we are not "photo/video editing, techy" people. LOL Something that would be easy enough to learn but have quality images and a good battery. I've looked online and there are just so many! I have seen prices between $17 to $500. Don't want to spend too much money on something that is just for fun and a few times a year. What are your experiences? What are some key elements I should notice?

Sweet! Congrats!

Happy Sailing!

I bought these magnets. They are supposed to hold 40lbs. I tried it on the fridge and it wouldn't even hold an empty water bottle. Is the metal different in the room versus on the fridge? Should I return them? https://www.amazon.com/CMS-MAGNETICS-Magnetic-Holding-Color/dp/B016Y9IZ3Y/ref=pd_nav_hcs_rp_1/131-6550940-8753735?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B016Y9IZ3Y&pd_rd_r=494affe9-e016-422e-a593-bbbe68ad8c1a&pd_rd_w=n1K7G&pd_rd_wg=t1lS4&pf_rd_p=a39cbf92-f4bd-486b-8b34-96be9aa72987&pf_rd_r=BSKPXHV61BEFDT5GTHF0&psc=1&refRID=BSKPXHV61BEFDT5GTHF0

I already checked in online and we have the Key. Is it worth it to scan our documents via the app to get expedited? I would think the Key would be higher. Not sure as this is my first sailing. 🙂

Thank you! We are sailing on the Oasis on Feb 9th. 🙂

We are arriving the day before our cruise in February on a Saturday, but not landing until 4:30. We are staying at the Intercontinental near the port and have never been to Miami. What is something fun to do or something we shouldn't miss? Something that we could take an Uber/Lyft fairly inexpensive or even walk. Also, our return flight is at 3:30pm. Anything worth doing that could get us back to the airport by 1:30 on the return day?

I don't like closed in spaces...at all! But I do want to try the dry slide on the Oasis. For some reason, when I found out it wasn't a water slide, it became more an option that I will ride it. lol
