I've not booked the waterpark or overwater yet, we usually go to Chill Island. There is transportation that runs around the island that is hop on hop off that would take you between the two. $1049 for overwater is the lowest I've seen price wise, i.would be tempted to book for that price. For comparison, we paid $899 for a standard club cabana for feb 2021 and that was a good deal

While all of the dining venues are excellent, for us, the first time in a suite on a quantum class ship gave us full Coastal Kitchen access and it was the impetus to keep us in that class or above on all future cruises. It has the ambiance of a specialty restaurant coupled with a menu that changes throughout the week ... and I suspect many here would agree: Filet night is a can't miss!

Itinerary disappeared from future cruise

Mine are gone again also, and the dates are wrong again for me. Perhaps they are testing in Production again ? -

I found that the App and the Desktop cruise planner updated today and all of the information, dates, itinerary etc are correct now for my 10/18/20 Oasis sailing. You may find that others have been updated also. -
And be sure to only keep expired items in the fridge! ?? We are in a county that has had almost 0 effect. 12000 tests, 113 positive, no new cases in 2 months, and 3 deaths, early on and none of them were locals. I wish we had a cruise port nearby ... perhaps we could host an Oasis class for a few months while everything else gets sorted out!

I found the article, I was a little fuzzy on the details as it over a year ago. The refrigerator inspections were in NY, the extended surveillance was cyber based. For some interesting reading: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/03/08/tax-collectors-chase-rich-new-yorkers-moving-to-low-tax-states.html&ved=2ahUKEwj6wM6wm5vqAhUEHc0KHbZWBO0QFjAAegQIBRAB&usg=AOvVaw1KpBCLUl_j92Y6QB1vUZXi&cf=1

Originally, it was more of a weather thing I believe. The term used here is "snowbirds"...probably elsewhere also ? While it was mainly retirees in the past, working families in large numbers are leaving also as of late. The property taxes are half of the equation. Income taxes are out of control in NY also, but zero in Florida. A couple of years ago NY state was sending investigators to Florida to investigate former residents for tax purposes. Tracing credit card purchases, mail forwarding, even showing up at the Florida properties to inspect and even inventory the refrigerator in an effort to establish less than 181 days Florida residency so they could collect NY income tax. In case you wondered, I dont love NY. ??

Moving a Casino Comp Cruise due to Cancellations
Ogilthorpe replied to WAAAYTOOO's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
That is the only offer I have in my queue currently also. I suspect Club Royale is holding off on new offers other than the required annual status offers since most ad hoc promotions have a limited shelf life, and the short term future for sailings remains uncertain. I do, however, check frequently just in case....?? -
Itinerary disappeared from future cruise

I am seeing something similar still for my October Oasis only day4 Cococay is on the calendar. Full site has all of the itinerary info ...although the dates are still wrong on the main page. I would be OK with that itinerary though, 6 sea days and a stop at Cococay... I would book that if available ? -
You clearly have me mixed up with someone else. I neither started the thread you referenced, nor did I comment on it. I now remember why I have NEVER been even tempted to have anything to do with Social Media. I stumbled upon this forum last year and decided to join the conversation. My expectations did not include this. *sigh*

1. I have never posted a political view on this forum, @Matt has a rule about that and I believe it should be followed. 2. My comment wasn't politically motivated, it was a commentary on the influences of flawed bureaucracy that keeps us from cruising. A system that is an equal opportunity offender, it effects all sides.

I noticed a similar situation with my October 18 Oasis sailing from NJ but with a twist. The itinerary stops show only Cococay, the title still says "7 night Perfect Day Bahamas Cruise" but the Dates have been changed to October 18 -21 I wonder if this is related to the sudden venture into maintenance mode the other afternoon? Some database corruption perhaps?
