I have questions about child passports and can't seem to find answers anywhere. My kids already have current passport cards (not booklets). Will that be good enough or are they better off having the booklets? I have a regular passport booklet, and it will just be the 3 of us. Another questions is if it is recommended that they get the booklet, do we have to go through the entire passport process, as if they didn't have anything? Or is there an easier process since they have the cards already?

June 7, 2020 on Oasis of the Seas

If you log in to your cruise planner, you can see if it lets you use it. Put something in your cart and continue until the end. Looks like this if it's available.

Thank you!

I have some OBC from Royal Caribbean, and I have the option to use it on cruise planner now. When you check out, it will give you the option to use it now, if it's available.

My understanding is that the cabins on Oasis of the Seas were not refurbished. I'm not sure about Allure.

What other options are available for lunch on embarkation day on Oasis of the Seas? I've heard Windjammer can be really crowded, so I was hoping to avoid that.

I would love to see one of Central Park!

We have our first cruise on Oasis in June, and I was also thinking about doing the 3 meals. I think I will too. I really want to go to Chops, so it seems like it would be worth it.

Thanks for having the blog!

I'll be with my two kids so not solo. I asked friends and family to join, but not sure if they will.

Awesome! Check your prices. I looked today and it went down about $500 from a few days ago. We have an ocean view large balcony room.

Thanks everyone!

I decided to celebrate my 40th birthday with my first ever cruise! My birthday is in August, but I decided to go in June. Oasis of the Seas, leaving June 7th from New Jersey. Anyone else going? I appreciate Brock with M.E.I. Travel for helping me. He'll probably be sick of all my questions by cruise time! ?

Yes, please let me know what you think. Looks like we will be on deck 8 too.

Which cabin did you stay in? It looks like we are going to be on deck 8 too. Glad to hear you liked it.

Which deck(s) do you prefer on Oasis of the Seas? Are there any that would be best to avoid? I’ll be staying in an ocean view -large balcony room.

Title basically says it all. Besides the shows, are there classes or other activities besides the shows and “adventure” activities like FlowRider, climbing wall, zip line, etc? I’m thinking of things like bingo, cooking classes, crafting classes, etc. that I can do with my 12 and 16 year old? They are into the adventure activities and I know about the shows. We are looking at cruising on Oasis of the Seas. Thanks!

Thank you everyone! These message boards are amazing! I'm so glad I stumbled across @Matt's YouTube videos, which lead me here.

Surprisingly, it was the cheapest 7 day that I could find, given the criteria that I put in. I'll take it! LOL

Oops, I meant JFK, not LAX LOL. I will definitely check out more of Matt's blogs. I'm glad to hear that you didn't feel overcrowded on the Harmony. That was one of my concerns with picking a larger ship.

That would be perfect! Thanks!

Thanks everyone for replying. Port doesn't matter to me, as I will be flying in regardless. Itinerary isn't a huge deal, but I think I prefer Bahamas and Caribbean (avoiding Mexican ports). What about Oasis of the Seas? It's out of New Jersey in the beginning of June. Regardless of which port I pick, I plan to fly in about 3 days early and have a enjoy the sites before we set sail. I've never New York or New Jersey before, so that would be nice. I've read that there are 3 airports within close proximity (LAX, Laguardia and Newark). I know Newark is closer, but is one better to fly into? I prefer to stay in New York, so one of those 2 may be better?

Let's go Blues!!! Sorry, don't know about the venues in Miami, but have fun and cheer loud!!
