  1. Just got off Oasis on Sunday. Had a wonderful time! Tried the escargot and it was actually really good. The other food was really good too. The staff was wonderful! They were so accommodating to my dad who was in a wheelchair and understanding with my son who is neurodivergent. Even the now 16 year old had a good time. You can tell (in some spots) that the ship is 16 years old. If you wanted to list bad things, it wouldn't be hard to find something (like most things). However, you can also see that RCCL has tried to keep her in good shape and still looking good. For anyone who hasn't been on Oasis or it's just been a good while, I recommend giving her a spin. My next trip will be on something a little smaller due to the desired ports and it won't take me another 12 years.
  2. Thanks for asking this question because I was wondering too! I have a 1pm boarding time (yeah, I was lax about doing check in) but we will be there closer to 11:30. I would love to just be able to board instead of having to wait for over an hour.
  3. I told my Dad and he was repulsed by the idea. I was always afraid to try sushi. I started safe at first and then got bolder. I love it now. I think if you get out of your head thinking about what it is, then you're good.
  4. Same! I'm looking forward to trying the escargot this trip. My son said he's going to try it with me. You never know if you like it if you don't try it.
  5. It's actually 6 of us. I'm renting through Hertz and called them yesterday. They actually have a shuttle to the port from the airport we can use. I really like the idea of all of us going to drop off the van. That way no one is waiting for me (who knows the most about check in) and being worried if I'll make it back in time. Thanks everyone! I'll post a pic later if I can. Y'all are truly wonderful! Thanks!
  6. My check in time is 1pm at the terminal. We are planning to get there around 10am so everyone can off load and then I can deal with the rental, which has to be back by 11:30am. It may turn out that navigating FLL will be the biggest pain.
  7. I'm looking forward to seeing that one too!
  8. @tonyfsu21 I guess there will be signs to guide us to the right spot to off load, right? What really isn't helping is that after we off load everyone and everything, I have to drop the rental off at FLL and then get back in time. UGH!! Thank you so much for your help!!
  9. Ok, it's getting crunch time and I'm trying to make sure that we gauge the driving time correctly. How do I know which terminal at Port Everglades that my ship (Oasis) will be at? Is it like an airport where I go in and there are signs or what? It's been over a decade since I've been and now I have to make sure 2 septuagenarians and (basically) 2 teens who have NEVER been get to the right place as well. TIA!
  10. Woohoo!! Can't wait! April 5th (Oasis) @LandstromCruise You will be embarking the day we disembark. I hope you have a great time!
  11. The hubby and I did the Rising Tide on Allure. I expected more of an elevator feel while going up, but I barely felt it move. It was cool and the bartender was very nice. Our cabin was on 8 so it worked out. Unless you just like that bar, it kinda is just a one and done thing just so you can say you did it.
  12. Besides RCB, I usually listen to Tony on La Lida Loca, The Travel Scouts, and Life Well Cruised, though Ilana is a bit more high maintenance then me when it comes to packing I was talking to a friend the other week who went on Utopia the middle of this month. Before she left I told her that I watch RCB, she said she did too. It was cool. That was her first cruise and now she has "the bug". They have already booked a cruise on Star.
  13. I try to help local businesses when I can. However, I won't sacrifice good service just because they are local or a small business. I may have to look into MEI next time.
  14. I used Cruise Bound because I could never get ahold of my local TA. They were great and easy to use and FREE. I even got $100 OBC per room! I agree with @smokeybandit if they want to charge you then say no thanks and move on to someone else.
  15. We've had the issues with being teased too. Sounds like my son will have a good time then. He's looking forward to playing video games we don't own. We only have about 2 games. My only concern is that he's about 5'4 and loves to play with kids younger than him, mostly because they accept him for who he is and just want to have fun. He doesn't realize his own strength sometimes. I really wish they would have the 9-12 in a different area than the 6-8.
