I'm a first time cruiser and am in a Junior Suite on the Oasis April 5th. I received an email to "Royal Up" with options for a Grand Suite, 2 bed GS, Owner's Suite, Grand Loft Suite and Aquatheatre 1 bed! I thought our room looked lovely when I booked it but it sounds like there are many benefits to moving up in class; I put some time into selecting our location so I'm not sure I like the randomness of the upgrade too. How far out do they accept/decide on the bids if I decide to make one?

Hi, I'm a first time cruiser and have enjoyed using the cruise planner application to pre-book our meals and excursions. When can I expect to be able to make reservations for the entertainment on board? We're on the Oasis of the Seas - April 5, 2020 - about 55 days to cruise! Also, we are in a Junior Suite and I think that gives us access to the Coastal restaurant for dinners - will that be open to pre-book or must we do that onboard? So many experienced cruisers on here - I've picked up a lot of great tips. Thank you.

I'm sailing on the Oasis April 5th - when do they generally open the reservations for entertainment in the cruise planner? I think we are about 59 days to cruising! I'm a first time cruiser and have been able to plan & purchase everything other than the onboard entertainment so far. Thanks to everyone on this forum - have received many great tips and ideas.

I've rented a car from Budget - pick up at Fort Lauderdale airport Sat evening, drive to Miami hotel where we are spending the night pre-cruise, drop off the car at the Budget port location on Sunday morning and they will shuttle us to the ship. Total cost for a standard SUV on Costco.com was $63.00. We haven't travelled yet but after looking at all the different scenarios this just seemed easiest for us.
