Thanks so much for your response We are in different cabins unfortunately, the cost of the suite room is far too much compared to what i paid a year ago so had to downgrade one week to a balcony room. But good to hear they will move our suitcase to the new cabin.

I just extended my Oasis OTS Cruise in May and am doing my first Back to Back Cruise on Oasis OTS. Does anyone know what the latest procedure is for crossing over cruise bookings during covid times? (E.g. do we have to get off the ship, what happens with luggage and additional covid testing requirements). Flying UK to USA. If anyone has tips for a first time B2B cruise, let me know Thanks in Advance Matthew Smith

Im sailing on Oasis next year. On the ships we have been on so far we have got Premium Hot Drinks from the La Patisserie onboard (e.g Hot Chocolate with Cream) included in the Refreshment Package. Ive been told on Oasis Starbucks isnt included in the Package. Is there somewhere onboard to get Premium Hot Drinks from like the Hot Chocolate with Cream or Lattes/cappuccinos?

I was wanting the same thing afew years ago, but with the number of waters and Starbucks drinks we get throughout the day, its well worth the cost of the refreshment package. Although we only learnt this last time you can get specialty coffees in the windjammer lol.

I use a ID Card holder that clips onto my belt loop. Much easier for opening doors and doesnt get in the way like a lanyard.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and comments. Much Appreciated. In the end i went for it and purchased the JS for the extra money. Means i can look forward to becoming Emerald and only 19 points away from diamond. Might as well do it now while i can afford it, may not be in the same position in afew years time. Cheers.

We are looking to book our next cruise before the deadline for the end of the Double C&A Points offer. Is it worth paying £1000 more for a junior suite vs large balcony, just to gain an extra 14 points? (If we go for Junior Suite, we will both be Emerald Level, 19 nights away from Diamond, if we go for Balcony we will still be Platinum level, 33 nights away from Diamond) What do you think?

Thanks for you responses. Very much appreciated. Will use this help to try and book my first solo cruise.

Enchantment of the seas - 2019 - Western carribean. Can't wait for Oasis this setpember fingers crossed. Obsessed with royal ever since.

Waiting for my cruise on Oasis but looking to book another cruise but will be a single cruiser. Is there any way to avoid the double occupancy costs? Do you have any tips for single cruiser bookings?

Was due to cruise 12th september. Looks like we've been cancelled again ?

Jason12, thats amazing! Thank you. I was putting the wrong number in so the Airline Locator didnt work but the Carrier Locator worked. Unfortunately we dont have seats assigned and it doesn't give us the ability to assign seats but i am sure if i call them, they should be able to help with it. I am not used to someone else booking my flights. Usually do them myself ?

1 short flight and 1 long haul flight.

Aer Lingus

Thanks Jason. I have found that Airline Locator. How did you go ahead with booking your seat on the plane?

I've booked a package holiday with RC for the 1st time. Does anyone know whether it's possible to get your flight booking details so that you can login to the airlines website to set preferences like meals, seat reservations etc? We would like the comfort that our airline seats are reserved. Thanks Everyone.

Thats great thanks ?

Has anyone used the Refreshment Drinks Package on-board Oasis of the Seas? Is Starbucks included in the Package? (It was on Enchantment of the Seas, and i am reading online its possible that its not included on Oasis of the Seas) If not, are you able to get Hot Chocolate & Cream from any of the Specialty Coffee Shops on-board? (I dont drink tea/coffee and had lots of hot chocolate & Cream on my last cruise) Many Thanks,

Hi Melmar02, That is brilliant, thank you very much for your response. Gives me more comfort that its worth us getting the package ? Last cruise we had to buy two photos on their own and it was crazy expensive along with the packages sold onboard, crazy expensive. Buying one of these all digital packages precruise is around £130. So if all these photos are included it would be well worth the payment. Many Thanks,

We are sailing on the Oasis of the Seas in afew months. I have seen that on the Cruise Planner you can purchase a "All Digital Photo Package". On the terms it mentions that it doesnt include some photos (Static Photos of the ship, Characters, ports of call etc). I dont like the etc bit as they can then pick and choose what photos you can have. Has anyone purchased this photo package before, do you know what photos are included and which ones arnt? Many Thanks,

We are going on the Oasis in May also but an earlier sailing. We are also flying in on saturday for a sunday cruise. We found amazing reviews for the Best Western Plus next to the airport. Transportation to/from the airport is provided too. Looks really good. https://www.bestwestern.co.uk/hotels/best-western-plus-newark-airport-west-31049
