How do we know if, or when, the cruise has formal night? Or theme nights etc.

I know I agree completely. Our issue was that there were no suites at that time that accommodated 5 people because there were no two bedrooms left. Junior suites don’t count. But…..The 2 bedroom grand suite and the aqua 2 bedroom became available today so now I have options .

True. Very good point. We would try off hours maybe twice. I’m not going to be greedy. But now I have a strategy

I am going on the oasis in July from New Jersey and my sister and I and my son are in the owner suite with a connecting balcony room and two other kids in there. Does anyone know if the two other kids have the ability to come eat with us at coastal kitchen? They are teenagers. Since only three of us are in a suite only three of us have the perks. Are they that strict with that kind of thing? I understand if they are but I was wondering if anyone had this same situation ever.

Yeah I learned that the hard way lol. Thanks. Btw I recently had COVID and locked myself in a room for five days and binge watched the blog on YouTube. Sooo good. Thanks Matt for all your info.

I’m getting nervous. I see that the thrill waterpark tics for coco cay are now 129 pp. it was on sale a while back but I was waiting for a bigger sale. Ugh. Buying for 5 people so it adds up. Does anyone know if it goes higher than this? I also researched and when we dock at coco cay there is also another ship there. I’m expecting it to be crowded. We are July 8 oasis. we have a floating cabana too but I know kids will want the slides. Not sure what to do.

I definitely think masks would be required while walking to your table etc..but I’m just hoping that there is some normalcy while eating and outside. After all, everyone that boarded us either vaccinated or texted negative. Let’s see...

I totally get it and I would do whatever they say too! I was just wondering. My family is a little annoying about it but I’m trying to be the cheerleader!

I cancelled my Bahamas cruise out of NJ and I’m thinking of booking august Bahamas deportation. Are the masks required on the ship as strict as these messages we are reading about for cdc US cruising? Does anyone know?

Thanks. I know you’re right. I’ll probably do Bahamas with adventure of the seas.

I have a 24 hour hold on Bahamas grand suites adjoining for July 10. I’m booked on July 9 from New Jersey to Nassau. I’m so torn. My gut tells me July will be cancelled. It’s obvious. But my hope is holding on tight. I can’t pay both in full and wait. It’s the flights and the hustle and busses of flying that’s stopping me. I need to choose...thoughts?

What are your thoughts on dealing with customs if flying to Nassau and getting a cruise from there? Would we have to go through regular customs, I’m thinking they may fast track us and do customs entering the ship as if we were on an excursion. Not sure how that’s going to work.

This is what I was thinking-these can be “test cruises” to some extent. If things go well that’s just more evidence

I’m considering cruising out of Bahamas if July and August are cancelled in America. I’m booked for July but will try to push for august if July is cancelled. But I don’t want to be one of the first cruise boats,I do see chaos as a strong possibility until kinks are ironed out. But yes frustrating. And flying to the port equals 5 round trip airline tickets! Ugh!

Most restaurants these days don’t have buffet anymore, and if they do a person is serving it for you. Any ideas what contactless dining is on a cruise?

I’m in the same “boat” for July 9 out of Jersey! Please please....let us sail!

Anyone on oasis from New Jersey for the summer?

Yea I never thought of it like that. Somehow I think New Jersey will NOT be one of the first ports. Maybe Florida. I’m thinking of booking august from Florida just in case. Ugh. Thanks for input.

Who is booked for a summer cruise? I have one booked for July 9. I’m hopeful but nervous about cancellations. Thoughts???

I feel better knowing this info about Isreal. Now I guess the next hurdle is waiting to see the actual cruise is cancelled.

Since the rumor is that we might need a vaccine to board the ship, that would conclude that people under 16 years old will not be allowed to board since there is no approved vaccine for kids this age. I am wondering what everybody thinks about this and if they would allow children unvaccinated too bored. I have a July cruise planned with my 11 year old ?
