Nantucket???

We love Oasis...she will not disappoint.

Be vigilant on checking the Cabana prices for changes. If you find a price you're comfortable with-grab it. If the price goes down, don't cancel right away. Book the better price under your traveling partner's name. You avoid losing the Cabana to someone who is a faster typer...lol. Only one name is needed for the reservation.... I wish I was joking but I learned this lesson the hard way...have a great cruise!

I'm also on the Oasis.

I have a sailing the end of January next year and most CP items are not available yet. I'm guessing 7-10 month mark it will start to populate but I check everyday.

Potential European cruises for 2026
michaelp1446 replied to TheoneandonlyMICAH's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
We booked Indy for August 2025 with a large group the day the deployment was released. When Celebrity released their schedule we jumped on the the Apex Itinerary with Geiranger and Flam. We love both of them. These 2 ports have been specifically mentioned as being closed to non-zero emission ships in 2026. It will be our first Celebrity cruise and we are looking forward to it. -
Norway - Excursions and general advice
michaelp1446 replied to Plasticbrain's topic in Shore Excursions
We were in Olden last May. We did the Briksdal Glacier excursion. You can hike up to the glacier or pay extra for the "Troll cars" to take you most of the way up. Loen Skylift is another great excursion. 10 minutes from the port. Phenomenal views from the top. A very good excursion for the elderly relatives. -
Potential European cruises for 2026
michaelp1446 replied to TheoneandonlyMICAH's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Norway is one of the most beautiful countries I've visited. We have 2 cruises booked for Norway for 2025. Would not get my hopes up for 2026 European cruise schedule next week. 2026 Europe deployment will most likely be released in October/November of this year. 2025 deployment was released in October of 2023. -
That's terrible.. The 2 people only are the beach loungers for 2. Blue and white striped with clamshell like tent attached.

I was holding off buying until I saw some reviews/videos posted after it opened. I was concerned about the pre-opening marketing portraying it as a Vegas pool party vibe. Watched Chris Wong's vlog and have decided it may be a little too loud and geared for a different demographic than the one I'm in. 30 years younger and I'd be all over it

Liberty OTS is the only New England/Canada that I see for August of 2024 and she sails on 8/29/24. On the 19th she's on a Bermuda cruise I believe.

Matt was just on Celebrity Apex and put out a video and blog post on it...might answer some of your questions.

What is going on with RCL food??
michaelp1446 replied to Robandmar's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
Sorry you had a disappointing experience.. I have been to the Solarium Bistro a few times over the years and it has Always been buffet style. Maybe it changed with the re-start. -
Same here. We booked Apex mid May to Fjords. May be last chance to see Geiranger and Flam by cruise ship unless they change the zero/low emissions requirement in 2026 for those 2 ports

Book the Arctic circle cruise! You will not regret it.

Any real cruise fare black friday savings?

THIS ! -
I would do the Apex... Geiranger and Flam are 2 of the most beautiful ports in Norway.. In 2026 the offerings that include these 2 most probably will be restricted to zero or low emission ships. This is why I was Extremely disappointed in Royal's 2025 offerings. We were on Jewel this past May and our 3 favorite ports were: Flam, Geiranger and Olden.

Opening Schedule for 2025 - 2026 Deployment
michaelp1446 replied to instaGator's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Booked Indy and waiting to see if Celebrity sails out of Rotterdam or Southhampton to Norway with a better itinerary. I like Indy but was hoping for a Radiance class for the Norwegian fjords. -
Europe Summer 2025 Available
michaelp1446 replied to Sea Squirrel's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
So was I...especially the Arctic Circle 12-13 night. -
That's actually a fantastic price for Atlantis...It was close to 329.99 pp on my Indy cruise earlier this year. If Atlantis is a bucket list stop, go for it. Baha Mar's new waterpark is supposed to be very nice and I'm hearing a lot more friendly to non-resort guests. Less expensive too...FWIW

Europe Summer 2025 Available
michaelp1446 replied to Sea Squirrel's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Hoping there is more to come. No Arctic circle cruises, Brilliance was penciled in for Amsterdam. They canceled my Athens to Barcelona cruise this week on Brilliance and replaced with Enchantment due to new IMO speed/fuel regulations. Now Brilliance is back doing similar cruises in 2025??? Anyone know when Celebrity releases their 2025 schedule...lol -

This 1:30 am "glitch" appeared in our CP for our 10/28/23 Adventure OTS cruise. They added some new excursions and did not click pm. All tours went off at the correct 1:30 pm time.

I have used Mercado Transportation for a group of 11 to and from MCO and Port Canaveral. 14 passenger Sprinter. Very comfortable and reliable.
