I was going to ask about a kids menu also. I would love to know what's on it.

Good to know! We are on the Oasis in July this year.

I too am interested in this. We plan on doing this in a few years when we retire.

Oh I better check mine as we just got ours renews recently!

Good info! We bought the 2-device package also. My hubby will probably have his own a lot more that me as we own our own business and will need to be available. I figure that my 2 Granddaughters will log on in the evenings to watch Netflix before bedtime .

You have to keep you key card inserted into a slot inside the cabin and everything will work. I saw on another board when someone suggested to take an old seapass card and keep it inserted in the slot. However, it has been so long since we cruised that I'm not sure where my old ones are.

I will be doing this also. I just checked and my cruise is 125 days out; however, they have the end of June listed, so it won't be long now!

At the suggestion from many of you guys, I got us added on the wait list for early dining. Well, just found out yesterday that they have changed us to the 5:30 pm dining time. With the two youngest grandgirls (and hubby too) this will be so much better. We have our excursions picked and paid for, drink packages done, formal outfits figured out (for the most part) as we are doing the first formal night for family pictures. I have an over the door (big pocket) organizer as the two grands staying in our cabin will have too much stuff I'm sure. I have a USB charger that has 8 ports so that we can charge everyone's phones, tablets, and watches. I still need to get some of those magnet clips to hang stuff up (swimsuits to dry and etc). Any others good ideas that I might need?

Awesome! I will be sure and do this. I would like to do it on the first formal night as we are all dressing up in our finest that night!

My son-n-law turns 50 a few days before our cruise. I would like to have a cake or something one night during dinner. Is this something I can arrange once on board or does that have to be done prior? I would like to keep it a surprise. I know you can do something for the cabin decoration and such; however, I would rather do something special during dinner.

I figured as much! As another stated, he won't have any luggage so hopefully he won't have to wait too long.

I get motion sick easy and I take Bonine at night (it makes me sleepy). As long as I take that, then I have no problems.

We are planning on arriving around 10:30 am also. My son-n-law will drop all of us off with the luggage, then return our van to Hertz. Will it take him very long to get the shuttle back or is it close enough for him to walk back?

For our cruise in July, we are renting a 15 passenger van (there are 9 of us & luggage) from Hertz. We arrive a day early, then on embarkation, my son-n-law will drop us off at the port, take the van to Hertz, then ride the shuttle back to us at the port.

I saw on Cruise Critic this morning that MOS did not pass Coast Guard inspection (regarding Life Jackets). So basically, the guy that was on board was mad as they are loosing 1/3 of their cruise. I'm not sure if they didn't have enough life jackets or what.

Thanks for the links - we are doing the Playa Mia as the grandkids like the water park.

Well, in the case of my granddaughters - you can't go wrong with chocolate! :P

Oh well that explains a lot! We may not do it then, if it is geared toward 5 and younger.

I was afraid of that! We will have to call RCI and see, if at all possible, about the early seating.

We talked about the MTD; however, I have never done this and I really like the idea of sitting at the same table every night. I guess we just need to call and see. If not, then I guess will can do the MTD. MTD would probably make more sense when scheduling the shows.

When my son-n-law booked our cruise, he did not have the early seating option. We have 2 young ones and 2 older ones so I would like to change to the early dinner seating for our group. We cruise in July and we have had our cruise booked many months. I really do hope this is an option to change. Have any of you had to do this and if so, did you call them?

I am looking on line to book the Dreamworks Breakfast for the Grand kids. It says $10/ea per adult and free for kids. I selected all four of us (two are 9 & 11) and it said $40. Do I just select hubby and myself? Looks like they would need to know how many kiddos will be there. I'm holding it in my cart until I hear from some of you all that have done this before.

Yes! When you click on it, it will take you to another site where you will enter your cruise line, then cruise ship, then sailing date.

Just keep checking but I think the digital package is around $249. I just checked the Oasis of the Seas and it is up do April 2, 2017. It will be there soon for you to select. You get to print you own pictures out with the digital package and the quality is good. My daughter did this on their last cruise and loved it.

Our cruise isn't until July. I just looked on ours and it says to call too. I may be that it will show up soon to do it on line. I have done it on line before; however, it was a long time ago and I don't remember how far out I did it.
