Black Friday thread: post the deals you see for your sailing
Lexster replied to ScottD's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Dang it, I'm trying to get the refreshment package. It's way cheaper than when I previously bought it! -
Pretty impressive. They had to build an entire rig just to move the thing.

Has anyone done the Mayan Evolution in Costa Maya? It sounds interesting, but not really sure how I feel about going into someone's actual home even if I do like the idea of the food.

I'm going to try for the inaugural cruise. My travel agent said she's going to give me a call today to get me booked. I'm pretty excited to get to do this even if it is pricey.

I was disappointed that I couldn't get a model when I went on the Oasis. We went on the first day and there weren't any. Hopefully Harmony will have some.

What's an infinite veranda?

My thoughts: The video finally shows the inside of that ball, but still not indication what it's for! Those could be seats, but they also look like steps. At first I thought maybe a light show, but it's a bit too surrounded on the sides and too open in the front and back for that. I definitely think it's some sort of visual spectacle. The colored waterfalls look cool. They're bringing back Central Park, it looks like. I'd assume the Boardwalk as well unless they have another idea for a neighborhood. Building a ship from start to finish in three years is just crazy and shows how far all kinds of technology has gotten to be able to make that happen. Pretty cool.

Oasis of the Seas Johnny Rockets Milkshake Refreshment Package

I did this a lot. They have some really good smoothies. -
In May I was on the Oasis OTS and I will say we had a few issues with the Freestyle machines. The one in the Solarium Bistro never worked. It was in an update cycle pretty much the entire cruise, so we never got to use it. Flavors were missing from other machines at various times as well. It was a little disappointing and I really wish there were machines in more locations on the ships. On the Oasis, they're only in the Windjammer, next to Sorrento's and in the Solarium Bistro. My main issue is you can't /just/ go in for a drink if you're near the Windjammer. They make you stop and wash your hands (and usually have to wait in a line to get a free sink) which makes just slightly too long for a quick pop-in. And there's almost always a line at the machines next to Sorrento's. And one of these was almost always out of everything since I'd guess they're the ones which get used the most. I didn't complain or anything since it wasn't a /big/ deal and I figured they'd fix things when they were noticed, but it was an issue throughout the cruise. I hope these things improve or that maybe it was just a one-off for our cruise. At the very least, you get soda from all the bars and venues too.

How did I miss that? Sorry for the dupe topic!

I've got a cruise booked for May and I'm starting to gather info for travel plans. Anyone have any good hotels they stay at when they go out Port Miami that tends to not be etremely expensive? I'd love to be in one of the hotels right near the port, but when I look up pricing for May it's insane, like almost $300-400 for a night for most of the surrounding hotels.
