I'm 6 foot 5 inches tall and a bigger guy. It was tight on the Oasis, but I managed. It becomes a running joke every cruise "fat guy, little shower".

Beginning for June we got a ticket as we pulled into the outdoor lot. Paid at the kiosks when the cruise was over and we exited the building. They have people standing there to scan your ticket and credit card as you pay to make it go faster.

Brand new ships vs. Amplify older ones
Mr. Green replied to D Alt's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
It may not be economical to amp a ship due to size, age, etc. You can only do so much with the space you have and at a certain point engineering does come into play with what can be done. This really would apply to older ships. Also, the cruise industry like everything else is a case of "keeping up with the Jones's". Other companies are building bigger floating cities with multiple entertainment venues and dining options. It seems that was the industry is demanding these days. While you may have a small market share of people that enjoy a smaller ship, it is going to come down to dollars, profit, and getting people on the ships. -

Several Cruises ago I had the alcohol package and started throwing a couple dollars or so on the tray of the pool server. Lets just say I never had an empty drink next to me the entire day. I had to start telling him I was good.

I think anything with a cord has a risk of being confiscated since they are not going to take to time to see if it's a surge protector or not. I used this on our last cruise with no issues. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082FJXVW6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Just got off the Oasis yesterday after boarding on June 10th. We were hearing that the ship was around 90ish percent full. I can honestly say that the staffing may not be 100%, but we had no issues. Had My Time Dining at 7pm and was seated immediately every night. Dinner took around 1.25 hours on average, but could have been faster if needed and you asked. Always found seats in the buffet and only had to wait about 8 minutes one day to make sure we washed our hands. Overall they seem to be getting things done. I will say the line was longer for MTD if you did not have reservations.

Oasis of the Seas 7/1 - Cape Liberty Parking
Mr. Green replied to Kenshin's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Just got back from the Oasis sailing 6/10-6/17. We arrived at the port around 10am and luggage drop off was a breeze. Drove around and the entrance to the garage was Handicap parking only. Was directed down the street and to the left to the outside lot. Was parked pretty upfront closest to the terminal and not a far walk at all. Now, friends of ours on the same cruise arrived around 12:30pm and was directed into the garage. I will say getting out of the lot is pretty easy and they have the process down pretty good. -
Oasis of the Seas May 8th Sailing Preview
Mr. Green replied to CTcruisers88's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
If you look around Newark Airport you will find pretty much all the major hotel chains. This is only around 20+ or so minutes away from the port and a very easy drive. Best parking option is the garage next to the port. Park and it's just a short walk to the entry to the Cruise Terminal. -

If you find the island on Google Maps/Earth, you can see the support buildings and areas that are not visible to the guest when on the island.

I ordered this one after is was told it is cruise safe. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082FJXVW6?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Just be advised that I have read other reviews where depending on the Ship, Time of Day, Users, etc. that Voom alone sometimes is only good for texting off ship and Voom & Stream are more reliable and stable for Facetime and making calls.
-
The best thing to do is look at some of the Cruise Bloggers on YouTube and other sites. Some of an Amazon Store of favorite things and usually have a cruise approved plug or extension port. You can try searching Amazon also.
-
The area around the airport has several hotels and just about all the main chains. You will only be about 20 or so minutes to the port. Second thing, check with the hotel if you are allowed to park there the entire week. Also, does the hotel offer shuttle service to and from the port?
-
Just a tin foil hat response, but the staff may be saying this to make sure you rate everyone 100%. I hate when people tell me about a survey and then proceed to tell me how I should rate them. Major turnoff and it will most likely result in a lower score or rating. Also, people need to be honest. It's the only way things or people are going to improve. If you just mark the highest rating all the time, nothing is going to change.

I believe it will depend on the ship and type of room. I know some ships have the bunk beds that fold out of the wall, but a different room category may have a fold out bed from the couch.
