I'm here for all of the Snack Shack and WJ food reviews!

Sawgrass is in Ft Lauderdale, correct? Last time we stayed in Miami and we went to the Dolphin mall which was really nice, but we are staying in FLL this year so we'll definitely wander over to check this one out. Oh...it's CRUISE DAY!!!! Enjoy your breakfast and get to the port!!

I haven't even brought pants my past two cruises

There is no age to log into the internet. She can do that with no issues to browse, email or whatever... but to use the app (which doesn't actually require the paid internet) she would need to log in under one of the adults names. You can be logged in on more than one app, so if she logs in as you, you'll still be able to use yours

Couldn't have said it better!

This is how I read it at first, as well...but it got us to read the post!

Yeah, I know Cheers is a tourist trap, but same- just want a picture out front, basically. The hop on hop off might be in our plans, as well!

These gangs have to traverse mountains, un-paved roads and forests in order to get from Port Au Prince to Labadee...it would take them a day or more of VERY rough terrain. There is no real reason for them to even bother going that far west on the island when they are already accomplishing what they want without moving far from the capital. I'm more concerned walking to my car at 4am in Philadelphia every day than I would ever be in the secure, secluded area called Labadee. IF you don't feel safe or right about having fun on the other side of a country having issues, then you do you. But like many said, those few locals that do work in Labadee selling stuff would suffer far more if the ships stopped coming.

We'll be in Boston on Labor day, on a different cruise line, but I always assume the excursions are generally the same. I do see a Salem witch tour but it's literally the whole time we are there, get off, do a 7 hour excursion and get back on. I would love to do that eventually, especially in October!

We are heading to Boston in early September, we saw that but I think we are just gonna do our own thing. Figure out a way to Cheers, then just check out the Quincy market area. I figured that's actually "doing Boston my own way" lol. BUT definitely open to any other ideas, so I'll be checking to see if anyone gives you info on this one!

I'm late to this one, but congrats on the room!! Looking forward to that picture tour!! Always love a good Oasis blog, and I gotta say, your families packing game is WAY ahead of schedule. I'm lucky if we have the suitcase out 3 days before the cruise, and it's not zipped up until about midnight the night before we leave! Edited: had to fix my incorrect spelling of "Your"!!

Best bet is CruiseCritic, there is a forum for each cruise line. Not nearly as specific and not always as friendly as this page, but it's something!

I think you should take the room and not feel guilty...just because she may not be in a wheelchair doesn't mean she doesn't deserve to be in a more accessible room to make her walk to and from the elevators a little easier. She will still, at least, require a little assistance getting around or not able to walk long distances in one shot. Go for it, enjoy the extra room and the lack of steps to get around the room..even the one getting IN the room, which I have tripped over a few times myself!

This is how I feel about the buffet...the food is prepped and out. It's not getting put away to use tomorrow, may as well try a little of everything if you want!

I assume it's an attempt to stop waste, people ordering 2-3 entrees and eating a bite of each one. If they hold up on the 2nd one, you're more likely to eat all of the first one before asking for the 2nd one, and not even getting a 3rd one.

Yep. they got us on Oasis in October, also. We also did the "share" thing and it worked, ordered 1 each for the 3 of us then told him we were going to share a 4th plate to all try it and he always brought it out. He said they can bring multiple apps per person, but only one entree.

I follow a performer from aqua 80, she didn't mention anyone being hurt and still posting shows regularly, so I assume it wasn't major

My last cruise did the same thing. They showed a day apart until a few days before the actual check in

Chances are there are some more rooms than that, the GTY rooms are basically assigned, Travel agents have holds, and you would have to search all room sizes (2,3,4) to see what was actually available. Like Mike said, if you have a barcode- give it a scan!!

Yeah, MOST group rates are for Double occupancy rooms. At this point anything we book now, he'd be past the KSF age, so at this point that's out. BUT next year, we may do that and book two rooms, one under each adult\one kid and let him bring a friend. If we can manage adjoining rooms AND 2 group rate rooms, it might be worth a shot!

Fiona described it, but in addition to the printed version you can ask for, you can also download a PDF version of it to your phone every night for the following day- there is a QR code on the scheduled events channel in your room, and also usually hanging up by Guest services. I found this a neat way to save them without having to ask for the printed copies.

Yeah, unfortunately being three of us usually knocks us out of the group rate pricing, so to go cheap, we can go GTY, we got an inside, well an Ocean VIEW room for the next one, so we took our chance. We'll either be way at the bottom or get reallllly lucky and have one of the front facing, spacious rooms. Either way we are happy. I think my kid will like looking out the window and being almost level with the water.

Absolutely nothing wrong with it if you aren't really specific about where you are. We have a gty for our next cruise and not worried about a thing

For some reason Ice Skating and Laser tag both show up once you board. Even if you look at the app of a current sailing, they won't show up unless you are physically on the ship.

I'm just going off watching people- most of them seem to grab a water and walk away, almost in one motion. I usually grab a bottle of water AND something else, usually a red bull or a glass of wine for the wife, so I throw a buck or two down for that anyway, I think the only time I've grabbed water on it's own is on the gangway.
