  1. We're definitely looking into an Alaska cruise sometime in the future! So fingers crossed when we get around to it haha.
  2. Aaah okay, That makes sense! Appreciate the response!
  3. I tend to prefer a rainy, overcast day over a sunny day in general. So when I booked our cruise out of NJ in the middle of hurricane season, I had high hopes of hitting a bit of rainy weather along our route. Unfortunately, that has not been the case and it has been nothing but sunshine this week... Our next cruise won't be until next October on the Icon and I'm carrying similar hopes to that sailing as well, but I was wondering if the more experienced cruisers out there might have some personal experience on when I might be able to book a week or so with a higher chance of some stormage! Thanks!
  4. We departed from Cape Liberty a couple days ago. Our planned boarding time was 1:30, but the latest a shuttle was running was 10:30. So we had planned to just hang out at the port for a couple hours, but they ended up just pushing people through regardless of boarding times. I think we were on by 11:30 or so? Be wary of the line to get into the port though. It went relatively quickly for us in a shuttle, but the line was pretty long.
  5. Appreciate all the answers! Sorry I know the question was kind of vague, but I just meant in general for personal preferences! Lots of good info here though. Regardless, it sounds like I'm probably going to have a pretty good time and that's all that matters!
  6. Hello, I find myself in the transition from one job to another and thought what better way to spend these couples weeks than to book a last minute cruise! So my wife and I ended up settling on the Sept 11th Oasis departure and although the itinerary leaves something to be desired, I'm still pretty excited with just being on the boat in general haha. Big ships are fascinating! Anyways, back in 2011 I sailed on the Oasis with my family and I don't remember too much from it, and a few months ago I sailed on the Wonder. I also saw the Oasis had been updated in 2019, which sounds nice. So I was wondering if I might be a little disappointed going from the Wonder to the new and improved Oasis and was curious about others opinions on how the Oasis class ships rank against each other?
  7. Aaaaah, okay, yes this makes sense! I hadn't seen this and I'm guessing you're right about a little miscommunication. Regardless, not a huge deal, was just a little confused. Other than that, this sailing has been wonderful! What a ship!
  8. Aah I see. I figured there were other kosher options across the menus, but I will admit I am quite ignorant of Jewish customs so that contributes to my confusion; however that makes sense. Thanks for the reply! I do wish they wouldn't shut an entire ship out of a restaraunt option in a case like this, but I can see how it just makes logistical sense!
  9. My friends and I had been excited to eat at the Solarium Bistro on the wonder, but a couple days out from our sailing date the reservation was cancelled and we were told the Solarium Bistro was only open for special events. That was a major bummer since food is one of my favorite parts of vacations in general, so I was really looking forward to it. To be perfectly transparent we were compensated $25 per person, but that doesn't really make up for our plans just being cancelled at the last minute... I though that maybe it was a maintenance thing or something, but I noticed there is a specific group of people eating in there every day. Which seemed weird to me. Was our reservation cancelled after this group of people bought out the restaurant or something? It hardly seems fair to have a group of people overwrite other peoples preexisting reservations. I feel like there should be days set aside for large groups, but there should also be days open for other cruisers to make reservations and try it out. It isn't the end of the world, it just seems a little unfair and definitely leaves a bad taste in my mouth... Has anyone else ran into a situation like this before?
