The Diamond Lounges on the Oasis Class are the best in the fleet in my opinion. Enjoy!

I will have the UP next month, but I will definitely make it a point to ask about pricing for nonalcoholic cocktails. If anything, I would have thought drink pricing on my summer cruise would have been more. As it is, my UP for September is $5/day cheaper than it was for my June sailing.

That would be my thought as well. No floater. I just doubt they have gone up to $9.50 in the course of two months.

I think that was what the original post was implying by stating "a special cup...is not included." Also, trips to the bar would still be necessary in order to avoid being charged repeatedly for these highly sought after souvenirs. :rolleyes: I agree, that the souvenir cups are not pushed heavily while on the ship, but I think the "buyer beware" comes into play on the private islands. I have never seen Coco Locos or Labadoozies come around in anything other than an eye catching yellow or blue thermos. Now, if only Royal started selling them in branded YETI tumblers.

The $7.95 image above was from my June 16, 2016 cruise on the Anthem. Less than 2 months ago. I didn't actually ever purchase the drink of the day so I cannot confirm or deny the advertised pricing. I will be on the Anthem next month and will now pay closer attention.

[ Yes, Matt I used the blog's photo.

I got a good chuckle from seeing the Owner's Suite showcased with the Party City Bon Voyage decorations as well as presenting images of a Grand Suite and a Junior Suite when talking about "mid-size" and "interior" cabins.

I agree, original air date was May 2013, which is right when I think Brilliance was getting upgrades. So no way they filmed post refurb.

Woot!

Eh...if your clients are local just tell them to grab a premo parking spot on the top deck of the port garage. A beach chair from CVS, a six pack and presto...will feel just like the sun deck! :D

I thought gym is just a guy's name in your world! ;)

Matt - The below is a snip from my Anthem June 16th Day 2 Cruise Compass. Apparently, the various bars will have different drinks of the day so I presume that is why it is not published on the Anthem in the Compass.

They were still $12 per class on Anthem in June and there was no option to buy a package for the four or five sessions they offered on the 9 night itinerary. Great addition to your normal workout routine given all the extra calorie consumption.

Royal does have the Royal IQ App that contains a intraship texting and voice calling feature for passengers that purchase the plan ($7.95 per person for the length of the cruise). However, this is currently only available on the Quantum class and the Harmony. Hopefully, they will expand the program now that Voom has become standard across the fleet. I realize this doesn't help you for your Oasis sailing. Here is a link for some more information if it interests you. https://secure.royalcaribbean.com/royaliq
