How on earth can that act be performed on the pool deck?? It has to be late at night; real late! Unless I've mis-read and you're talking about a Bacardi and Juice or some such.

At home we stay up late on Fri/Sat and love to sleep in. But when I'm on a cruise, I hate to miss out on anything, so I try to get up as early as possible. The helo pad is a great place to be when it's real early.

Always having to deal with the olds... ...looks in mirror....gulp. :(

Just announced - they will bring you a bottle of selected liquors and 4 cans of soda to your room: I just looked at a couple of websites and a 375ml bottle of Bacardi Gold is $5.49 - $8.99.

Alcoholic beverages will be delivered after sailing in the state of Texas. *Please allow 48 hours for delivery once an order is placed/completed. *Must be 21 & over.

On my cherry-busting first cruise on Freedom in '15, there was a moment when I realized that it simply can't get better than this - no driving, no feeding the animals, no getting up in the dark to go to work, no fretting over what to have for dinner....it was like a zen moment. People were nice to me, and in this day and age, it meant a lot. Best vacation of my life.

I know that on Freedom, Sabor is a very nice, quiet restaurant located next to the Schooner Bar. On Oasis, it appears to be much more open and lively, kinda like a "cantina". I can't wait to try it.

Now I'm really excited about January!!! I hope it won't be too cool (weather-wise).

Just signed up for Oasis on Jan 21, 2018 to Labadee, Falmouth, and Cozumel. Stoked!

I just booked our third cruise on Oasis in January, and I swear, I feel like a first-time newbie!!! Please drive safely tonight, and have a wonderful cruise!

Wow - so much for cushion! I hope y'all have a fantabulous time!!!! Be safe!

Bump to the top in the hopes of some more replies. I'm very interested in this excursion as well!

If you're driving from Tennessee, make sure you give plenty of cushion time for any delays, especially if I-95 is involved! I'm stoked for you!!! Freedom is a fabulous ship!

Sorry, jl. It's my birthday week and I wanted to really enjoy myself and my dozen or so friends...

Thanks, y'all. These are the types of comments that I'm looking for.

I think I have a good date for our next cruise, provided it's good with whoever else wants to go. Jan 13/14 '18. The only two ships to consider that are leaving Canaveral are the Oasis and Epic. When I do a side-by-side comparison for a balcony room, the total is only about $20. However, Epic has free drink packages and 3 specialty restaurant dinners at no charge. So, y'all, sell me either way. I'm leaning toward Epic, but hate to miss a chance to sail Oasis (not to mention I really love RCCL). Thanks...I'll hang up and listen.

My wife uses her CPaP thingie every night, but when we cruised the last two years she didn't bring it. Slept like a baby.

I really need to work on my comic delivery... B)

What about hot tubs? Seems as dangerous as the pools, considering the heat of the water. Mix that with drinking alcohol and it could get dicey. Perhaps I should apply for one of these jobs. As small as the pools are, I wouldn't have to swim much - just be buoyant. And I'm definitely that!

I guess I can understand having them at the big pool(s), but the Solarium?? I'd rather have an extra waiter!

Nobody likes a braggart. :angry:

Money is always a concern for us, so for our two cruises on Freedom, both times we stayed in an inside, promenade room. I liked it, but was envious of those on the outside, and I wasn't thrilled with squeezing my fat arse into that shower. Then I saw some 'scopes of the balconies and suites and was blown away. So, I have my heart and mind set on a balcony room next time. I've convinced myself that it'll be worth it!

Haven't pulled the trigger yet, Grandma. UC is right, though - it's a cruise, so it'll be awesome!

So, much to my chagrin, my wife isn't too keen on going back to the islands this year. :angry: So, an alternative is that we go up to New England and Nova Scotia. I figure we would leave out of Port Liberty. Have any of y'all done this one? It's 9 nights on Anthem, so that will be cool. And September should be nice. RCCL currently has a nice discount of an Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony for outside pricing - basically, for two of us, we get $1145 off, resulting in a cost of $3081. I think that's a pretty good deal. I only have 57 hours to make up my mind. Might just do it. Suggestions? Recommendations?

Have fun tomorrow!!! This is your last chance to invite me along......
