Did this app ever become available for use on Allure??

Sounds to me like pricing of individual drinks on board will go up in price 9/6 if the beverage packages are increasing - what do you think???

While Periscope is heavily compressed, I'm guessing you'd need the Surf and Stream package to both broadcast and to watch it.  The same would be true for Skype, FaceTime, etc.  If you're just texting, doing non-video social media, etc., you're fine with the basic service.

 

Perfect -- that is what I thought but wanted to be sure before I told my friends going with me.  Thanks!

I know the surf n stream is needed for Periscope posting -- what if someone on the ship wants to just watch Periscope and not post - do they need the stream package too? (I assume so but want to be sure).

 

What is someone just wants to text home and check email? Just the 'vanilla' version of Voom?

 

Thanks!

 

I did read elsewhere about the Oasis class...... I even specifically asked her that question and she acted like I was crazy! I just thanked her and got outta that convo..... arrrrggggg

Thanks!  

 

I also decided to call and ask about the smoothies and Starbucks coffees on Allure -- she said she did not know the 'price cap' for a premium coffee but if one at Starbucks was more costly they just charge the difference (+ gratutity, of course!) and the same with all other drinks in the packages. The Vitality Spa smoothies are also included and as you said....JR shakes are not..... did not figure they would be but does not hurt to be pre-warned!

I assume that the shakes in Johnny Rockets are NOT part of a beverage package?  What about smoothies in the Vitality (spa/gym area) ???

 

Also assuming (that can get me into trouble sometimes!) that non-alcohol cocktails are included even in the alcohol packages -- sometimes I want one without the alcohol!

 

Thanks for any help as I see they are on sale for my Allure trip in the fall.

Wondering if you can tell me what the main entree is for each of the formal nights on Allure?

 

Mainly my question is when the prime rib and lobster are served!  :D

 

We were on the Oasis and just thought the menu was so so on the first formal night -- it was actually 'forgettable' - but we DID enjoy the 2nd formal menu of prime rib and lobster.... so for sure do not want to have a specialty dining on that night! 

 

Thanks for any direction.

 

Edited:

 

Found the answer on Cruise Critic -- yep, I can skip first formal without worries -- it is the 'Saffron' menu

We did not make it to Solarium on the Oasis to eat at night but did enjoy free day time eating.  I saw photos of the Hot Pot and would like to try that on the Allure this fall -- has anyone here eaten there? What did you think? It looks fun.

Thank you -- guess they will have to call -- just is not right!  :(

 

Wondering if I messed up my cabin mates?

 

I booked a flight thru air2sea -- and when they sign into their personal account they do not have the link to do a search or to book.

 

Is there somewhere else on the site they can search for flights? I've looked but am not finding it.   :(

 

Thanks for any help!

I am just off the Oasis -- had a wonderful ocean view balcony - -thinking of a Harmony cruise and wondered about the best location to be ABOVE the tree line for best views of Central Park -- what range of cabin numbers or category of CP balcony should i consider?  

 

I noticed on Matt's videos this past week he was in a deck 12 with great views - mind telling us which one exactly or at least about where it was located? Location is so important for a great cruise experience.  :)

 

Thanks!

Hi there, 

We are heading on Oasis this coming Saturday as well, small world!

I can answer some of your questions, but not all.

1.  Embarkation is on Deck 5 onto the Royal Promenade.  Go up to deck 8 FWD for Central Park and Giovani's.  You can also the AFT elevators, but you will be at the Chops end of Central Park.  It is an easy walk through the park if you use the AFT elevators.

2.  Yes, there are laundry packages available for a fee.  Details will be in your stateroom.

3.  Small Wonders are great, I make it a mission to find as many as I can.  I have never seen a list, can you share yours?

4. I think I have seen the computers for boarding passes on Deck 5, but don't quote me.  We usually get an internet package so we don't worry and print our passes at the internet cafe on board.

5.  We usually go directly from the ship to the airport.  It makes for a long day there, but we prefer the piece of mind and the people watching is usually good.

 

Happy cruising!

 

Thank you so much for the answers to my questions! I am sure we will see you on board!  LOL  Remember you can ask at Desk Services for more info on the Small Wonders.

 

I don't have the list written on my computer - but here is a comment in the artlcle link  posted by Matt in the above response:

Hi all,

We will be heading out on the Oasis Saturday  :D

 

I am curious about a couple of things and wondered if any of you might offer some answers:

 

1- What deck and where do we embark?  (want to head to GTable for lunch -- looking at deck plans I am not sure.... of course I can ask when we board.....)

 

2- Laundry packages?  Anyone know if we can send out a load mid week?

 

3- Small Wonders -- I've read about these and copied a list off another blog - some say we can get a list from the front desk - curious if they are still there -- and what is the history behind these?  Kinda reminds me of 'hidden Mickeys' at WDW

 

4 -Someone Periscoped a week or so ago from a deck that had computers for folks to print out their flight boarding passes for no charge.... said there was no sign on the door but Guest Services sent them there -- do you know where this is? deck 7 or maybe 4 is in my head???

 

5- Do most folks go to the airport straight from ship? Our flight leaves at 3:30 -- makes for a long day at the airport! The only excursions I found were to Miami or to the Everglades.... neither are options for us.

 

 

Thanks!

I plan to Periscope on Oasis 2/20/16 and some in FLL a couple of days prior to that, if possible.

 

I am trying to get a handle on using Periscope as I am new at it.  I put my phone into airplane mode and turn on the Wifi and it will work fine....right?

PS - thanks to all of you who have been recently scoping -- I have loved watching all of the videos and learning how to do it!
