Just returned from the western Caribbean and saw that there was an Oasis -class enclosed life boat moored across from the berth of Oasis at Port Everglades.  Wondering if this might the craft involved in the accident on Harmony and set to be re-united with the mother ship.  Due to the distance, I couldn't read the markings on the craft, but saw that it was numbered 13.  Is Harmony scheduled to dock Port Everglades when she arrives in November?

Hello folks.  Just want to confirm that the charge for specialty restaurants aboard Oasis includes the 18% gratuity.  If I wish to include more, I just add the desired amount rather than add 18% plus extra.  Thanks for your help.

After taking a few deep breaths, I just paid the first semester college tuition for our youngest daughter, and she moves in on Monday.   It could have been Gold to Diamond in a year (just kidding), but really, I can't think of a better use of the funds.  We're empty-nesters now, and I'm not sure the better half is really happy about that.  She's not sure what she'll do,... and that's why I booked a week on Oasis this Fall.  The plan is to inform her about the cruise next Tuesday.... ;)

Congrats!!  And be sure to post a video of you doing the Diamond Dance.  I've never seen that before.
 
My guess is that the Premium package is a prerequisite for doing it properly...  ;)

When I encountered a previous worldwide shortage of banana daiquiri mix, I just went here:

They have everything....   Voila!!  One liter bottle for only $17.50.  Or from $11.50 used...  :rolleyes:

IMO, it's not really a feasible option to go with an entire fleet of mega-ships.  Many ports simply can't accommodate ships of that size.  And can you imagine trying to tender 6400 passengers off to stand in line at the chair lift at Santorini, or any port that requires tendering?  I hope not...
 
Like many old buildings, at some point it becomes more cost efficient to tear them down and build anew, rather than renovate.  Maybe the next RCI order for new ships will not be for another Quantum or Oasis, but a state-of-the-art smaller ship. 

OK, a dumb question... What is a Labadoozie (Coco Loco)?  A rum drink, I presume, but ingredients?

From one Newbie to another, welcome aboard!

As someone relatively new to cruising, this has been an interesting thread.  My take home story is that the MDR dress code appears to be clearly stated online and in other RCCL literature but the policy seems to be unevenly enforced, at least with regards to wearing shorts.  But at the other end of the spectrum it seems that on any RCCL ship, formal nights do not require true formal wear and anything from business casual and up is acceptable.  Is that a fair assessment?
