    What was disappointing about it? I'm taking my family on Oasis in April.... my first cruise, and I'm starting to freak out a little bit!

    I'm glad to learn that your problem has been solved! As far as Park Cafe versus Windjammer.... why not both? :D

    I'm sorry you had a bad time on Oasis! I'm taking my family on her in a month, I hope they work out whatever the problems are! I can understand an IT issue, what I can't understand is poor service.

    Would disclosing the name of this other line be against the board's rules? If not, why not spill the beans?

    Thanks again! I just submitted the form on Royal's website. That's one less thing for my wife an I to worry about! CPAP Luggage Bathing suits for daughter Find something to do in Falmouth Avoid breaking neck on Flowrider

    Thanks for the information!

    My wife uses a CPAP machine that requires distilled water to humidify its output. Does anyone know if distilled water is available on board ship? I assume if there isn't that we can bring a bottle on board.... I just hope there's a CVS within walking distance of the port...

    CRAP! I hope they can expedite your passport!

    First off, I hope you enjoyed your cruise! Did you use the wifi service? If so, how were the speeds?

    Uggg..... Such a silly rule. What is I wanted to bring protein bars or some such? We're spending a lot of money on these cruises, why should we be treated like school children?

    We're cruising aboard Oasis in April... and I'm sorely tempted to sign up for the tour. But good lord, it's expensive... maybe I'm better off blowing that money at the casino... :D

    Favorite restaurant on board? Favorite port of call? The one thing you liked least or actually didn't like?

    It doesn't chase the snow away, but it will make shoveling Sunday's snow fall just a little easier...

    Today I printed our SetSail passes and a couple of baggage tags... Maybe a little premature for an April sailing, but with my lawn covered in a few feet of "White Fescue" (with more on the way) I figured what better way to chase away winter? I do admit to some barely controlled giggling as the documents exited the printer... The SetSail pass did raise one question: There are options to let Royal Caribbean convert on board charges to my card's currency, or let my card issuer convert. Stupid question time - are on board charges made in USD or another currency?

    Does anyone have experience with the Crowne Plaza Airport/Cruiseport hotel? I booked it months ago for our April 2015 cruise on Oasis, but now I'm second guessing myself...

    We're sailing on Oasis in April... I had planned on visiting the 'secret' balconies. I was so disappointed when I found out that they are now staterooms! Good for the people booking those rooms, though!

    I hope you enjoyed your cruise! What did you think of the Windjammer? A coworker just returned from a cruise aboard Adventure of the Seas and was pleasantly surprised by the level of service by the staff at the buffet.

    Heh.... it's more important that your cruise ends the way you want it to! Enjoy!

    A massively informative post! I agree - it does deserve promotion to the main blog!

    It would appear that Dynamic Dining is the "New Coke" of the cruise industry.

    I guess the real question is "Are you feeling lucky?" Even in this great future there are so many variables to account for in travel that I think arriving the day before is the way to go. Save the pulse pounding excitement for an adventure excursion. Before we were married my wife missed a cruise because of unexpected travel problems. To this day she gets that lower lip tremble when she thinks of all of those calls to Carnival and being put on hold - only to hear Kathy Lee Gifford sing "Ain't we got fun!". All that said, I know people do it - some have no choice in the matter, it's what their schedules dictate. Whatever choice you make, I hope your journey to the port is calm and uneventful, and that you have an awesome cruise.

    As I was snow blowing and shoveling yesterday I was saying "77 more days... just 77 more days". We booked excursions for Labadee and Cozumel last night as a way of warding off winter. Apparently that didn't work too well...

    I was going to click "Like" on your post - but apparently I've reached my daily limit of exuberance and must either curb my enthusiasm, or come back tomorrow! And I've come across cashiers in the US who don't think two dollar bills are legal, too!
  24. markinct
    There, I fixed it for you..... ;-) I like the idea of tipping with 2 dollar bills!

    Does that ice tea category include "southern style" sweet tea?
