  1. For anyone wondering, I completed the process for the return of my Vuori hoodie today. We decided to ship it to our U.S. mailbox for several reasons. The main one was that the link Royal sent me only accepts US addresses. If I want it shipped internationally, I would have to wait for another email from Royal, and who knows how long that will take. So with that in mind, domestic shipping for a single hoodie came to $47.86. Lesson learned. I need to do a better final sweep next time, or book a smaller cabin so that things don’t hide as well
  2. They collected the Effy charms. Not the Diamond International ones. I imagine it's the same idea though. They would have to attend each talk/seminar and they would not give it out until the very end.
  3. It's snowing lightly here where I am in Canada right now. I'll take the warm weather in a heartbeat.
  4. Umm...something doesn't sound right here... Shouldn't you be eating a pre-breakfast, before the breakfast/brunch?
  5. Yikes. Thanks for the heads up. I want to use the FCC for my Europe sailing this July. But final is coming up next month for that so it doesn't leave me much time. After that sailing, I am not sure when the next one is with all 4 of us and that FCC is only good for 1 year. I will forever be picturing the business card! lol
  6. That is my assumption too. Thank goodness it's not a shady math booking lmao Problem is, I was actually told I had to leave the ship! thank you for following along!
  7. I’m supportive, but not crazy! He was out there on his own for most of the time lol That about sums up my feelings for the next few months ahead. We did. The letter was very non-specific. It said because of “inconveniences while sailing this week”. But I will gladly take it! Let’s see what they actually send.
  8. He’s like the king of eating! I would not expect anything less lol
  9. Yours truly…me lol I already had a long sleeve on this morning and I was planning to throw it into my bag for the plane and for when we get back to Detroit. But I totally forgot about it and realized once we were waiting for Lyft that I had left it. I messaged Shane right away and he located it. We’ll see how this return process goes. First time for everything
  10. In case anyone is wondering what happens if you leave something on board
  11. Yes, we are grateful they still want to hang out with the old people lol. And I most definitely have raised two readers. While waiting for our plane right now…
  12. Thank you! We are going into dry dock. Tis the season for prom & graduation festivities. That will keep us on land until July.
  13. That’s a wrap for us. The end of an era for our family and our March Break sailings as 4. I will leave you all with a few pics. Our very first March Break sailing on Anthem of the seas. Our very first star class March break sailing back in 2019. Our last March break sailing this week as a family of 4.
  14. No, I was perfectly happy on Oasis this week and did not miss Icon at any point other than the elevators. Every time I used the elevator, I thought of Icon lol
  15. Our Genie Shane We have known Shane since 2019 so there was already some familiarity here. However, we have learned this week that knowing Shane, and having him as our Genie are two different things. There are Genies, and then there is Shane. That is the best way I can describe our experience with him. We have never had terrible genie in any of our sailings, but Shane stands out not because of the grandiose gestures, but the small little things all throughout the week. Those small little things, add up to reflect a Genie who adores his job, genuinely listens to his guests, and takes time to build a relationship with them. This is why people adore Shane. Any genie can send food, decorate, and throw a party, but very few will become unforgettable because their thoughtful small gestures truly show that their guests, and their satisfaction, are their number one priority. This is Shane. He is all that, and more, a truly unique Genie.
  16. Final thoughts on the Royal Loft Suite: I don’t know how I am going to come back from this cabin. But I will have to find a way to. We cherished our time in our room this week. The hot tub was used every day, we spent time on the balcony every day. It was so awesome to have all the space, most times I would shout something to the kids and they would not even hear me. There was almost too much space in that room, but that is not a complaint lol I loved everything about that suite, but if I was to point out two things that I did not like, it would be the noise from the back sports area, and the master shower. You can hear everything from the basketball area, FlowRider, even Aqua80 if you are out on the balcony. This room has pretty much helped us decide that that we would never want a crown loft that faces the aft. Way too much noise. The master shower area is not that private. When we were parked next to Carnival Mardi Gras in Nassau, I really felt like I had to duck because the upper decks of that ship are almost as high as oasis. Next to Freedom in PDCC I did not feel as visible. However, if one is in the shower at night, and someone else is in the hot tub, well let’s just say they will most definitely get a very well lit shadow puppet show if you are using the shower closest to the window.
  17. Final thoughts on this sailing overall: There were a ton of kids this week, but expected because it’s spring break. Some kids were parented well, some not so much. The elevators were slow and stuffy all week. Not sure if that is because our last sailing was Icon and we were totally spoiled by those destination elevators. Overall, service was excellent, and food was pretty decent throughout. Oasis is showing its age in some areas, but not unexpected. Rumour has it that they will be refreshing some guest areas and cabins during dry dock. Time will tell.
  18. Left Deck 17 at 8:10am. On the curb by 8:25am. Our Lyft that we ordered was cancelled but thank goodness it only took 5 mins to grab another. Lines were long at MIA but we made it to our gate by 9:40am.
