I've done one other solo cruise. it was great! Met great people at dinner. And you have total freedom to do what ever you want. There was a meet up for solos to do excursions, I went to meet but no one showed up lol. So I went and did snorkeling solo. But it was fun.

Tink Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 FYI...It has been gnawing at me that I had to pay full price for all these latest excursions. I feel that since it was no fault of our own that our itinerary changed 3 times and the last one at such a late date, that we get scooched out of any discounts. I had pretty decent ones on my originals for Labadee because I had planned them so long ago. So tonight I wrote them about it. Let's see if they respond.

I would check the prices as well once we are on the ship. From what I saw on the main blog is that the prices on ship are pretty good right due to reduced capacity. With that being said I ended up booking the Beach Club pass for my wife and I since everyone is saying that the current price of $79 per a person is a really good deal. Since they keep adding more people on each sailing I expect that my March cruise back to Perfect Day will be at full capacity the price for the Beach Club pass will be back up around $150 or more per a person. I hate to go to the Beach Club on my first visit for most likely we will be at the club and not really see what the island has to offer or we will end up exploring the island and not spending much time at the club.

Savannah is a great city to visit. I went there about 3 years or so ago and really had a great time but then it is hard not to have a good time when the city does not have a open container law. My wife and I want to get back there for another visit one of these days for a quick weekend get away since we live in Atlanta. thehungrymuppet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zobel Cruiser Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Has anyone used the Optum at home covid testing for any other sailings? Thinking of trying it out this time! thehungrymuppet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me cheap but the cost of the kit is more than what I would spend in gas to get to CVS. PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuskenr8r Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 I read that you should make reservations for the shows on board but I don't see an option to do that yet. This is my first sailing on the huge ships like Oasis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first day of our sailing you will then see the shows within the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmiC110121 Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 2 weeks y'all! I'm totally distracted at work thinking of warmer weather and all the fun to be had! Tuskenr8r and PPPJJ-GCVAB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmiC110121 Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Checked the RC website for current prices on our sailing. I called and got a nice chunk of onboard credit. Gotta decide what to spend it on. Also told them it was my honeymoon. They said they would "make note and have something special for us". Idk what that means, but I'll take it!

PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted October 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 I checked too but my price is still much lower than today's pricing...even when factoring in the OBC offer. Glad you were able to lower yours . BTW...Happy Wedding! My 42nd anniversary is Nov 3rd (reason why I booked this cruise)...I wish you as many and more years of happiness!!

We ordered a bunch extra, and I am going to do one in around a week or so (I was just in Chicago for work so I want to ensure my test will negative). I can post a review then.

thehungrymuppet Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 Is everybody getting excited? 11 days out!! @Matt featured a listener review of the Oasis on the Royal Caribbean Blog Podcast recently with some good info about the ship! The review has some info that won’t apply to our sailing, I.e., port info and excursions, but if you’re in Full Vacation Hype Mode like me, it’s fabulous.

PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted October 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 So Oasis begins her final sailing from Cape Liberty tomorrow (24th) and returns on the 31st. I assume she then takes her time to cruise to Miami with no paying passengers. Our cruise is the first one from Miami. Sooooo do you think we might be able to have our rooms ready for us at check in? That would be awesome, right? What are your thoughts…super excited at this point!!!! EmmiC110121 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
