FionaMG Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 We are sailing the same day as you, but on Harmony out of Barcelona, and share your nervousness. Here's hoping we both get smooth sailing and a great cruise. Fingers, legs and eyes crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising With JT Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 I am onboard the week before, will make sure to keep it nice and clean for you Oasis cruises are a go as of now as they got approved for sailing from the CDC last I heard. It is scary not knowing what a month will look like but just hope for the best. Overstim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will just have mask requirements indoors and the Covid test prior; unless delta plateaus and we get lucky. (Or 95%+ on board are vaccinated and they loosen up on masks, or since it's leaving from NJ which is doing decent on vaccinations they give us a break) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyLaLaX2 Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 We are onboard Sept 26th cruise as well!! Really looking forward to Oasis. Have not been on Oasis since the amplification/update. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianB Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 I’m on this cruise, too. It’s the second half of a back to back. Still waiting for check in to become available on both. However, check in opened this morning on the Anthem from Bayonne sailing Nov 7th…90 days out…Anthem’s first scheduled sailing from NJ. I did receive RoyalUp offers for the Sept cruises on Oasis, so that’s a good sign that they’re still on schedule. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oasis does not have it yet, test sailing is in a couple of weeks. Hopefully once the ship returns and receives the CSO they will open check in !

BrianB Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Anthem is sailing paying cruises in the UK. And there have also been posts where people have been able to check in prior to their ship completing US test sailings and getting their CSO. So it seems, like most things during this time of constant change, that anything can happen at anytime. Keeping my fingers crossed that sailing really is coming back full steam ahead!

wozswoman Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 My mother is from Bayonne/Cape Liberty and we will be there for her 50th HS reunion at the end of Sept. We decided to hop on Oasis on the 26th so you won't be alone. 14th deck oceanview with larger balcony. Double check prices! We booked at the beginning of July and I looked a few days ago under the WOW sale and we received a $314 OBC because of the price lowering!

Pattycruise Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Just booked Oasis for this sailing! I'm going as a solo traveler leaving hubby and the "kids" ( last going off to college tomorrow!) behind. I just traveled on Adventure this past August 7-14 with the whole family and I can't wait to do the Oasis sailing out of Bayonne. If this goes fairly smooth and I can "relax" as a solo cruiser I will book a few more, to get my C&A points to the next level. Can't wait to sail! I'll be in a Boardwalk Balcony. Lot's of empty Boardwalk Balconies on this ship so far! Chadster and BrianB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattycruise Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 Got the email about now being required to test within 2 days prior to sailing. Good News: The Cruise planner has a sale on the beach club at CocoCay. I've been to CocoCay and have not spent "that kind of money" for the Beach Club when the rest of the island is as nice. However at $79 I'm going to treat myself and see how the other half lives. I could not book this on my phone-I tried multiple times this morning, so I tried on my computer and voila-purchased!

Me too! The cruise planner showed it at $79…usually it’s around $160…but it kept showing unavailable when I tried to add it to my cart. I tried my phone app…same thing. Computer…ditto. So I logged off and on and then I was able to get it. Great price for a special place. The food alone makes it well worth the admission.

Pattycruise Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 Here is an interesting item you can purchase in the Cruise Planner under Internet and More. Learn to Play Casino Table Games $25 Attend one of their classes (on my previous cruise it was only offered first night and second day) and you will get $25 in casino chips or in slot play AND you get 2 vouchers to use at the Casino Bar-well drinks. We had 4 of us do this, 2 had the drink packages-so they gave us their drink vouchers. (on Adventure of the Seas it was actual small slips of paper and you hand them to the casino bar tender-they were baffled about what this was!)

I saw this on the cruise planner…but it says only for Blackjack, Roulette, three card and Texas hold ‘em…I would do it if Craps was one of the options. Do you know if craps was offered on board? Also, it’s says $25 in ‘promotional’ chips. I assume they have real value as the other option is $25 free slot play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It Is Real value on the chips, they are marked differently so you can’t just turn them back in for cash. Just play them, when you win, keep playing them til gone. The dealer was good about reminding me to put up my promotional chips before using my winnings. craps was offered onboard. Idk if they had anyone standing there during instruction time. the cashier at the window never asked what table we sat at, when we had asked “how does this work” she seemed annoyed -lol-and said “go learn to play something and come back”. There was no accountability except that it did have to be done during “learn how to play” casino time in the cruise compass. I wonder if you asked the floor manager to learn craps if they would send someone over. BrianB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, I’ll just get the slot play. *The casino is the only place on board where I find, shall we say…some less-than-enthusiastic employees. Maybe it’s just a casino thing. Probably due to always dealing (pun intended) with disgruntled players obsessed with losing. Management and cashiers are usually from the same mold. That said…I still find really happy, cheerful dealers who don’t let complainers bother them. Thanks, again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
