tonyfsu21 Posted December 25, 2021 Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 Anyone getting on Oasis tomorrow 12/26 for the Holiday sailing what are your thoughts going into this? We all have are negative results on hand and we’re ready to get on the ship! So far, we received the 2 hr delay email and I’ve been reading about the new mask protocols (no big deal). Being in SoFL the talk of the town is Odyssey & Symphony so hopefully Oasis stays out of the news! Baked Alaska 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfsu21 Posted December 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 To add to the above, do you think Oasis will be at or close to capacity for 12/26 sailing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordell1 Posted December 25, 2021 Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 I'm sure there will be a lot of people who cancel because of a combination of failed tests, perceived increased risk of getting covid, and or more restrictive protocols. I'd be shocked if it were anywhere near full capacity. Have a great trip! Sweety, tonyfsu21, WAAAYTOOO and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted December 25, 2021 Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 We are currently on Oasis and the revised mask protocols were mostly unnoticeable. Some onboard feel that Royal should enforce protocols better (example being elevators are limited to 6 but that is rarely followed) while others are content with the way they are being enforced. Our experience was this: as long as we had a drink in the venues we were fine without masks. We were never asked to put them on in those instances. Many wore masks while just as many didn’t. I feel Royal has done a good job of focusing on the guest experience rather than mask enforcement. There is a general tightening of protocols since we boarded. Genies and others wearing N95 masks under their Royal masks, increased sanitizing of high traffic touch points particularly the casino. Protocols really didn’t impact our experience.

Genies, all CK staff and the loft attendants. That was a change from when we first boarded. tonyfsu21, Jax and MamaShark 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deep1 Posted December 26, 2021 Report Share Posted December 26, 2021 I'm not on Tomorrow... The week after next ... I don't have a crystal ball or even an 8 ball like Matt. What I do have is an ability to read then filter out the bravo sierra and extract the real info I need. I don't trust most press any farther than I can throw them, Gas station sushi is a more trustworthy than most press. I'm seeing a whole lot of them going out of ther way to distort and make thimgs look bad... They tell you "OMG! 50 cases!" The reality is 99.3% are just fine. The 50 aren't "Cases" they are positiive tests and if you read closer the CDC even found most of them symptom free with a couple milds in the mix. So from a standpoint of worrying aboutCOVID itself I am not going to get uptight in the least. Next we look at the ports. I see quite a bit of "They denied entry"... The assumption is that its the ships fault? I looked up a few of the cancellations in detail and it turns out that its the cruise lines choosing not to dock because of outbreaks in the ports themselves! So I see the cruise industry as a whole really working hard to keep you protected. They are doing so a great cost. One of the sailings was 50% FCC + 2 days OBC refundable to cash. Thats 3/4 of the costs effectively returned and the people aboard still got a world class boat ride. I for one am just not gonna sweat anything . Especially since I have no control over any of it... PS: I think it will be less full than it was a week ago... Lot of people bailing, espescially those from out of country... tonyfsu21, BrianB, AshleyDillo and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baked Alaska Posted December 26, 2021 Report Share Posted December 26, 2021 I'm on tomorrow and can't wait!! I just may have a tear in my eye. Dulis, tonyfsu21, WAAAYTOOO and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfsu21 Posted December 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2021 This will be our 4th cruise after the re-start and I don’t have any reason at all to feel unsafe. RC has done a great job! The more people that cancel the better because there’s absolutely nothing like sailing at a lower capacity on an Oasis class ship! Can’t wait.
