PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted December 28, 2023 Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 Sounds like a great cruise…since I still have not been able to get my FIRST group cruise planned…this sounds like a pretty good one for me! I think I might check with my MEI TA and see what options I have . AshleyDillo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the feedback I've heard the MEI rates are being the current online rates by quite a bit and are refundable, too!

And I bucked to peer pressure and booked the 2-day one ahead of it (because I could get the same room). Will I actually do the 2-night? Time will tell.

CowboyMedic Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Booked and my TA just responded that she's adding me to the cruise. We are looking at doing a B2B with the 7-Night Norwegian Fjords but haven't decided on that one yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 I was all set to book as the prices from Josh (at MEI) were amazing! Unfortunately, I was then reminded by a family member that we have a wedding to attend on Oct. 12, 2025! So….there goes that cruise plan…right out to sea ! Oh well…now I will just have to wait for the 2026 group cruise announcements! WAAAYTOOO and AshleyDillo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshleyDillo Posted May 23 Author Report Share Posted May 23 Got the green light to update the thread with the dates...it's still not on the Events page...but for those interested the cruise is: Oasis of the Seas out of Port of Miami ‐ Oct 5, 2025 - Oct 12, 2025 (7 Night Eastern Caribbean) Ports: St. Thomas, St. Thomas, and CocoCay. Contact MEI Travel for group rates! (There's also a 2 nighter right before that goes to CocoCay that a lot of folks are booking, so that's a little add-on to do a B2B..MEI likely has group rates for that one too but it won't be an official blog group cruise.)

TheoneandonlyMICAH Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 Well.. I was unaware of the 2 night sailing before this. I am reaching out to my MEI travel agent to see if my room I have booked for the Oct 5th is available to do a b2b sailing.

I was able to book the 2 night sailing in the same room I will be using on this 7 night group cruise. This will be a nice anniversary cruise as a back-to-back sailing.

Jill Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 Well as luck would have it, we are already booked on oasis on October 18, 2025. I always seem to just miss the group cruises. However, Aruba and curaçao will be a nice change. Also just missed the fjords, but I’m booked on Apex anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoneandonlyMICAH Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 So dumb question.... with a back to back cruise, I know how to do the check-in for cruise number 1. But will I need to do the check in on cruise number two? Im sure the checkk in time does not mean much, but wanted to know about all the information like adding the passport info and adding a credit card for the onboard account.

I have always done the check-in for the second leg of a B2B just to be sure that they realize i will be there, if for no other reason ! Of course, you don't have to worry about what check-in time you get so no need to wait up until the wee hours of the morning (not that check-in times are of any real value anyway).

We have a grandsuite for these sailings so it wont really matter the check in time. My only concern for theses is the parking next to terminal 18. Previous sailings on Oasis out of Port Everglades we used off site parking. However, dont want the hassle in "my old age" of loading my luggage onto a shuttle bus then wait to get to my car. I am hoping the parking in lot C is pretty easy. Happy 4th everyone! WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely this will be a casino comp cruise so I may us an instance certificate in October or December to book it. Snotarni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
