But now he says it might happen at any time 1 hour ago, Jax said: Haha this made me laugh out loud. If you have ever had Shane as your genie you know how he reacts to any talk of eating in the WJ. His reaction is priceless. So when Shane saw D15 at lunch earlier he asked how her day was going. She said she grabbed breakfast in the WJ (cause my kids cannot wake up early enough for CK). I caught the look and thought of you right away! We all had good laugh. Then hubby asked Shane if he could reserve a table at the WJ. He said he certainly could but perhaps a delivery of WJ food would be more enjoyable PPPJJ-GCVAB, Cactus527, OCSC Mike and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted March 13 Author Report Share Posted March 13 Star class flowriding worked to our advantage this morning. You never know how these sessions turn out. Always unpredictable. Sometimes a ton of people show up and you only get one run. Sometimes no one shows up. Today, only Andrew, Owen, and Justin showed up at the start. They got some good runs in for the first 30mins until another family arrived. All together 5 riders for the last 30 mins. That is pretty decent. Hubby is working on better “carving” this sailing. I don’t even know if I spelt that correctly lol One thing I found interesting this morning is that no Genies showed up to this session. When I think back to all the SC sessions we have had since the restart, a genie has always met their guests at the FlowRider to get them set up etc. Now, for us it doesn’t really matter because Shane likely knows that Andrew, Owen, and Justin all have waivers signed and know their way around the FlowRider. But the other family that arrived around 9:30am, they probably could have used some assistance. We ended up having to help them out a bit. When I mentioned this to Shane later, he said that on Oasis, the sports staff runs the session. But the sports staff also wasn’t giving this family guidance either so…. sammy79, Cactus527, Jax and 9 others 9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted March 13 Author Report Share Posted March 13 After the SC session, I met up with Shane for another coffee at Starbucks. Then we headed off to Izumi for lunch. Izumi was yummy, a bit slow, but not a big deal cause it’s not like we have anywhere to go. SC food coma has finally set it. Everyone is stuffed, and napping Sweety, Neesa, OCSC Mike and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesszy94 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 I'm still waiting to get on an Oasis class one day.. here's hoping. In the meantime I'll just stick to Ovation since she's the only ship based in Sydney. Congratulations to your daughter? you? DH? on their graduation! Star Class looks amazing!

Jamesszy94 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 I'm eating breakfast in the WJ right now!! It's honestly not that bad when it's early and there's not many people. Lunch time is just ratchet and I avoid it like the plague! Alas. Maybe during the repo next year I'll book Star Class.. Speaking of genies... I think I saw one yesterday. I was lining up to see the Loyalty Ambassador and some guy dressed in a nice shirt, pants and a suit jacket was talking to a passenger and handed him what I assumed was a WOW band... interesting to see one in real life Speaking of speaking of genies - are they considered crew? I would assume so? PPPJJ-GCVAB, OCSC Mike and Cactus527 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not bad at all if you're there early. Same goes for embarkation day lunch. I'm usually there as soon as it opens and it's not remotely crowded. It takes time for people to board, wander, take care of certain things, figure out where everything is if they're new, etc. I'm not trying to convince others to go there; a lot of the time it is very crowded... just not always like some believe.

Yeah I like to go really early in the morning when they've just opened or at night around 8:00pm when everyone is getting ready to wind down. But I only go at night to get fruit and desert cause by 8 I'm already full from dinner in the MDR. OCSC Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t affect me as I was not going to get off the ship anyway. The kids are a bit disappointed because they got rained out the last Labadee day when we sailed OY for NYE. Hubby is somewhat relieved as he is a bit tired and sunburnt from PDCC and flowriding. So a day of rest is good for him. I am sure he will be back on the FlowRider tomorrow. Regardless, safety is most important. However, does anyone know if we get our port fees back?

Floski Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 I adore your Blogs, but I always feel like I've fallen into the Bougie Pit!! I just made Diamond on our last cruise so haven't even tasted it yet, but I'm like 98 3/4% sure I'll never get to sail in a suite, much less the one you guys are in.

asquared17 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 i feel like i’ve said this before on one of my oasis blogs, but — and i know the decision to abort mission on labadee was not solely based on the captain — the oasis captain is REALLY concerned about safety. in the BEST way. i also think it speaks to how happy so many of the crew are on board. i’m sure all the captains are super — but the oasis captain is really spectacular. i mean all the shenanigans he navigated with us — both trips — and now this. you are in good hands.

jbrinkm Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 What does the letter mean when it says you can use it for insurance? Will insurance give you money for missing a stop? Is it only the port fees, or more than that? We missed a stop at Costa Maya last year and Royal refunded our port fees so I didn't think anything of it.
