GatorCruiser Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Quotes I saw were 450k-5 million. Depending on size and features. Imagine the quality family time you could spend. Might mean less cruises though. Cactus527 and Lovetocruise2002 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAAAYTOOO Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 I spotted my beloved chicken picatta in the Gio pix. So agree about Cats. I managed to get Dan to sit through the entire production exactly ONCE. I also feel bad for the performers. It's not like THEY are doing a bad job...it's just a show that has come and gone and they need to make it go AWAY. Fat chance that will happen any time soon with the penny pinching at the moment. I guess Aqua80s makes up for Cats. Sweety, DDaley, MamaShark and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know we have been to Giovanni’s so many times and none of us have ever tried it. Last night Hubby tried it because he wanted something other than red meat and it was delicious! We all had one bite and we changed our reservation from Chops to go back to Giovanni’s to have that!

Ampurp85 Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 My brother loves the chicken picatta from GT. Also they have the best minestrone soup. But we sat through Cats on our Oasis sailing. So many people left, as is their right, but it not a good show. 90min is even too long, and I am a cat mama. So I actually love cats but the musical is a mess.

GT has always been our one go to specialty and we've never tried Chops b/c the filet was always good at GT and I like that I can get a steak plus a pasta dish (usually carbonara). You know we're waiting to try Kitchen on Wonder but for whatever reason I've never seen anyone mention the filet there.

SMOKEY0202 Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 How the week just flew by so fast and as usual another great blog filled with great memories and surprises A week in this type of suite how could you ever think of booking anything else but this type of suite all the time. It's pure heaven and no need to leave cabin at all. Any word on how many kids and capacity this week?

Again, apologies for the quality of the photos. We took them from videos. @recogneyes’s Hubby was warned by Andrew that he might show up on social media. He asked what we would call him. I told him we would call him @recogneyes’s Hubby I think it’s great that in a matter of an hour you and Justin went from not really being pub people to doing Irish car bombs and tequila shots in the pub!

SweetPea Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 A week is definitely too short. We've decided that Symphony is our last week long cruise, unless it's a B2B. I feel like you just got on the ship. We also skipped Cats on our first time in Oasis. You all have been way too vocal about it to fall for that. We told Lety we were skipping it and she didn't even try to change our minds. OCSC Mike, Sweety, Neesa and 3 others 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babsy47 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 We will be on Oasis in a few weeks. As kids, mine were obsessed with CATS. We had a video of a Broadway show on VHS and they would watch, dance and sing. I must have watched that video 200 times. They are now looking forward to the show on the ship! I guess if you know every single word to every single song, it helps. Sweety, Lovetocruise2002 and DDaley 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just start to get relaxed after 4/5 days. I decided my last 7n only sailing is Alaska in September.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted March 17 Author Report Share Posted March 17 After Izumi, Hubby and the kids went ice skating.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted March 17 Author Report Share Posted March 17 The rest of the afternoon was spent doing our own thing.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted March 17 Author Report Share Posted March 17 After dinner, we swung by The Shop to replace Hubby’s soot covered UV shirt. I told him he could still wear the old one, but he said it looks like it’s moldy. Then, we swung by the pub to say goodbye to @recogneyes and her Hubby. Walked in at the same time as Andrew & Lisa, and we all had a few more laughs. They stayed and we headed back to the room to complete the dreaded packing. Tomorrow we are self carrying everything off as usual. Shane said we need to vacate the room by 8:30am but we will be gone before that.

Floski Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 On the RCB group cruise on Wonder in Dec '22, we did a bar crawl and I'm 98 3/4% sure that the Irish Car Bomb annhilated me. I can drink my liquor, but mixing with a beer, even a Guinness, is just a bad idea. Gimme a dozen Patron shots instead!!! Travel mercies to all of y'all going home.

melski94 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Back to real life. We left our room at 6:30. 7:15 gangway was open. Very easy as they had 4 lines open. In Uber by 7:30, at FLL by 8am, time for food for kids and about to board our 9:25 am flight. I know it’s not what’s recommended but we’ll take the chance to be home by 1 pm and have the afternoon to get ready for the week. We’ve done it this way several times and so far so good. Great blog as always! We missed you in the pub last night. Our countdown is 71 days and I can’t wait!
