Wanneeka Posted August 3, 2024 Report Posted August 3, 2024 While Royal promoting all the great pay options on Coco Cay please promote how they’ve severally downgraded the inclusive options you had. Especially how they’ve stripped away the DJ from the Oasis Lagoon to downgrade the experience there for the mass of passengers in order to make profit off of the for fee Hideaway Beach. It’s misleading to have people believe that Coco Cay is an upgraded experience when the only upgrades are at a cost and the experience we have all come to love has severely been downgraded. I know I speak for so many especially those traveling with minors who don’t have luxury of partaking in the Hideaway Beach experience. #BringbacktheDJtoOasisLagoon Gilley, Herman Hinkelstein and dr martini 1 1 1 Quote
Matt Posted August 3, 2024 Report Posted August 3, 2024 FWIW, I’m happy DJ is gone from Oasis Lagoon, but just proves we all have different takes on what’s fun. Not to mention when the DJ was there, it was always super popular, so shows what my opinion is worth. I truly believe having a DJ at Hideaway Beach cannibalizes the experience at Oasis. Basically, two djs is one too many. HeWhoWaits, Snotarni, WAAAYTOOO and 6 others 6 2 1 Quote
OCSC Mike Posted August 3, 2024 Report Posted August 3, 2024 We always sit within earshot of where the DJ was but never right on top of him, nor did we ever go into the mosh pit area of the pool. The experience at Oasis Lagoon has been identical to us, not downgraded... they've just replaced the human DJ with DJ iPod. CruiseGus 1 Quote
Herman Hinkelstein Posted August 3, 2024 Report Posted August 3, 2024 @Wanneeka1st let me start by giving you the warmest welcome to the Royal Caribbean Blog Forum. I completely agree with you and the only reason I can find is that corporate greed. They will try and make each thing as profitable as possible and as my very good friend @OCSC Mikesaid, “DJ iPod” in the lagoon doesn’t cost them while a live DJ would. the prices at Coco have gotten out of hand…my upcoming Star sailing lists the thrill water park at $259pp. Not paying them more than a Disney World ticket for 4 hrs of waiting in lines. I would say we should stand up and demand they change things back, but I don’t want to risk getting chastised on the community forum again when I’m so close to achieving Diamond. Anyways I digress, I agree with you and welcome again to our friendly RC banter forum Wanneeka, Gilley and Ryan79 1 2 Quote
CruiseGus Posted August 5, 2024 Report Posted August 5, 2024 I for one do NOT want to see a live DJ return to Oasis Lagoon. I found moving all that to Hideaway Beach to be a big plus for us. HeWhoWaits, barjpoe, Snotarni and 4 others 4 1 1 1 Quote
Jenn G-MEI Travel Posted August 5, 2024 Report Posted August 5, 2024 I personally still think Oasis Lagoon is fun. As a Mom with a teen, I am glad for Hideaway. It got a little rowdy over there with the 21 and over crowd and we would then move to another area. Hideaway seems to keep the rowdy to a real minimum, I have been 3 times since January and never seen appalling behavior like I did at the Lagoon pool. Herman Hinkelstein 1 Quote
Reigert2008 Posted August 5, 2024 Report Posted August 5, 2024 Well, well, well, today I learned that there was a DJ at the Oasis Lagoon. I had never paid attention to how the music was getting played and honestly didn't know it was a DJ. On our last trip to Perfect Day, we stayed on the ship until lunch and then wandered off to eat on the island and then were back on the ship, we're not really beach people, but did enjoy some time at the pool on various trips.

Hopefully the one at Hideaway Beach can't be heard from Oasis Lagoon. With the DJ, it definitely wasn't an "oasis." CruiseGus, Baked Alaska, tonyfsu21 and 2 others 4 1 Quote
