alocsin Posted November 26, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Please join me as I periscope my Eastern Caribbean Cruise on the Oasis of the Seas from Nov. 28 to Dec. 5. Starting from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, we visit Nassau, Bahamas; Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas; and Philipsburg, St. Martin. Periscope name: aureliozl3 Twitter handle: aureliozl3 Permanent replays on http://katch.me/aureliozl3 If you've never used Periscope before, here are some instructions: Download the Periscope app from either the Apple or Android store. Periscope works on iPhones and iPads, or any devices that use the Android operating system. Run the Periscope app on your device. You can sign on with your Twitter account. You don't have to be a Twitter user to use it, you can just sign up with a phone number, if you prefer. Tap the People icon and then the Magnifying glass icon. Enter “aureliozl3” as your search term, which is my account. Tap my name and then tap “Follow,” if needed. You'll then receive notice of all my broadcasts. The broadcasts will stay on my Periscope account for 24 hours, if you want to see the replay. If you do not have a smartphone, my broadcasts will be permanently recorded on https://katch.me/aureliozl3. I'm also on Twitter on @aureliozl3. If you follow me there, you'll get notices on your Twitter account. P.S. I'm the tall one in the profile pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyKat Posted November 26, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Cool. I've just added you to the scope. Look forward to hearing all about your cruise. Safe travels. Kath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you eat in the main dining room? If you did MyTime Dining, what time did you go and how were the lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylor1293 Posted November 26, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Did you eat in the main dining room? If you did MyTime Dining, what time did you go and how were the lines? We did My Time Dining for the first three nights. We made reservations around 5:30 each night. No wait at all but there were long lines in the "no reservations" line. Not sure how long they waited. Service in the dining room was great - we just tired of the menu and ate elsewhere the last four nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you happen to notice if the Starbucks food was free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuCruise Posted November 26, 2015 #7 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I have a Windows Phone and so don't thhink I can do the periscope thing, but I'll follow you here if any updates and will definitely check out your website posted above. Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alocsin Posted November 26, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) I have a Windows Phone and so don't thhink I can do the periscope thing, but I'll follow you here if any updates and will definitely check out your website posted above. Have a great cruise! Sadly, no good Periscope app for Windows phones. When the link shows up on Twitter, you might be able to click it and see the live broadcast through Twitter. Otherwise, katch.me is your best bet. Thanks for following along though. Aurelio Edited November 26, 2015 by alocsin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, didn't notice. We never went to Starbucks because we had the Ultimate Beverage package and drinks aren't included there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted November 27, 2015 #11 Share Posted November 27, 2015 This August when we sailed the Oasis was the first time on an Oasis class ship we had to pay for the pastries muffins, or treats at the Starbucks kiosk. Do not know when the change occurred. When we sailed Allure in 2013 and 2014 the stuff was free. Safe journey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alocsin Posted December 1, 2015 Author #13 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Now on the Oasis and Periscoping a few times a day. VROOM Internet on the ship is generally excellent and fast. However, I've noticed that the quality of the scopes are better when we're docked than when we're at sea. That seems to be a common problem and I'm not sure if it's solvable. Otherwise, the scopes are going well. Hope to do a few more scopes, mostly when we're docked for better quality. Replays are at katch.me/aureliozl3 and live broadcasts are under the code "aureliozl3" Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
