5,000+ Club (4/15)

  1. I take it that means that we don't need to use our drink vouchers for mixed drinks during the 3-hr HH, am I correct?
  2. Thanks for all of the info on the CLS! Now, I'm even more excited to experience the suite life, even if it is over a year away that we'll be in a CLS on Oasis!! Woot!! Woot!!
  3. Thanks for your suggestion but United First Class did have the lay flat seats in a private cubicle - still no sleep for me. We have Delta Comfort Plus seats (for the extra leg room) for our upcoming flight to Vancouver, so I plan to carry on my neck pillow just in case!
  4. Remember, if you want specialty vs regular coffee, "fresh" (fresh-squeezed OJ), and/or bottled waters, you will need to purchase the Refreshment package if not the Dx drinks package. Unless you already know this. Cheers!
  5. I experienced a near death (DH says I actually died and was revived) experience just this last January. So, for my February 2026 birthday on Oasis, we decided to upgrade our balcony cabin to the Crown Loft Suite, which will be our first experience in a full suite and I'm hoping it'll be amazing! We plan to enjoy CK for most of our meals and, since we are both D+ with 5 drink vouchers each, we can enjoy additional drinks in the CL or SL, so no packages needed. On another note, I had never flown first class until last September, when we flew to Vancouver, cruised Hawaii, and flew back to Indiana from Honolulu. This had been on my bucket list for awhile but, I must say, I was not impressed. I have never been able to sleep on a plane and, for me, this was no different. Watched a movie until I felt sleepy, turned it off, tried to get some sleep but the sheep never arrived. No sleep, nada! My DH, DB and his wife were all sleeping like well-fed babies! Never again will I splurge for first class but I will definitely upgrade to comfort plus or business class for the extra leg room! DH says I can't sleep on a plane cause I'm too nosy! He's probably right but I would never admit it to him! LOL! Thanks for sharing your suite experience with all of us suite virgins!! Cheers!! Sal P.S. Great title for this thread to "hook" people into reading!! It hooked me!
  6. Maybe they'll "mistakenly" throw out all of the costumes during her refurb this Fall. One can only hope!
  7. Tom and I will be back on Oasis but not until September, 2025. Hopefully, Cats will be gone!🤞 Maybe they'll replace it with All Dogs Go To Heaven.🤔
  8. The original poster stated they would be on "Oasis".
  9. Your cabin should have boxes of tissues. At least, ours did just a few weeks ago. At least, that's one other thing they still provide. LOL!
  10. We also bring a big bag of the "good" chocolate mini bars, such as Twix, Snickers, Milky Way, Hershey's, etc., to hand out to various crew members; don't forget the GS (Guest Services) folks, who have a very stressful job listening mostly to complaints all day. If no treats, just stroll by them and wish them a nice day! Yep, duct or duck tape saved my trip home from a cruise a few years ago. My garment bag zipper broke, so I had to use the tape to secure my clothes inside while leaving the ship. Wish I would have snapped a picture of it because it looked like a giant medicine ball!!! I was so afraid that customs was going to ask me to open it!! I used the whole roll of tape and had none left!! Luckily, all was well and I rolled my garment bag to our car in one big piece. LOL! Funny now; not so funny then! Remember, things happen!
  11. Just texted my dear friend, Cruising Grandma (Pinn), about the letter. She said that she received the letter by email today. So, it looks like all Pinns will be receiving the email.
  12. I may be (probably) wrong but I thought that one could not use a drink package or coupons at the bionic bar, and drinks are always charged to the sea pass? I have never tried that bar, so don't know for sure. Anyone?
