Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I'm going to miss the days of 1/3 capacity and 1 ship per day. When we went for our Honeymoon Oasis was less than 30% full and the only ship in port. On and off every waterslide repeatedly
  2. I don't think you're saving money going to a theme park for a week instead of going on a cruise.....
  3. Our waiter on the last cruise used to bring us so much stuff from off-menu.. My wife and I loved the Indian food dish one night and every night after that a different dish would be sent to our table for us to try. Seems like they've incorporated more of that into the menus though, so we'll see.
  4. Well that is excessively disappointing.
  5. I actually really like some of the views from Deck 6 on the Oasis class ships. The back of the ships have nice areas to sit and watch the wake. As far as jogging track goes... I love it (as I am a runner and use it daily for that purpose) Is the lack of a full-length (or slightly appended) Broadway show not a detractor? We booked Harmony in April over Wonder because it has Grease whereas Wonder has a Royal created show. Oasis is definitely geared more towards the "resort" crowd, but you definitely still know you're at sea when you step up to the pool decks in my opinion. I personally love the Oasis class ships - they have the most entertainment, most stuff to explore, best outdoor space to people ratio, best use of outdoor space, and I could go on forever.
  6. We decided against Wonder simply because there was no broadway show
  7. I remember it! I was on one of those Quantum cruises where it still existed, and honestly it wasn't THAT bad. The biggest issue I had with it was that with the change they also cut staffing. This caused bussing areas to pile up with dirty dishes, poor overworked waiters, and upset customers. On the flip-side, my cruise also had the kitchens go down one day which prompted Royal to open the bars for everyone as compensation.
  8. What others have said...Royal Caribbean has completely shifted to catering to young families. Thats their business plan and it seems to be working for them. Can't wait to sail on her... looks like a blast.
  9. So we're all in agreement that "The Hideaway" will be a paid area of the ship right? Similar to how Norwegian does the Vibe Beach Club...
  10. I never actually start threads here, but we're looking to book a cruise for next summer and my party has been debating whether to have Cococay be the first or last stop on the cruise. There are obvious advantages and disadvantages to both... would love to hear others opinions. First Day Pro - great way to start vacation with a relaxing beach/pool day, no planning needed to start the vacation Con - Coming straight from the stress of life its nice for this to be later in the vacation to truly appreciate the relaxation Last Day Pro - After a full cruise of entertainment, excursions, and island hopping, its a nice decompression before going back to reality Con - Afterwards will need to pack for home which (depending on your group) may cut the island time down by a few hours
