Haven’t done it on Freedom, but have done it on other ships that don’t have all the restaurants. Like Hook or Wonderland, the cooks/chefs still do a great job
Kind of/Maybe? , I'm Loyal to Royal and fairly thrifty but even with free stuff from a great loyalty program I can cruise cheaper with other lines. Have another Royal and Celebrity booked, but can't guarantee I'll be back after that
My take
flights for me cheaper into MCO than FLl/Mia
makes the cruise difference a wash, in most cases
with you having been on Oasis before, it is nice to try something new.
It is a tradition when we get on, grab a couple of slices instead of WJ and then we’re good for the rest of the cruise, most times.
Agree with others, continued watering down of a brand until it is no longer recognizable.
Thanks @harryfat1 3 pages in and have already had enough random photos and details to make me realized i'm only a 7.4 on the anal scale.
Missed you and your style. Will have to read the Princess Alaska report just to get my fix!!
I am also not an AI guy anymore, even though better pricing over cruising, really just found AI didn’t offer enough as 8m not a beach guy and we had to wander off to find stuff to do, so always easier to find stuff to do on a cruise, but if the drink package is a deal breaker, might have to be AI
I haven't seen since the restart, but could ask at any bar, bartender would sell you one if they've got them. Seems like they were there to increase sales and no need now for the help as Royal is doing fine without them.
Had something in CP with Don the bartender on Oasis in Feb and it was my favourite drink recently, what was it? I have no idea, it was a Don special-tried to peek, so maybe someone can tell me what it is.
it was Myers’s rum with a floater, had the pink goo in it, coconut rum, peach schnapps and some juice maybe pineapple and grenadine It was kind of pinky
Quantum class. Will sail Oasis class, but prefer Quantum for the 270, the nicer solariums, generally longer itineraries (from NJ anyway) just n general
As a Q Ultra I really felt the loss of the outdoor dining, the loss of the 2nd covered pool area, probably the 2nd biggest impact i noticed. Nothing wrong with the Lime and Coconut but less covered area for cold weather cruising.
I jus5 find fellow CC members more knowledgeable, lots of fluff and nonsense on any FB groups I’ve been part of, I just don’t anymore. I’d rather meet up or share excursions with my CC family.
We prefer spending the night on Galveston Island, a hotel on the pier, go to millers grill, book VIP shuttle or other, hotel will cost you a little bit more, but worth it , booking your shuttle, will exclude the Uber variance
Hmm chocolate was great in Feb on Oasis, I feel like expectations for milk shakes should be tempered, they are after all not TikTok famous like icynspicy in Miami
