We have a bag like what Vacation Lover described. Ours is the Kyss bag. They make them in different sizes. We have one of the larger ones and it's pretty big. But we love it for these purposes.

Ooooh, I've been waiting for your review. I LOVED your FOS review from last year when we were planning our July cruise on the same ship. And we are also sailing on Oasis on 4/2, so will look forward to hearing the good and bad from you.

We did a guarantee JS and got a GS assignment (and well in advance of the sail date, too, which I found very surprising. So check back often if you decide to go the GTY route.

The biggest "advantage" to the JS (IMO) is the space. It's quite roomy and it's a lovely way to cruise.

Totally agree with this. Did a 7-night with my family of 4 and loved having the space that we did (and that I could change in the walk-in closet without dragging my clothes into the bathroom!).

The rep offices no longer have tickets to KSC. I tried this year and they told me KSC was taken off the approved list! It has worked in past years this is true.

That's a bummer. :(

Thanks, sent an email to their office. Fingers crossed.

You may want to also call.

Yes, yes and yes. Unless you have a new representative, you won't be the first person to call with a request. They are familiar with the process and will know what info to tell and ask of you

I have first hand experience with the tickets from your Representative. We did this in 2014 before a Disney cruise and got 4 tickets and a parking pass, compliments of our representative (called his office to request them). But...generally the rule of thumb is you have to request them about 6 months in advance. I don't know if you won't get them if your window of time is less than that, but just FYI. You've been, so you know this, but it's really awesome and my whole family loved our visit there.

We were able to book, yes. We booked directly through their website and the day passes were still listed as included with the room rate.

We did both. My son wore a go pro and they also had a great picture of him close to the end. I agree with the PP that the cost is totally worth it.

Thanks for the review - we are on the Oasis for the Eastern itinerary in April. Can't wait to see the ship. Do you remember if the second formal night was night 5 or 6 ?

Thanks, everyone. I've been traveling for work without a lot of free time, so sorry for the late reply. Appreciate the tips. Still weighing our options. We are doing a few specialty restaurants so between that and at least one night at CK we may just have to figure out the other nights once we get there (or try the emailing option suggested). For now, I at least know I'm not going to change to MTD. :)

Hi.

We are going to book at Comfort Suites for the Atlantis Day Pass. I'm assuming we book for the day we are in port, even though technically we wouldn't be able to check in until much later in the day? Does this make sense?

In other words, we are in Nassau on April 3 with port time 8:30-3. I'm assuming when we book online we should choose the check-in date of April 3 (and not April 2 with a late check-in)?

Thanks!

We will be cruising with another family in April (each a family of 4). We booked at nearly the same time but they have My Time Dining and we got Early Dining. I am reading on the roll call that they aren't even taking names on the wait list any more for Early Dining. For the nights we aren't doing specialty restaurants, is our best bet for my family to change to My Time Dining? I'm reading you are able to reserve times online before the cruise (have also seen complaints about long waits for MTD on the ship) so just trying to figure out what we need to do to eat together with as little stress/wait time on the ship as possible.

Second question, my family is in GS and they are JS, so we want to do Coastal Kitchen one night. I want to say I read that the formal night (which we don't care so much about) with lobster is good to go to CK as they also prepare it and it's great. Oasis will be out of Port Canaveral at that point - is there any way for us to tell what nights are what types of dinner/dress now?

Any thoughts appreciated!
