According to Royal Caribbean it is indeed a (requirement) that wine or champagne (only) be placed into a passengers carry-on bag. I will drop the info below.

Well there you go! I need to read the FAQ's. Thank you!

Much better to carry on not only because of possible breakage but you could delay delivery. Bags can be pulled aside and sent to the naughty room. You would be called to identify to make sure you have legal wine and not liquor.

 

If you don’t want to carry around plan to board after 1:00. Cabins are available at 1:00.

I just realized that this could happen .. I am sure it could be a problem if they suspect it's liquor. We've never actually brought any wine on board before. I'll sweetly ask the hubs to take care of carrying the champagne in his back pack! Thank you so much for mentioning we could be delayed! First time out of this port (which is cool because we live an hour away!) and I'm unsure how well embarkation actually works.

June 30th we had one in the State Store (PA) paper bag and they even removed it from the wine carrier and then the bag to be sure it wasn't liquor.

Oh wow. Thank you for the heads up.

It's recommended (not required, but it is a rookie mistake to not do so) because bottles can break. Suitcases can and do get thrown around. We always carry ours. Almost everyone does. Get a wine carrier bag or put them in a backpack. Easy enough.

Ah...I didn't even think about them being broken. Thank you for your quick reply!!

I read in a review it was "a rookie mistake" to pack wine bottles in a suitcase. Is it required we physically carry them on the ship? I certainly don't want the confiscated (very special bottles) but I can't imagine toting around 2 bottles for hours until we get to our room.

Thank you for advice!

No DVD players in JS staterooms.

Thank you so much for your quick reply Bob!!

Wondering if I could bring a couple of movies.. thank you!!!

I drop off bottles ALL THE TIME in the restaurants, both MDR and specialty.

 

They will label it, but I am vaguely paranoid and take a Sharpie with me and write my cabin number on the bottle before dropping it off.

EXCELLENT idea. Thank you!

Unlimited apps, but only one entree.

 

Chill bottle in cabin and bring with you.

We can chill in our fridge. I would hope for the $15 corkage we could at least have an ice bucket at our table.

Unlimited apps and desserts. Extra charge for second entree. Ask at the restaurant how you should handle the champagne.

Thank you!

I've scheduled (3 so far) restaurants on our cruise that are upfee. Giovannis, 150 Park and First Nite Done Right (not sure where we will end up).

I'm confused about how we order. Are we able to try several things or is it similar to how Prix Fixe menu works in a nice restaurant where you order an app, salad, entree and dessert for a set price?. Hubs wants to know how they REALLY feel about you when ordering 2 appetizers and 2 desserts LOL!..

Lastly I am bringing (2) special bottles of champagne on the ship to have for dinners. I understand there is a $15 corkage fee. I wondered the best way to get these bottles chilled ahead of time for us and brought to our table in a nice ice bucket when we arrive for dinner. Would we just drop them off at the restaurant ahead of time? Would this be something that is appropriate to ask our room steward for assistance with? :champagne-toast::bottle-pop::champagne-toast:

Thank you so much everyone! I love this site.

I'm a bit confused about how MyTime dining works. I've watched a couple of videos and it seems if you don't have assigned dining and choose MyTime you have a very, very long wait (one video was over an hour wait to even be seated.

If we choose our MyTime dinnertimes (I did on Royal Carib. online cruise planner) is that not like having an actual reservation time?

I understand with the huge volume of people we would have some longer waits than usual with a reservation but does having a MyTime actual dinner time really make any difference at all?

If there is a huge line when we head to the dining room how does MyTime even work? Is there a Maitre D that handles MyTime? I will feel very strange and pushy walking up to the front of the line to even ask questions LOL! Trying to find out particulars ahead of time.

Lastly, I understand all the main dining rooms honor MyTime, right? There is not one single place we are supposed to go to?

I have scheduled (3) upfee restaurants just so we will hopefully have actual dinner times and be able to catch shows.

I love this forum! I've learned so much about our upcoming Oasis cruise.

We were on Oasis last week for our anniversary, which fell while the ship was docked at Labadee. We stayed on the ship and had plenty to do, hot tubs to ourselves and restaurants not crowded.

 

Enjoy your day, very relaxing,

Perfect!!<3:champagne-toast::bottle-pop:

This is my absolute favorite thing to do when I don’t feel like visiting a particular port. Almost like having the pool to yourself. Just delightful.

Do you like the solarium pool?? it looks lovely! Is there a bar close to it?:tropical-drink::tropical-drink::tropical-drink:

Hi Cruisers. Happy Anniversary in advance. The Oasis will have plenty of bars open on Labidee day on the ship.

 

Dinning open during day

Specialty at 500pm

Sorrento pizza 1100am

Dog House 130 to 600

Windjammer buffet 1130 to 300

Wipe out cafe 230-530

Johnny Rockets 230-530

 

Plenty to drink and eat if you stay on board. We are on 10-28- & 11-25 on Oasis. Bob & Nancy

Oh my! you two are serious cruisers!!! wow.. we are only on #4. First RCL for us. Thank you so much for this awesome info! We are on Oasis leaving this Sunday!

Pretty much exactly that - guys are always around the pool area asking if anyone wants drinks. Our last cruise also had a guy with a beer cart as well.

Thank you! this sounds like my idea of heaven. Hubs would really dig a beer cart LOL!

Most places (aside from the MDR) will be open on Labadee day - especially bars and poolside service.

Can you tell me more about poolside service? Are there waiters that bring you cocktails from the bar?

Thank you so much for the quick replies! I am so happy to hear we will have options. I have dreamed about just lazing by the pool with a pretty cocktail on our anniversary for weeks!

Apologies if I am posting in the wrong place. I could not find how to post on a thread for a particular ship..

My hubs and I are going to be on Oasis for our 20th Anniversary. Our actual Anniversary falls on Labadee port day. I am pretty sure we will want to stay on the ship and I wondered will we be able to get a nice drink to have by the pool (are any bars open around lunch time?) that day if we choose to stay on ship?

I understand dining rooms are more than likely closed on in port days but what about places like the hot dog shop or even rooms service lunch?

Thank you so much for advice! We are so crazy excited about spending time on Oasis!
