Great start! I'm looking forward to following along.

We usually get coffee/tea and fruit delivered in the morning as our "wake up" call. I don't remember which ship/line, but we also used to get a cheese plate to snack on while dressing for dinner. With all these ideas, so many more different things to try now. Love the idea of the shrimp club.

There are 2 sea days :) I don't know about Halifax, but at St John it wasn't hard to get back to the ship.

True!!

I don't know for sure if they have the gelatto - I just heard some one mention it in passing. Ice cream/yogurt is on the port side (left facing the bow) as is the pizza. Both the pizza and the grill (hot dogs & hamburgers) are in the mid-ship Lido pool area. Along with 2 bars and the Dive in Movies. Hot tubs are one deck up (shhh don't tell - most people don't know they are there!)

 

Chips, guacamole and salsa are only there while the Burrito Bar is going. Probably noon to about 2:30 or 3.

Very happy knowing we can get salsa and guac for an afternoon snack. Although I guess with the New England itinerary, we won't be on the ship at snack time!

Great pictures!

Great review! I've got a long wait, but this sure helps pass the time.:)

Thanks so much. We have a large group with some cruise newbies, so its great for them to be able to get a glimpse ahead of time.

RCCL has dropped the price on Lady O in 2015 and the new Liberty sailings out of Bayonne this morning around 3:00 am. Call your TA and check your reservations folks!! :D:D:D

Thanks for sharing! Called and got it adjusted. Sweet!

We bought it on our Carnival cruise and our Jewel cruise last October, and will again for our Oasis cruise. I'm not sure if we broke even as I really didn't keep track, but it was worth it for us. Like another poster said, it makes the cruise seem a little more all-inclusive--it was paid for up-front and we could just enjoy ourselves.

Yes, the packages went through a major change in Nov 2013. The Premium package now includes any wine $12 or less. You are no longer limited to house wine. Here's a flyer with the new packages:

Thank you!

Some of my favorite things to do on the Oasis of The Seas

 

1) sitting on the couches in Central Park after dark and looking up at the stars or running through central Park with an umbrella in the rain.

2) Doing full tilt formal night with tux and gown and drinking Martinis on the Riding Tide Bar

3)riding the carousel in tux and gown

4) sitting in the cantilevered hot tub and looking out to sea at sunset

5) Chilling out in the Solarium

6) the 70s dance party is a hoot-way too much fun

7)If you do only one restaurant, make it 150 Central Park and ask to be seated in the royal chairs

 

etc etc etc This is the world's best ship.

Such great ideas!

There's no list of premium wine. The Premium package includes any wine that is $12 or less.

 

There are some wines listed in this link:

Do you know if this is new? In October we had a choice of house red or house white and that was it with the premium package.

We are not big drinkers, but to us the package was totally worth it, just in terms of convenience and the ability to try new things (and this was on a port intensive cruise). Will definitely get again on our next cruise.

Bill,

 

What itinerary were you on?

We went to St. Maarten, St. Kitts, Antigua, St. Lucia and Barbados.

For the other person that asked the Solarium snack bar opened at 2:30 and stayed open pretty late (I don't remember how late though, we stopped at the Sea View Café later in the evening).

HTH

We just got off that cruise too. Had a great time!!

Great review, thanks!! I'm enjoying reading it. We board the Jewel next Saturday.
