  1. Yes they do. There will be a new Express Tram system being used once the construction is complete.
  2. Hello everyone and good day. Well, I can describe the day in just one word. . . Hot The forecast called for 87f, but it feels much hotter. . . Maybe 95? I got off of the ship for a while, but only about 90 min. After that, it was time to come back. I wanted to explore around town a little and get a few more pics of the construction at Nassau Cruise Port. I really think that Nassau Cruise Port will bring back passenger confidence to Nassau when completed. They are doing much, much more than new painting and a few lights. Nassau Cruise Port is transforming the port area from the ground up. Everything will be new when completed. The company that is doing this(GPH) has done this several times in ports worldwide, and the results are stunning. I should be back in Jan 2023 for B2B on Anthem of the Seas, and I am looking forward to seeing more progress. We are scheduled to leave Nassau this afternoon at 5PM to have 2 full relaxing days at sea, before when finish at Cape Liberty Cruise Port in Bayonne, NJ. I have 2 more days at sea to do more stuff! Here are a few pics. Thanks for tuning in. Radio Freedom of the Seas has joined us today The NEW piers are very wide We approach the new Arrivals Terminal It looks massive These will be Vendor Kiosks We are at the farthest pier from the port The Straw market is staying I think The Bearded Clam Bar and Grill was very busy Hmm. . . may I should get some coffee. This is not Nassau Police. . .it is the Tourist Police Dept. The street side of the pier shows something that I'm not certain about. . . We enter the port area here. Heading back to the ship, I see a lot of work going on. Water and shade await Oasis of the Seas passengers I take the Escalator from Deck 2 to Deck 3 PXL_20220922_162847804.mp4 Say what you want about Nassau, but the water is beautiful. NAS.mp4 . The water is stunning .

  4. Captain Tore suggested that it was 2 reasons for the closure. A hydraulic leak was causing hydraulic fluid to seep into the water causing problems for the divers who are underwater during each show. The water was murky and it was difficult to see the swimmers. The murkiness was by hydraulic fluid. Everything seems to be repaired now. The Aqua80 show is now operating.
  5. wolfcathorse, Great job on this list. Radio (Currently on Oasis of the Seas)
  6. Hello everyone, and good morning. Welcome to DAY 5 of "LIVE" from Oasis of the Seas. (Sept 22, 2022) We arrived at Port Nassau at 8am. Freedom of the Seas have joined us here in Nassau. Passengers will be free to go ashore very soon. Construction on the pier facility started very early this morning. There were many construction workers that I could see as early as 7:00 am as we were approaching Nassau harbor. There are no specific plans today. I was entertaining a visit to Margaritaville Resort (less than 1 mile from the Port), but the day passes were sold out. Maybe I should have reserved a pass sooner. There is a live webcam from Port Nassau (Port Nassau webcam dot com) you are unable to see the Arrivals Terminal that is currently being constructed. I will go down to that area and post a few images of the status. We are scheduled to be here until 5:00 pm. The weather forecast for today is 87°f with a few clouds, and a slight chance of a passing shower. Here are a few pics from this morning. Thanks for tuning in. Radio. The sun is coming up as we approach Nassau harbor. Oasis of the Seas approaching the pier slowly. PXL_20220922_112423471~2.mp4 I can see the construction on the new Arrivals terminal. I can also see the new vendor kiosks being constructed. We are joined today by Freedom of the Seas. The schedule suggests that there are only 2 ships in Nassau today. It looks like a sunny day for the Beach pool on Oasis of the Seas. Here is some info on the new Arrivals terminal. .

  8. It turns out that a large group of Asian passengers are sailing this week (over 1500) Many if them just decide to bring the same dress for a photo opportunity. 10 of them, 20 of them and sometimes 50 of them would pose together for a photo.
  9. You can wait until you go to Perfect Day, but the pricing is usually less money if you reserve your Beach Bed with cruise planner before you go.

  11. I'm currently on a B2B on Oasis of the Seas. I had the KEY for week 1, there was no =zero= bill, or anything to sign. Passengers that have the KEY are not required to leave a gratuity, but can leave a cash gratuity if they like.

  14. Hello everyone and good day. I had a great day in CocoCay. As suggested, I decided to go over to Chill Island and I selected one of the Beach Beds on Chill Beach. It was delightful. The beach beds come equipped with beach towels, a large cooler with water that is chilled, and two large floating mats. I have read many reviews that have suggested that there are a lot of jellyfish and a lot of small sharks on the beaches of CocoCay. I did not experience any of these hazards. Bar service is available by roaming attendants that will take your order. Soda packages and refreshment packages will work on the island. (D, D+, and PC drinks are available as well) The food area is a bit of a walk though. The Royal Caribbean Cruise planner suggests that food items will be brought for your Beach bed. That is incorrect. I could have dined at the buffet on Chill Beach, but I went over to Snack Shack over by the Oasis Lagoon Pool and had a nice lunch. I went into the water a couple times, and it was refreshing. Royal Caribbean Wayfinder showed that it was 90° at CocoCay. Yikes. The beach bed offers great shade, and yes I was able to watch news. On my way over to The Snack Shack, I noticed that the Oasis Lagoon pool was not as crowded as I would have thought. It was a very sunny and hot walk over to Chill Beach this morning, So I decided to ride the train back to the ship. A long shower was in order for my day in CocoCay, and it may be time for a little more news before dinner. Here are a few pics from today. Thanks for tuning in. Radio Chill Island Map (I had #30) It's a long walk from the ship Hmmm. . . where do we go? It's off to Chill Island Oasis of the Seas from the Chill Island Bridge Beach Beds on Chill Island Beach They are very comfortable I love the palm trees here Oasis of the Seas as viewed from Chill Island Snack Shack The water looks refreshing It is a lot less crowded than last week It's Tram time We had to stop so security could check our SeaPass cards Yikes . . . 90f
  15. No masks are required for passengers on ships or in Cape Liberty. The ship suggested that some ports may require for some retail establishments. I haven't found one that requires it.
  16. I had lunch at Giovanni's last week on Oasis of the Seas. Here is a photo of the lunch menu.
  17. Hello everyone and good morning. Welcome to DAY 4 of "LIVE" from Oasis of the Seas. We left Port Canaveral last night a little before 9:00 pm, and it seemed like the whole ship was alive until late in the evening. Aqua80, Caribbean Party, adult comedy show, Studio B, and Music Hall were offering entertainment for those who wanted to attend. I think that Casino Royale must have been the busiest I have ever experienced on this ship. All of the table games, and all of the slots had players. There may have been over a hundred passengers just waiting to sit at a slot or a table game. Crazy busy. We docked this morning at ,"Perfect Day at CocoCay at 9:00 am. Passengers should be free to go ashore by 10 am. Today I will hang out over on Chill Island. I checked this out last week, and I think it seems like it would be nice for a relaxing afternoon. There are several Beach choices to choose from and I will make a decision when I arrive. We currently have sunny skies, and no rain is in the forecast. It does seem however to be very hot and nine am today. It is likely and I will be consuming a Crispy Chicken Snack sandwich, and maybe a funnel cake at one of the Snack Shacks today. Here are a few pics from last night and this morning. Thanks for tuning in. Radio The Brevard Marine sheriff escorted Oasis of the Seas away from the pier. Aqua80 was on last night. This is a view from deck 15. I have the show reserved for tomorrow. Casino Royale was hopping The Caribbean Deck Party was busy however, I didn't like the music so much. Oasis of the Seas all lit up last night around 11. We have arrived at CocoCay. A map of Chill Island Position of Oasis of the Seas at around 8am. .

  21. Hello everyone good evening. . . My Tuesday in Port Canaveral was almost identical to last week. I hung out at Grills Seafood and Tiki Bar, and then went over to Sunrise Dive shop. The weather today was much different than I expected. The forecast for Port Canaveral was cloudy skies, thundershowers and heavy rains for most of the day. When I woke up this morning I saw heavy clouds and dark skies. Today in Port Canaveral was very warm with sunny skies, and no rain. I was very happy with the actual weather that Port Canaveral had. I like it a lot better when I sail from Cruise Maryland, the ships take 2 days to arrive here and arrive at 7:00 am. at the pier. That gives you the whole day to do an excursion or rent a car or do what you wish. Today we did not dock until 1:30 and passengers were not free to go ashore until 2:30. There were however hundreds of passengers who bought a transfer to Orlando (1 hr away) for an excursion to Kennedy Space Center (30 min away) It is just easier for me when the ship arrives early. Tomorrow we are scheduled for CocoCay and we have not received any announcement about late arrival or swapping ports, or alternate ports. Things may change, but for now the schedule remains the same. We pulled into the port today next to CT-1, rather than back in. Oasis of the Seas most often backs into the docking section of the pier (like we did last week) I am guessing it is due to divers cleaning the hull underwater. Captain Tore suggested this maneuver last week at Captain's Corner when I asked him why there were divers in Port Canaveral. Here are a few pics from today. Thanks for tuning in. Radio As we approach Port Canaveral, I can see the NASA vehicle assembly building. We passed the north beaches into the Port Canaveral cut. We arrived a little late but we are now here. I was able to make it over to Grills Seafood and Tiki Bar. You can see Oasis of the Seas easily from here. The food is always good at Grills, and the crew is very friendly. There are always great views at Grills I had to stop in to Sunrise dive shop They're always seems to be something I need. CT-1 It's time for dinner so I must get back to the ship. We had a nice sunset in Port Canaveral. .
