I got one yesterday that is similar to Bob's. [a chance to enter a raffle]

 

Of course, it was addressed to DH. :(

 

Everything that is done for Royal Caribbean is done by me. I complete the cruise documents and add DH to my account. In fact, the email address attached to the account is MY NAME. Yet, all correspondence is addressed to DH.

 

It is a little thing. . .but, shows how behind the times RCL is. Sorry, had to get that rant out. Now I am fine. :o

I have the same problem. We don't even have the same last name and my email address has MY last name in it!

I also got the spa email despite no cruises currently booked. Just have a NCC and some credit we haven't used yet.

You're very welcome. We LOVED the cabin and plan to stay in the same hallway whenever we go on Oasis/Allure again.

Any chance of you getting a photo of room 10500? It is one of the forward facing rooms that is angled in the front.

 

Tanzer, I stayed in 10102 (2 cabins over) in May:

They will offer various species throughout the cruise, usually better on port days. Each day will be different specials.

THIS. Port day specials are decently priced. I went during the Nassau stop and got a full body massage, facial and scalp treatment for $100 or so. Yes there was a hard sell but the massage was decent and the facial was great.

Also, take the spa tour after you get on the ship to enter the raffle for a chance to win free treatments.

Just found the brochure on Royal's website. Not perfect, but the best solution I found yet.

I got mine from a travel agent.

You could also look into getting a copy of the Royal brochure/vacation planner. It has fold out deck plans in the back.

Also, I wonder if Mr. Goldstein would ever go on "undercover boss" with RCCL. That would be an interesting show!

The head of NCL did a few years ago. It was definitely interesting.

Subscribing! Love your blogs :)

My favorites are strawberry light lemonade, strawberry Sprite and my all time favorite, 1/2 Coke and 1/2 Mello Yello.

Even if the passport has expired and was issued within the last 15 years it still counts as a renewal in which case renewal fees apply. .

Usually but not always - I had to pay full price because my previous passport was issued when I was under 16.

Does anyone have a photo of the current tumbler design? I will not be on a ship with Freestyle.

This is the red one:

And there's a blue one as well.

O'Doul's and a second non-alcoholic beer (Buckler maybe) are offered.

LOVED the Schooner Bar staff a few weeks ago. They were always smiling and dancing around. Definitely made it a favorite spot on the ship for me.

You have all been tremendously helpful. I have found a biodegradable container online that is much smaller and lighter, which says that it comes with TSA packaging. It's also helpful to know that we have the Post Office option too, although my preference is going to be to keep him with us on our flight(s).

 

I really appreciate your help to solve my problem. Thank you so much!

If you take his ashes with you, be sure to bring a copy of the death certificate and the certification from the crematorium if you have it. You probably won't get questioned but I had them with me just in case since the remains will have to be x-rayed.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Would it be possible to have your DH's ashes put in a smaller container to carry on the plane with you and then transferred into the urn required by the cruise ship?

That's what I did with my mom. I had her ashes split up into a few small bags to go different places and took the bag with me on the flight.

Thanks for the great review. I've enjoyed following along.

Unfortunately I'm only in an ocean view room and I'm sure that's where I'll be staying. Maybe one of these days ill get a fancy room!

The OV rooms on Enchantment are great! Ours had a huge window and a ledge you could use as a window seat so I didn't miss having a balcony at all.

Loved the review! After a few years of islands both by cruise and plane, we're leaning towards changing things up and this is the exact cruise we're thinking of! Off to read your other reviews and hoping you'll do an Oasis one.

Thanks for the review! This just strengthens my resolve to go on Majesty before she's gone.

I had 3 animals and 2 sets of chocolates on Oasis last week so it must've just been your stateroom attendant. They don't make or break the trip for me - I like them but I don't need them. And I don't eat chocolate anyway.

Ship - Oasis of the Seas

Deck - Ten

Stateroom - #10102 (forward oceanview cabin overlooking the bow/helipad)

Stateroom Category – F

Starboard or Port Side - Slightly Port (just left of dead center)

Quiet Stateroom? (With comments on problems) – Quiet except for the doors. The neighbors were slamming their front door constantly. And yes, you do hear the thrusters when docking in the morning but it only lasts a few minutes usually and you can go back to sleep.

Was stateroom a connecting stateroom? - No

Balcony View - Not a balcony but view is of the bow/helipad. Great to see nothing in front of you!

Balcony Size? N/A

Was wind a problem? - N/A

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? - N/A

Any specific problems with this cabin? - Other than the doors' susceptibility to slamming shut, nope.

Any other comments? - There's a lot of extra space between the bed and very large window (bed is "next" to the window for those wondering). It slants sharply at the very front but is more than ample to store suitcases, clothes or whatever doesn't fit in regular storage. I don't have pictures of the cabin itself uploaded but this gives you an idea: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1147485

Got a stock response from Customer Service:

Dear Ms. pfd:

Thank you for your email. We apologize for the delay in our response.

They need one like princess offers....premium Unlimited Soda & more Package, unlimited soda plus any mocktails, juices, shakes, floats and complimentary hot chocolate.....

That would be perfect for me. I get the soda package now but most of my bar bill on top of that is mocktails.

Thanks for another great review! Love the captain's chair pic!
