Oasis Secrets...shhhhh

[lovescoach]

Ok.

 

Just got off the ship and felt compelled to write about this. LOL ..now I am stealing secrets...I didn't discover these but I thought I would put them all together....

 

Aft Deck 11 and 12....Go to the end of the hallway...either side...and you will get to the decks above the aqua class suites....AMAZING views and always EMPTY!!!!!

 

BOW Deck 14...Go LEFT young man...and then right when you hit the stateroom hallway....you will get to the front deck that spans the entire ship above both sides of the bridge. Amazing views and not crowded until Tuesday when the people in the solarium figure out how to get there. hehehehe GO GO GO.

 

Beef on Weck...Park Cafe...talked much here..but I have to add my OMG OMG OMG I ate at least a dozen over the week...OMG OMG...Heaven on a plate.

 

If you are an adult male...and self conscious...go at 5pm to the Carousel..No one is there and you can take a spin without anyone seeing you...trust me..secretly inside...you will be happy. Pick a nice horse and enjoy the ride.

 

Don't miss the pretzel dogs in the cafe by the flowriders....mushy inside ...pretzely outside and the dog is perfectly cooked.

 

Ask if REBECCA is in the ICE SHOW doing her Sand paintings. You will cry or at least be in total awe. I was close to her during the show and could see her hands....I did not believe my eyes....WOW WOW WOW

 

Art.....I got sucked into the moment. I can't believe I did...I bought a PETRI DISH...If you are not sure...wait during the week as for my cruise....there were plenty of Petri dishes....even though I was told they were lucky to get 10 a week...if that...and that they would sell out quickly....maybe that does happen...but not on my cruise....they were nice of course....If you want to know about the Petri Dishes...go into the PORT Hallway into the Casino. Amazing.... By the way..FIND SOME FRIENDS and buy more than one and get a BIG discount!!!! Then split them up and write whoever bought them for your group a check...save tons of money.

 

Viking Crown is not to be missed...Ask for Gabriella before you sit and order a Choclatini. You will thank me later. Tell her to make it the way she likes it... by the way...the VC lounge runs 3 specials during the week. the best is the buy one get one free martini night....mmmmmmmm

 

Johnnie Rockets made to order eggs...Ask for Homer ....and ask for whatever you want for breakfast...they will figure it out if they have the ingredients...

NEVER crowded and your breakfast will be served piping hot!!!!!

 

we had a ton of kids...so smart they are as I give them credit for figuring this trick...evidently if you are on level 3....the DOWN button has priority...SO if you want to go UP...press down....get on the elevator...and then press your HIGHER Floor number...and VOILA' you immediately go up and laugh at the people you left behind.

 

More to come later. I have to take a nap.

O.K. If I hand the porter my small bag with my own soda and juice....they dont carry my brand will it get thru or should I carry it ? Also when and where was the party for gold and above members ? Loved that past cruises. Also what to bring to the quest ?? LOL !!!

Is the petri dish art the art that is hanging randomly along the walls and ceiling that I've seen in pictures along a hallway? I LOVE those.

 

I'm editing this entry because with a little googling I found that it these are indeed what I was talking about, petri dish creations by Klari Reis. I too am interested in what they sell for if you don't mind. I think I have to have at least one.

The soda and juice put in Gym bag with luggage tag and check.Worst case you will have to pick it up in naughty room. Yes that is the art in the hallway.Judy the club in Solarium was cool not to many peopple mention,Ken ,We are now home.We traveled with others who up until day 4 never ate anywhere but buffet .We finally had them go to Park Deli ,Then they never left there They probable broke your record for RB sandwhichs.SECRET NOT MENTIONED Park Deli togo sandwhiches and chips Great for beach days,if you dont enjoy local fare.

Ok, finally I got the answer I was looking for. I had asked before if anyone has used the Park Cafe to load up on sandwiches and snacks for land excursions. I was told the Park Cafe was also a green market. Thats how it is described! You can load up on supplies such as sandwiches, drinks and snacks to either take back to your cabin or take with you on a land excursion.

Did you take advantage of this?

 

Thanks!

Most ports technically do not allow you to bring food on-shore. Your mileage may vary.

Can you explain the Petri dish thing.... I went to the artists page ... howmuch are they and do you have to go somewhere special to buy them? How does it work... they are beautiful...

[lovescoach]

Thanks will try that approach.......

Most ports technically do not allow you to bring food on-shore. Your mileage may vary.

 

I would have to agree with this...you can do a lot of harm unintentionally by bringing produce or other items to port. It is also a good idea to try different cuisines, and to support local vendors. :)

[orchid4me2003]

OMG! What will they think of next? that just about does it. Was reading that their popularity is spreading like a pandemic. Cute.

Couldn't picture what the Petri dish art was so I Googled it, pretty cool actually.

Fruits and Plants are banned Items, I dont think a packaged sandwich and a bag of chips is dangerous or banned.Anyway its in the Park Cafe a nice Beach Lunch.Do not take an Orangeor Bannana

Thank you!!!! It will be nice to pack a sandwich and chips to take along when we go to St. John for the day. Last time we were there at the beach there wasnt any place to get any food around us. That way we can stay a little bit longer and enjoy the beach!

 

I wasnt planning on any fruit or plants. So this will work for us!

 

Again thank you!

[Head Shot]

Petri Dish cost $ 250 and up

 

Now I know the wild guy on that 70's night on the promenade:D

[belfast]

thanks for the info - especially the 2 for one martinni's

[PineappleGal]

Does anyone have photos to the Menu's for all the cafes?

 

The Sandwiches sound so good; would love to see the other varieties of them all.

[ken987]

Hey I was busy...

 

Yes the Petri dishes come in only the large size.

 

We were told they only get a limited number. hahahhaahaha

 

They are $300 each....unless you buy more than one. We teamed up with another couple and bought one for $250.

If anyone finds them cheaper let me know....

 

remember they are in the left hallway going into the casino....its a major hallway...you can't miss it...really.

Thanks for all of the great secrets!! Our cabin is very far Aft on deck 12 and we were wondering if anyone has photos of the public decks mentioned at the end of the hallway that have the great views. We have a Boardwalk cabin and are wondering if we will be able to get some great ocean views from the deck above the Aqua Suites. Thanks!

[ken987]

I'm not a big picture taker but yes...the views are awesome. They are just like what the Aqua Theater suites have....there are 2 on each side. they are quiet and not well used...its a great place to go read a book and chill....and of course see the ocean and the wake of the ship.

[alphakitty]

Ok.

There are public areas aft on deck 7 and 14 too. We sat on Deck 7, one deck up from the theater for the Aqua Theater show. Great views from here. Don't sit in the first three rows at this show unless you are ok with getting a little wet. ;)

[orchid4me2003]

Thanks for that head's up. Putting that on my list of secret spots!
