Cupcrazy Posted October 29, 2013 Author #126 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Nate, is the private beach for upper tier Crown & Anchor or just for suite passengers? And if it is for upper tier, what tier is it? Diamond Plus?? What about the cabanas? Same? Thanks? Good Question. I saw a sign that said you must have a gold card in order to enter the private beach (Nellie's Beach). Until 10 minutes ago I assumed if you're one of the upper tiers in the C&A you had a gold coloured sea pass card. I just looked around and gold cards are for people staying in suites. So I guess if you're in the upper tier you can't get in to the private beach. That seems a little weird to me. You can also gain access if you book an over the water cabana because they are located on that beach. The OTW cabana give access to up to 6 people and its ok if none of them have gold cards.

Cupcrazy Posted October 29, 2013 Author #127 Share Posted October 29, 2013 At 2:30 in the Aqua Theatre was the World's Sexiest Man Contest. I went to watch because Gary from the Skillet 6 in our Roll Call was going to enter. Little did I know That Kenny would nominate me to enter as well. Damn me and always wearing my tuxedo t shirt on the day of the first formal night. When they were first taking volunteers there wasn't much of a crowd. It eventually grew to a packed house.

Next time I'll be trying to book one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cupcrazy Posted October 29, 2013 Author #130 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) TAKE IT OFF!!!! Gary ended up winning first place. There wasn't much doubt to this one. Is that Rob Ford or Gary?

skillet Posted October 30, 2013 #133 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hey Nate, I have to say reading your review/post brings back such great memories of a great week. I really like others have been enjoying it. I do want to give you your props for paying homage to the "Skillet Six" we miss you brother. Go Heat.

skillet Posted October 30, 2013 #134 Share Posted October 30, 2013 You were a great sport with the sexy man contest, I personally believe you were robbed. I did hear you had special "behind" the scenes pics on your camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupcrazy Posted October 30, 2013 Author #135 Share Posted October 30, 2013 When I got back to the pool deck there was volleyball going on in the Sports Pool. Volleyball was played almost every day at 3pm. I think I played 3 or 4 times. There is a net to stop balls from going over the railing and falling into Central Park. I was hoping, because it would have been funny, to see a ball go over the net at some point during the week. To my dismay the net worked as it was intended and the ball never went over. I went to check out the Flowriders. Because there was so much to do on the ship I never made enough time to try the flowrider. I'll make sure to try it out on the Allure next year. Then you can all see me wipeout. Boogie boarding is always on the starboard side while stand up surfing is always on the port side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted October 30, 2013 #139 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Is that Rob Ford? I get your joke. He does look like Mayor Ford doesn't he. Maybe it was the mayor, after all I see a bottle in your second photo and didn't your cruise stop in Jamaica?:p Congrats for competing as I would never do it. Loving your review.

Peacemkr59 Posted October 30, 2013 #142 Share Posted October 30, 2013 We woke up and went to Windjammer for breakfast. Sorry no pictures. Aaron & I went down to Chops Grille to change our reservation. It was pretty booked up already, but they were able to accommodate our change. If you want to book a specialty restaurant, my suggestion is, you should either reserve it before embarking or do it right when you step on board. More pictures from around the ship as we walked to Chops. They say you're not allowed to smoke on your cabin balcony. Judy talked to her room steward (different than mine) who said she would bring an ashtray. She brought Judy this ashtray and said you can smoke on your balcony as long as you don't throw the cigarette into the sea. You can smoke on the balconies until 12/31/2013...after that, their new policy of no smoking on balconies starts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvcruzin Posted October 30, 2013 #143 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hi, I was wondering if Ice Tea is part of the soda package? We will be on the Oasis sailing Feb. 22 and taking my 15 year old daughter. She is not a pop drinker too much but does like Ice Tea, wondering whether the package would be worth it for her? Thanks There is no need to buy a soda package. Iced tea is available all day and included in the fare. Self serve is usually where they have the coffee stations.

Rare perfect match Posted October 30, 2013 #144 Share Posted October 30, 2013 After starting to read your review, I noticed that the Mighty Ships show was on TV tonight. Yep, same one I've probably watched 100 times, too, but I couldn't resist! As I was watching, I realized that a lot of our neighbors were on that sailing. Unfortunately, we were not among them. I had never thought to look for familiar faces in the show. I did look tonight but didn't see any. I am really thinking that either the Oasis or the Allure will have to be the next cruise that we book. DH wants to do it as much as I do, and I really want to go on cruises he likes so he will want to cruise as much as I do. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
