Semi LIVE Review:Oasis of the Seas - June 21, 2014 - Western Caribbean

[clochette]

really looking forward to reading more

[Hypo]

Are you saying the GOES cost $125?

 

I believe that is correct. Check into TSA's Pre-Check; it is $85.00/pp for 5 years

[JoCruiser]

ILC are you going to try any of the specialty restaurants?

Hilton Ft Lauderdale Marina Lobby pics:

 

[ILuvCruisin']

The Hilton is only 5 minutes from the pier so once me and Ms. Rosalee found each other in the lobby we got a taxi and in no time at all Ms. Oasis was sitting right in front of us.

 

For newbies you leave your bags with bag checkers (with a tip) and go into the terminal to check in. Have passport and SetSail Pass available and then proceed thru the security check point. Make sure you have meds, swimsuit, and anything you may need because you may not see your bags you left outside with the checkers until after dinner.

 

Ms. Rosalee goes thru security just fine. My bag is put thru X-ray twice and then I hear the security person who is checking the X-ray of my bag say "cork screw". SAY WHAT?!!!! Did she say Cork Screw? Where? Who has a cork screw? Me? Dang it!! Now the security person who checks bags for naughty items has my bag and is escorting it over to the counter.

 

Me: No sir I do not have a cork screw but if I did what difference would it make? If you're allowed to bring wine on why can't you bring a cork screw?

Is the price of the taxi per person or 3 people can fit that's the price?

 

Trenise the $17.50 Airport to Hotel and $10.00 Hotel to Pier are per taxi.

Hey ilc, i know your having a ball on the ship...i was just wondering, is the hotel walking distance to the pier.

 

I know, i know...bags and stuff would be a burden.

But i just wonder if that is an option?

 

Thanks, for letting us landlubbers cruise with u...lol

Port Everglades is huge, and not pedestrian friendly. I would not even attempt to walk to the ship, even if someone dropped me off at the main entrance to the port.

How did you enjoy Chops? I've been reading a lot of negative reviews about Chops. Do they have the new menu?

[ILuvCruisin']

You are welcome A&L_Ont.

 

Ok, look for me Saturday. I'll be easy to spot. I'll be the one kicking and screaming as they carry me off the ship!:o
