Finally. I thought this week would never come. It's been a grueling six months since we slowly crawled off the Quantum on all fours. However now it's time for us to stand upright, turn around and moonwalk our way back on to the Oasis. (Cue the Michael Jackson Billie Jean 8-track. Where is my 1984 red leather zipper jacket?)

 

This will be my first time buying the unlimited wifi package so I had this revolutionary idea to post LIVE from the ship. It's an unheard of move! And to make this LIVE review even more LIVE---LI---ER, I will periodically periscope throughout the trip. (periscope name is @yorkvillain). I'll also post some god awful pictures and provide some terrible commentary.

 

Here are two photos that I took of the Oasis while flying around with my jet pack:

Tentative schedule:

 

Wednesday, 9/2 (herein known as "Day Minus 3" or "Day -3") The last day of work, pack, try to get to store before midnight because I forgot to buy dental floss, athletes foot cream and about 12-15 other items

 

Thursday, 9/3 (Day -2. Hey, I stay on ship's time) Fly to Orlando, grab rent-a-car, drive to Mom's house in Sebastian, FL. Have gigantic dinner in Sebastian and stay over night at Mom's house.

 

Friday, 9/4 (Day -1) Hopefully devour a King Kong-sized breakfast that Mom whips up (**clears throat**, Mom you reading this? hint, hint), drive to Boca, check-in at Wyndham Boca Raton for one night so Courtney can go out with her best friend who lives in Boca while I grab 500 one-dollar bills and go to a Gentlemen's Club. I mean wait, what?!?! No that's not it. I mean, while I go to Primanti Brothers for a big 'ol sandwich and then to the casino to play poker.

Saturday, 9/5 (Day 1) Throw a dump truck sized bucket of ice water on Courtney in an attempt to wake her up and remind her that today is CRUISE DAY! Drive to Avis at Hyatt Pier 66, drop off car, take Avis shuttle to Port Everglades to board the ship and then sprint as fast as I can while hurdling every child and knocking over every Senior Citizen so that I can get to the Park Cafe and destroy my first two beef on wecks of the week.

Sunday, 9/6 (Day 2 - Nassau) Junkanoo Beach OR we get lazy and stay on the ship. If you are a gambler, bet on option B.

Monday, 9/7 (Day 3 - Sea Day) Complain at Guest Services that my on-board credit has not shown up on my account yet; Comedy Club at 10:30pm

 

Tuesday, 9/8 (Day 4 - St. Thomas) Snorkeling and delicious Bushwackers at Coki Beach

 

Wednesday, 9/9 (Day 5 - St. Maarten) Holland House, dodge and deny every vendor that even looks at me

 

Thursday, 9/10 (Day 6 - Sea Day) Complain about how fat I’ve become on this trip and pledge to only eat steamed brussels sprouts until Thanksgiving

 

Friday, 9/11 (Day 7 - Sea Day) Drink 47 gallons of water, jam an IV in my arm to recoup from the past week’s damage

 

Saturday, 9/12 (Turn out the lights, the party's over)

What would one need to do to watch the live Periscope feed on a Windows PC?

 

Bob, it's much simpler to just download the periscope app from either the play store (android device) or the istore and follow that way if not you will need to install an emulator on your pc I think it's called andy for adroid but not positive hope this helps.
