Thanks for your play-by-play.  When will you know if the ship passed the CDC's review?

 

Hopefully before August 8 😉

referring to Lounge in CK....Concierge lounge?  whatever you call it

 

Sorry if not clear earlier.

 

It wasn't open as far as I know

 

We are all in balconies, no suite guests

 

Currently, Pins not allowed in SL, and no free drinks, so really no point.

 

CK was by invite only

We got it as well. 

 

I understand Oasis should do one.

Fingers crossed for you

That would be very nice.  I would jump on that in second.  Thanks again for taking us along on your trip.

Haven't heard any announcements yet to get off. Maybe they will let us stay on for another few days. 😁

Thank you for sharing your live review. Great to get others perspective as we get back to cruising.  Looked like a great time although short.  Now you can get some rest 😎

[Ukigirl]

The shortest review ever yet one of the most satisfying, thanks for taking us along John.

[Lionesss]

Catching up on most of the review today. Never got time after 5 am yesterday to get on CC. Enjoyed reading about your adventures. I know you have probably motivated more and more people to post live in future.  ( 🤔). 

Thanks again.

No announcement per se. It's on the TV.

We are home

[John&LaLa]

PSA - as mentioned earlier, turn TV on in room to see your departure number called. Or look at the wayfindets in elevator lobbies

 

Deposit bin for our tracelets

 

Quarantine departure 😉

 

Most likely a simulation 

 

Nice ambulance🤣🤣

How was that drink? Did you enjoy it?  Does it taste very different from a regular Cosmo?

It says its made with Malibu Rum, I bet it's tasty...at least to a rumhead like me! LOL

Breakfast menu for the QR folks

 

I had Eggs Benedict😁

I showed the pic to my favorite bar tender last Friday and he made one for me it was one I would drink again but it had a lot of coconut flavor so I have to be in the right frame of mind for it because I am not a coconut fan.

 

Mixing it with my normal Friday Margarita was probably not a good idea since it was sweet where the Margarita was sour.  Talk about pucker when I finished it and took a drink of the Margarita.

While packing up my 'wine', I realized my fridge never worked. Totally warm.  

 

Off to MDR for breakfast with the lovely LaLa

Imagine fridges were unplugged for last 16 months, they probably forgot.

FWIW, an empty ship isn't as fun as you think😉

 

I would guess that 3000 guests would be a good number.  Maybe even a little more.  There would still be plenty of room everywhere but also enough people to generate some fun energy.  Very strange looking at some of your empty pictures.

[ReneeFLL]

We're here.

Light was on, and it sounded like compressor was running. Repirted it to cabin steward.

 

That's also when I asked about departure announcements. 

 

I ended up leaving cabin 10 minutes early

I know one thing, they've been adding cabins back to our Sept 12 going forward.  At times, suites were sold out now they've added some back AT A PREMIUM.  Our cabin which cost 1890 after discounts, is now $4k!!!!! Just a lowly D4. I imagine they'll be tweaking the capacity right along.

I've noticed the same thing on our Christmas and New Years cruises on SY.  For EVER there were no J3's available on the NY cruise but suddenly there are.  I think they are slowly increasing capacity.

Thank you so much for taking us along on your mini vacation. 🙂
