While you were at Playmakers, did you notice if they allowed anyone to sit at the bar?

They had all of the barstools blocked at playmakers. I don’t think I have see any bars with seats available.

Departure timing for tomorrow. The first slot is at 8:45.  That’s really late in my experience.

Agreed.  We checked GPS and we aren't that far out.  But according to the noon announcement today, the pilot boards at 6:00am, we go under the bridge at 7:00am, and dock at 8:00am.

no real need to rush people off  when the next cruise isn't for about a week.

Same for us on the 10/17 cruise.  It was on the planner previously but I waited to see what times the shows were on the test cruise and now it's gone.

Just checked and it is there today.   Go to 'plan my cruise' and choose dining/beverage.  Click on Solarium Bistro and add to cart.  Then you choose day and time you want to dine.

so which ship did you like better Ovation or Oasis???  I have done both class ships before.

 

I am doing Ovation on 10th of Sept and Oasis on 17th October.  

Also how safe did you feel flying across country in a plane.

For anyone who did the Oasis Test Cruise. Was it obvious that there were anyone from the CDC on board? And, with your return has anyone who's booked on the September 5th sailing been given any notification that the Oasis got the Ok to take on paying passengers in a little over a week.

My husband and I are on the Sept. 5 sailing and we definitely haven't heard that it WON'T be sailing. And considering the message that just went out from Michael Bayley included a sentence that said Oasis would be sailing on Sept. 5, then I am assuming that we are a go!

Oasis received CDC certification on September 30th.  They can now start taking our money again.  We will be making our contribution on 9/16.

There were quite a few “Suits” out and about but not in an obvious way.

Where did you find this info? According to the CDC site, we are still waiting for approval: https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/cruise/cruise-ship-color-status.html

Bayley said it in his latest email that came today. Every ship that has gone through a test cruise has passed.

Orange means it was in test mode, when passengers are allowed on 9/5 it will go to yellow for observation mode.  Someday hopefully soon all ships will go green. Most green now are for crew only.

That's not how the cdc site explains the color coding system.     There are several ships in "green" that have just crew only onboard.     Orange, yellow and red pertains to how many covid cases of crew and passengers exist is what I read.   If a ship turns Red that is bad!    We don't ever want to see that.

It still says simulated, which is what scares me! I am sailing this weekend on oasis, so here's to hoping it changes soon.

The CDC hasn't updated the website. Don't worry about it.

Oasis' status has been Simulated for well over a month - the info on the CDC site is not always accurate.

Someone just started a topic that he heard that the Sept. 5 sail was being  cancelled.  Any iota of truth?

Just got my C test and I would be annoyed.

They apologized the way they worded it. They asked the moderator to remove the post before causing panic attacks. They meant that their reservation had been cancelled for some reason or another.
