LIVE...Oasis- May 22

[mets123]

Breakfast was a joke this morning. At 8:45 the wait for the Windjammer was at least an hour. The line for deck three breakfast wrapped twice around the elevator banks. I saw the hotel director at the top tier event and asked about the long wait. His response, "We didn't have any problem I was aware of".

Did you try the Solarium Bistro or Park Cafe?

How full is ship? Why is there a wait?

They aren’t ready for the numbers I guess. Enjoy- your on a ship!

Both were available but with not many available tables. My wife is in a scooter which makes it very trying in the Park Cafe. We got to the Windjammer today and got in. FYI, the Windjammer eliminate the omelette stations.

This does not bode well for my cruise next week.  They can't manage to serve passengers in a reasonable amount of time.  I'm flummoxed.

How did dinner and lunch go?

for us they were both good. selection in windjammer for lunch is definitely much less than we’re used to. dinner in MDR has been good, nothing spectacular but not bad. MDR was not very busy tonight

we spent most of today recovering from last night. had a late night in the casino and Blaze, may have had a few too many 😂 i was surprised how busy the pool decks were today considering its a port day. granted, it is port canaveral so its understandable. 

 

we went to the ice show before dinner, having dinner now, then the Aqua show later on. we are really excited for that. 

 

the ship feels very full and they have run out of a lot of things. it seems like you need to have a back up drink order everywhere you go because they’re usually out of your first choice. not a huge deal, i know its an issue far beyond RCL’s control, just something we noticed

It actually is in their control.  Not enough supplies or staff to serve the number of passengers?  Reduce the passenger count.

I wonder if this issue will be at least partially resolved after restocking from port canaveral?  I'm on this ship/itinerary next week so curious to hear.

 

Also, any insight on whether the breakfast wait times at Coastal Kitchen have been just as long at WJ and MDR?  We'll be cruising with my 16 month old so want to make sure we give ourselves plenty of lead time for breakfast if the waits are going to be crazy since toddlers don't always give you much runway before a meltdown! 🙂

Any theme nights?

See you on board if we're lucky.  I've already warned dh to be prepared for crowds.

very true.. i was trying to be polite lol. they have many bars out of stock of various things, but if you go in the liquor store on board there is plenty of it if you want to buy it. doesn’t make much sense to me lol

still had many things out last night, and we were at port canaveral two days ago. they did restock the vanilla ice cream.. but as far as everything else, it doesn’t seem like they did. many bars still out of popular liquors, no olives/olive juice, etc 

 

we aren’t in a suite so i’m not sure about CK! yesterday the wait for the windjammer wasn’t that terrible. we’re trying the MDR this morning to see

i don’t believe so, but there was only a line the first night for MDR 

[allisonb22]

yesterday was a great day in CocoCay, we loved the oasis pool and south beach. we went back and forth between the two and had an awesome time. we went to the Love and Marriage show after dinner which was very funny, we’re so happy they brought that back. always one of our favorites 

 

this morning we heard “alpha alpha alpha” followed by a few other announcements. then later heard a “kilo, kilo, kilo” shortly after we heard the 7 short horn blasts followed by one long, (freaked out for a minute) and then they came on and said its for a crew drill and guests don’t have to do anything. phew. 

 

heading to MDR this morning for breakfast… we got a late start and slept in today. we are in Nassau but staying on the ship to hopefully enjoy a less crowded pool deck (we’ll see)

This is definitely a concern for us. We cruise Sunday with our 2 kids. I can understand it’s crowded but this makes it near impossible. One of the reasons we love cruising with our kids is the ease and accessibility to everything.

Coastal Kitchen has been fine.  NO waits and great service!  We are a party of 12 and have not had any Issues.  Food has been very good too!
