Lite drizzle but things are back open

Didn’t make it to the floating bar but they did relieved the soccer pool it was slightly lopsided before making a game impossible. 
 

I’ll assuming these are free beach strollers and wheelchairs-first come first serve?

It's not "this time" (June) next year, it's Aug 2, 2024.  Also, his quote is refundable deposit and I'm assuming for connecting cabins.

 

Is the price you mentioned a group rate?

Regular refundable rate.  I would have to change my dates if the difference was that much.

No wheelchairs but they had a large golf cart taking folks through if they needed it. 

Not trying to take over but no wheelchairs or carts at Cape Canaveral.

Do the shops at the new straw market inside the port area have anything different than what is sold at the original one? How is the prices? I missed the opening last month by a few days.

[DeerJod]

New menu tonight supposedly never served on oasis before.

Didn’t bother to be honest, all the stores selling similar stuff the further you walk the cheaper the prices. Kid wanted a stuffed animal, went from 55 to 35 to 25 for the same one in 3 different stores in subsequent blocks.

I like the choices on that new menu, how was the buffalo chicken dip? Sailing on Oasis in September, I hope they keep this menu option.

 

also thanks for the great live review!

Buffalo dip was fine, the chip allocation was interesting some had a lot others only had 6-7 so make sure you leave some bread. It was not very spicy. 
 

Those that had the fish absolutely loved it, I chose poorly with the lobster Mac. It had a very fishy taste to it so I stopped half way. If I could do it over I’d try the fried chicken. 
 

Every crew member seems to want to go out of their way to make sure you have an amazing experience. We have had nothing but fantastic experiences with each and every crew member we’ve encountered.

Horns blowing in Central Park and the Yankees on in schooner. 

[DeerJod]

For you non smokers, these are the slots in the non smoking area of the casino that took the place of jazz on 4. Nice space with rather clean air!

Lizards and birds for sure live in here by the way.

[gowensricks]

That menu looks fantastic! We certainly did not have anything like that on Harmony a couple of weeks ago!

Alright day 6, has begun. Quick stop to the diamond lounge for coffee donuts and fruit. Going to try for a long run and then a bourbon soaked afternoon. Port side bbq was awesome last time so I think we’re gonna do that again today. 
 

hope everyone’s enjoying the free ride

Hey!   It's National Bourbon Day!!!😁  Drink up but drink responsibly, especially if driving the ship🙃.

[DeerJod]

Got after it this morning, was probably closer to 7 miles but I’ll take it. Long Island for breakfast. 

[DeerJod]

Baby is sleeping so we’ll do a quick nap time before port side BBQ. 

[Sea Dog]

I hope you are drinking Bourbon today. Cheers it's National Bourbon Day!

 

[DeerJod]

Work and nap complete, up to port side for live music. Busy busy pool deck and port side today.

Port side staff noticed my wife sitting with our baby on her lap and brought out a high chair and extra max and cheese for something while we waited. These workers are the best I’ve ever experienced after a few collective months at sea.
