Float out starts around 4 p.m., 4:30 p.m.

 

And yes, the dock will take a long while to fill. We'll just see the beginning today.

Hi, Liz. It's cold in a good way. Ran into Richard Fain at breakfast and he said that after spending yesterday on the ship, he was literally frozen -- and had a good ol' Finnish sauna last night to thaw out!

 

Carolyn

 

Hi Carolyn

 

I bet Richard is wishing he could warm up like in this pic-

Hi Liz, this is Brenda from the cruise we took years ago on the Navigator of the Seas (2004) with you and your son. Are you thinking of cruising on the Oasis? I really want to and am going to try to talk my husband into booking in Jan or Feb 2010.

 

I am really looking forward to hearing about the Oasis of the Seas's Float out.

 

Brenda

 

Hi Brenda :D

 

Yes as my Critter Sister Brenda posted above (thanks Sis) I am on the Inaugural sailing of Oasis,wish you and DH could join us in this one :D

Taking Alex and his GF on the Navigator in May :D

It's absolutely amazing to think that in just over a year from now we'll be sailing on this incredible ship. Now I don't think I can get anything done today! I'm going to get another cup of coffee and joinin you Brenda for as long as I can stay put!

By the way,,,is that Vicki Freed standing on the side in a wet suit clapping??

 

This is a great photo!

 

Thanks I was quite chuffed at myself for taking that pic, darn reporters etc kept getting in my way and yes I think it is Vicki at the side...heck I never noticed her there before. :D That is on the Indy Naming Ceremony sailing.

 

I wonder if Richard will have a preference for which Flowrider he issues his challenge on, on the Oasis?

That's very cool that you were there! Yeah, those darn reporters....getting in your way. Not so nice but you did great none the less! Great photo and I do think that's her. You need to send it to them.

Maybe they'll pay you....hmmmm.
