We just sailed on Oasis from Feb 27 - Mar 6. I would suggest the UDP or at least the 3 Night Dining. We had the 3 night and really enjoyed 150 Central Park. We went there twice. We also did Chops. We had Hibatchi booked but changed it to 150 for the 2nd time as it was that good. We also paid for lunch at Portside BBQ. We were given the tip to share a 3 meat meal between the two of us and it was a ton of food. We didn't even finish it. The chicken was amazing. As for MDR, we usually love to eat there, which is why we didn't by the UDP. However, we were really disappointed in the food in MDR as well as Windjammer. We didn't have a good breakfast anywhere. One other food recommendation though, is the beef dip in the Park Cafe for lunch. Its was delicious. As for COVID testing (should it return), I used the Switch Health tests to board the ship and then we did our tests in our staterooms for us to return home. Canada has since dropped the testing but if it returns, I highly suggest ordering these tests and bringing them with you. The one MUST DO on Oasis is the Aqua 80 show. See it twice if you can!!

We just got back from our cruise on Anthem of the Seas out of NJ this month and to tell you the truth we never made it to the main dining room. The other food choices were just right for us and our daily schedule. We did dine at Chops as well as Jamie's and they were both fantastic! We haven't cruised in 17 years and I used so many of your tips including the magnetic hooks & clips!! The covid tests you get for the cruise were $30 each for us. Have a fantastic time. We already rebooked for next Feb on the same ship since we had such a fantastic time. We live on Long Island so it only a 45 minute drive for us. The parking garage was fantastic as well at $25/day!

We could eat at any of the specialty restaurants as many time as you wanted, Izumi was just an up charge of 10 dollars but worth it. We dined at Jaimes Italian and Chops and enjoyed them all; not that thrilled with the MDR on the Mariner. We walked over to Margaritaville, easy walk, its a beautiful place, did not get pkg but we were allowed to walk around the lower level of the property. We did the excursion at coco cay beach club at CoCo Cay Very nice, excellent service. Great food, lobster and and shrimp, the only complaint is the vegetables were over cooked. The plates appetizers were wonderful The grouper was bland to me but my son enjoyed it😂

Our booking was more or less a surprise booking. We try to do 2 cruises a year and have already done Anthem back in April 2022. We were booked on Enchantment back in July, however my mother was feeling a bit off in the days leading up to the cruise, so my Dad got in touch with our TA and placed a hold on Oasis as a contingency plan. It's a good thing he did, as my mother tested positive during the pre-cruise testing. Our hold on Oasis turned into a booking. Between you, me, and KZbin, I think Oasis much better suited for my soon-to-be 10 year old co-host, who is my niece. She knows about the trip, as she was supposed to come with us on Enchantment, so when we canceled that cruise, we told her about this one since we promised her she could come on Enchantment. Mom is much better and has now been cleared of COVID.

We sailed on Oasis in December and had a great time. The ship is great and they have some really nice specialty restaurants. You can get several multi night specialty restaurant packages. We sail Royal on a consistent basis so we have tried all the restaurants (multiple times) and we like them all but our favorite is 150 Central Park. Lots of variety and the food is wonderful. It may not apply to you but if you happen to own 100 shares of Royal Caribbean stock you can document it to them about a month or so before your cruise and get onboard credit. For a 7 night cruise you get $100. For our 14 night cruise next month we get $250. Hope you have a great time.

I’m not much on hot dogs but my friends that we went with ,just loves them. So I followed him on this and was pleasantly surprised. Give the dog a try. I think you’ll like them also. You’ll find it right across from the merry go round on the left side facing aft. I think it’s the Boardwalk neighborhood? Enjoy your trip.

First the Playmakers sportsbar is a great addition as well as The Portside BBQ. It has additional cost for food but its a great value and awesome food. I recommend the experience of the Main Dining room, the menu has something new everyday and if you have the same table and time every night, they will surprise you with special appetizers not on the menu. Enjoy your trip, the Oasis is amazing. I will go again in August with my daughters and grandchildren from New York city. A 40 minute drive.

However the one thing we really wanted to book was Izumi hibachi, and I was informed that’s not including with the dining package. We decided to not do a dining package and paid for only that restaurant advance and we might do 150 Central Park another night. We were on anthem in 2020 and the food in the main dining room and solarium bistro is really good, so plenty of free things to enjoy. I’ve also heard that if you get an unlimited dining package you can’t make reservations before you board? So that’s another thing to keep in mind

Best sushi I ever had on any cruise ever. The cooking at the tables there was good. We loved the Winjammer too. Great choices, healthy is also there, but tasty. Lol. Many choices. Park Avenue cafe was great too. Great salad bar etc. sorrentos for pizza, heard it was great, but too full to try it, lol. Oh, there is a place I can’t think of the name. Best chicken ever!

Great videos, very informative. I'm will be going on the exact same cruise this July as my first ever cruise. I'm torn with regards to the deluxe drink package. I'm not a heavy alcohol drinker, last vacation I went on, at most 3 beers a day (twice) the other days maybe 1-2 beers. If it not for the requirement that my wife also get the package I would just get it for peace of mind. My wife doesn't drink alcohol, soda, or coffee, literally only drinks water and tea. As for coffee, I'm a plain coffee drinker no specialty coffee for me so the complimentary coffee is fine. I've also heard that diamond members get 4 alcoholic drinks each per day complimentary, not totally sure on that. If that's the case, my in-laws who are also going are both diamond members who also don't drink. I decided on the soda package as I do drink soda, and we also have the water package ( case of water delivered to our room). Sorry for the long drawn out message, basically what I'm asking is, do you think I should opt for the deluxe package or stay like I am. Thanks in advance.

Hi Ilanna, enjoying your channel. We are sailing on the Oasis in May 2022. First cruise back since the lockdown. Will you be letting viewers know your sail date?

We are taking our 2 nieces on the Oasis in April. I was thinking of doing one speciality dining night. My one niece LOVES sushi 🍣, my husband will eat anything, I think my other niece likes sushi, but it’s not her favorite. I on the other hand, do NOT like sushi at all. Is there something there that I can eat? Is it kind of like a Benihana where they prepare and cook food right at your table? So I could get cooked food while they all enjoy their raw food? Thank you for your help.

I will go on my first cruise next month, do they have a spa? And if they do is it a package?

Please report on the app: whether it stays connected while you are using it, can you select 2 or more interest for the calendar, is there a way to go from movie list to find out what day it is playing, etc.

Did you book Magaritaville directly to the hotel?

Plan to go around September 2022, from what I have heard it’s a bit more empty like half capacity. I do really want a ocean view though since it’s not that busy then, is it more likely I’ll get an ocean view (since that’s more desirable)

Short drive from Canada to New Jersey? 😅 I guess 12 hours as whole isn’t that bad I guess compares the rest of US

The Main Dining Room has great food and if you don't like something they will take it back and bring you something else or adjust the current dish to your liking. We do not book specialty restaurants. There is plenty of amazing food already included.

New Jersey??? Yuck!!!! I know.. you'll drive to the port... Please let us know how well maintained the ship is since it was "amplified" in 2019. Is The Key still available?

Can you recommend a hotel near the port in cape liberty?

Interesting video with useful tips. One comment I don’t understand is what is sticker shock ? Think it must be a North Americanism ? Thanks
@kimrogers31412 жыл бұрын
Sticker shock is an expression meaning that when someone looks at the price "tag" or "sticker" and they see a high price, they are "shocked" because they didn't expect the price to be so high.

Thank you. Makes sense now. I have seen it used lots of times and I can see why now . Very apt description. 😀

I have a question. If you have booked an excursion is there somewhere u need to download the "tickets" and bring them with you or will the cabin attendent put them in your room? We are sailing on a celebrity cruise in may and i really like to have my things sorted but kinda confused about that one :)

You'll get an e-mail telling you when you can check in. Now it's usually at 30 days.

I'd be interested to know what the seas were like on your sail to and from the Caribbean, it could be a little rough even for a large ship. I hope not and you have calm weather. You have about a 6 1/2 hr drive from Montreal plus I would be interested in the hotel and area mentioned in the video and the parking.
