Royal Caribbean Announces Latest for Oasis of the Seas
The Boardwalk is the latest "neighborhood" to be revealed

The largest cruise ship ever built will have a family-focused amusement area called the Boardwalk that will boast a hand-carved merry-go-round, carnival games and a Coney Island atmosphere -- something that has never been tried before on a cruise ship.

The AquaTheater will offer innovative activities both day and night

The AquaTheater, a massive amphitheater around a pool at the back of the ship that will be the site of water-based acrobatic and synchronized swimming shows. During the day the freshwater pool, the largest and deepest ever on a ship, will be open to passengers for swimming and SCUBA lessons.

Fresh cabin designs unveiled, including the industry's first multi-level lofts

On the blueprints are 28 lofts, two-deck-high "loft suites" that will offer expansive ocean views from soaring floor-to-ceiling windows. Each loft, which begin at 545 square ft., features a downstairs living area with a vanity, LCD television and guest bathroom; the upper-level bedroom overlooks this area and also features a master bathroom with his-and-hers shower heads, fog-free mirrors and limestone mosaic tile accents.

Royal Promenade on Oasis will be bigger and better

The Royal Promenade in the center of the vessel will be twice as wide as the ones found on Royal Caribbean's eight Freedom and Voyager class vessels and will run the length of a football field. It will be linked with the ship's Central Park "neighborhood" on the deck above by giant arched skylights, called Crystal Canopies, which will look into the park and sky above. Plus, the Rising Tide bar -- the first moving bar at sea -- will slowly travel up and down between three decks, bringing guests from the Royal Promenade up to Central Park and back again.

AWESOME! I definitely have to check this out. The loft suites sound so cool!

Not entirely sure about this. I was born and bred in Brooklyn, Brighton Beach, right next to Coney Island. My family goes way back in Coney Island.

Not so sure that a Coney Island atmosphere is a good thing.

Sort of like saying they've recreated the enticing atmosphere of a garbage dump or a crack house on the ship.

I'm sure that's something that's never been tried on a ship before either.

Alice was really nice...She turned 40 on the cruise and she and Mike got to sound the horn on the Magic. I asked how they had arranged this and theu said they were not allowed to say??

I know people that got to do that on our cruise...all they did was ask (in advance) and it was arranged.

We got an offer on the house yesterday that we accepted with just a couple of minor changes in our counter offer that do not involve money, so they likely will accept it. WOO HOO!!! Now the troubles....we would have to be out of the house in 3 1/2 weeks and one of those weeks we are traveling to MT and ID. Oh my!! Time to get those closets cleaned out and packed up I think! So, that means I can retire in 5 weeks and 2 days!!!

CONGRATULATIONS

nope just a HOT young mama

Gaylean...I am pretty close with ya...I was 28 when I had Jaide and 31 when I had Taylor (so just a few years later all around). I had this thing in my head that I had to have my first baby at 27...no earlier or later , but Jaide was a bit late and I turned 28 11 days before I had her . So....does that mean I am one kinda HOT kinda young mama Nan?!

I had a patient once come into me because her periods were a bit unregular. She was 45, her youngest was 9 and her eldest was pregnant....first thing I had to do was a pregnancy test and guess what...her youngest is now 6 (and a boy after 5 girls!) and he is the same age as his niece.

Can he practice with single grains of COOKED rice? He could put a piece of rice in his mouth and drink it down with milk or whatever he likes. Maybe by the time the pills are prescribed he will be an old hand at it.

Jan

I plan on having him practice with something. He doesn't eat rice, but it could just be something as simple as me breaking off a tiny bit of anything he's eating and asking him to practice swallowing it with a drink of milk or water. After all, he probably swallows chunks of unchewed food much larger than a little pill. He'll be fine after the first time.... no worries.

 

[edna mode]

you better copy me on that pm, because you know I HAVE to know purely for research

I knew you'd catch that you goofball!

I was 40 when Gretchen was born. The doctor told me NO MORE KIDS. I will be able to take her college education out of my 401K without penalty!!

Brilliant!

We ABSOLUTELY Loved the TransAtlantic on the Magic! I liked it even better than the PC cruise! We would do a TA again, in fact, we've been tossing around the idea of taking the Queen Mary (Cunard) across from New York to Southhampton next year, but if we do that, we will have to put off our Sept Eastern on the Magic.......oh, dear!

I have to agree.

Alice was really nice...She turned 40 on the cruise and she and Mike got to sound the horn on the Magic. I asked how they had arranged this and theu said they were not allowed to say??

Very tricky!

Congrats Angie!!

 

[gaylean93]

Are you talking about THE coin??

Was there another coin

 

[gaylean93]

Why wouldn't you have to fly?

I just figured it would start here. I don't know, where do they start?

 

[HollyTyler]

Tokoyo Disneyland Tokoyo Disneyland

I would love to go there.


How about an around the world cruise? Start in Florida, take one of the NEW ships through the NEW locks of the Panama Canal, stop at LA and go to Disneyland for an excursion, on to Japan and Tokoyo Disneyland, then to Hong Kong for that Disney park, on around India, through the Suez Canal, see something famous in Egypt and Italy, go to the fancy church in Barcelona Spain, across the Atlantic and end at WDW.

OK, I need to be independently wealthy.

Jan

Now THAT'S my kind of cruise! But I'd have to win the lotto to do that!

 

[gaylean93]

I promise I'll make up for it now!!

Alright now we just have to see what's on the itinerary.

My 16 year old brother has a 25 year old nephew!

Dear Holly, How interesting that you are teaching Tyler to take pills......Patrick and Michael have been taking pills since they were his age, I think Mike was even younger, because he refused to take liquid antibiotics as a small child.

ANYWAY, we have just recently decided to teach Patrick to take hid medicine by himself, instead of us poking it in his mouth. Well, surprise surprise! He is doing a GREAT job! I will say that he doesn't like to have his water until after he swallows the pill......also try teaching Tyler to swallow M&M's then he can have some as a reward! And if he accidentally chews one, it won't taste bad.

Good luck!

Good idea Connie, thanks!

 

[HollyTyler]

When Frank was so sick and taking so much medicine and his throat was dry and closed up, a nurse said to put the pills in a spoon of pudding and it is very easy to get down!!

OH, I like that idea best! What kid doesn't like pudding? He'd definitely do that. Thanks!

Lisa,

She is the wife of my close work colleague and is a violin teacher in a non-profit school that develops the musical gifts of inner city children. Her name is Shalisa Kline-Ugaz.

She is incredibly dedicated to the kids.

This past year, one of her students had problems because their family was poor and there were basic problems with their housing. Shalisa, somehow, got Extreme Home Makeover to do a super make over on her student’s family’s home.

Shalisa has gain reputation for such dedication to these kids, that a local television station recently did a news piece on her:

http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=news/someone_you_should_know&id=6159845

Shalisa, unknown to her, was nominated by her boss (the head of the school) for the Energizer Hall of Fame.

She had been chosen as a semi-finalist. The winner is determined, by Internet vote.

Please vote for Shalisa, I think she is a great person and a great inspiration and deserves recognition. You can vote once per day. Also please pass this on to other people.

Here is the link to vote:

Will do! Thanks for repeating it for me.
Lisa
