Of course the term 'nerds' is being use in a loving and gentle way.

I am not sure how many of you will attend CLIA's Cruise3sixty but among the programs for participants is the Oasis of the Seas "Aqua Theater Experience".

Since I will be attending and shoot photos and videos as much as I can or am allowed to (will be uploaded to my webshots account) I was wondering if any of you has any particular questions or interest for the reception prior to the event.

Just make a list and I will try to get as much answered as possible.

Also, I am not sure if they have that huge model of Oasis there but if they do (and I know there was some discussion about it) are there any details any of you would like to have a picture of.

The AT Experience is on 4-2-09.

It was Esther Williams. I was on a cruise with her a few years ago.

Can you ask if they have decided how to divide the guests for the Aquatheatre shows. I hope it's an official date and time assigned, I don't want to wait for more tickets.

You mean like either the production shows (early and late seating) or more like the ice shows (set times for everybody?

I'm not sure if you can get answers just yet, but I'm curious to know what new shops will be in the promenade on Oasis? If the model is there, please take a close up picture of the dining room, it was hard to see in the other photos posted. Thanks and enjoy!

LOL Mike. You mean the Esther Williams look? I can see it now. I know several folks that were invited compliments of Royal Caribbean. Looking forward to what all they find out from the event.

I believe some 1500 were invited. Its really not an exclusive event. I am surprised that I am the only one who offered to collect questions and talking points of people. But then again I am also not the type of person who jumps up AFTER the fact and screams "guess where I was".

Since there are no questions or no points of interest I guess this thread can safely be deleted.

My question is that with 5000+ guest it is going to be hard to organize who goes to what show. So would they be using a set show time that you are told to go to like they do with the early and late dinner determining your show time, or would they have tickets like they do with the ice skating.
