I was on Harmony and we were docked next to Anthem on the 30th in San Juan. ? ?
 
There were a lot of people sick on Harmony when we left on the 26th too.  At one of the ice shows there was a whole group of sick people right behind me hacking everywhere.

Wow great photos! Totally jealous... I'm going to need to invest in an actual camera so I can kick it up a notch for my next live blog!

We checked ours one night on Harmony.. We had the deluxe package.. The screen went on for about 8 pages.. Yep.. we got ship-faced lol

The transformation is especially evident at night as the pool deck explodes into color.







The pools are ringed with color changing lighting that continually rotates through the color spectrum.

Still plenty of hot tubs around the pool deck.


Naturally the cantilever infinity hot tubs remain and are as gorgeous as they have always been.

A huge change for Oasis of the Seas is the addition of the Perfect Storm water slides.




The entrance and stairs for all three slides is on deck 15 port side.









 



The slides are a lot of fun and they've been open even on port days when there are no lines and you can slide and slide again.

The new Diamond Club located on deck 4.

The brand new lounge is fresh with modern decor.  It's actually a really nice venue.





The club includes two workstations and a printer.  The new Oasis doesn't currently have an internet lounge or computer area in any public place on the ship.  For Diamond and above members this will be the place to print those boarding passes. 


Water is available throughout the day.

The popular specialty coffee maker is available in the new lounge.

Like Harmony and Symphony, the Diamond Concierge has their desk near the entrance.

You can use this deck drag tool to see what's above and below your stateroom.  If you line up the elevators it does appear that 14558 is underneath the edge of one of the whirlpools.

I was just in an overwater this past saturday. The price I locked in months ago was $1,499. I was looking every day for decreases. Only thing I saw were increases. Right before my sailing the final price was at $1,649.

Subjective. The views are different. One will see overwater cabanas to the side the other will see a cove like spot. One was 2 rows deep (breezy) other was 3 rows deep. Regular chill island ones are probably quieter because the breezy bay ones are close to the  pool.
 
Both would be great.

I was told we could not pick. But I do have insight if they let you pick.
 
I was in cabana 10. There are 2 sections 1-10 and 11-20. 1-5 were not ready to be occupied, 6 -10 were "ready" but there were some unfinished parts to the cabana. Little details not everyone would even notice... like the decorative ropes were only on some poles. Cabana 9 didn't have curtains... etc. I was told 11-20 were 100% but I was not over there to confirm.
 
Cabanas # 1, 10, 11, 20 will have the most view as there is nothing on multiple sides. You will also have more swim space until you are in someone else's area. However they will get the most wind (very noticable on my day where there was 20+ mph winds).
 
I would say the least desirable would be # 4, 7, 14, and 17 as they are sunk back in and you will be the backs of other cabanas on 2 different sides. I would have been unhappy in these locations. However these would also get almost no wind. While there was noticable choppy water on all sides of my cabana I could see # 7 had no chop at all.
 
All of the other cabanas would be perfectly fine.
 
This map explains what I am talking about.
 

I just bought it.  ? The fact that my husband will be over at the waterpark in the morning sealed it for me.  Also this is a trip about relaxation for me so the easier the better. 

@bossdog421 caught a photo of the beds and posted it in his live blog:
 

I can confirm. Tons of beach beds close to the overwater cabana area.
 

I've only been on 2 cruises. One was the Disney Dream the other was Harmony of the Seas. Royal is more my speed. I really liked the size and features of the ship.
 
I have not been of fan of any of the ports in the Caribbean and Bahamas outside of the private owned islands, castaway cay / coco cay.
 
I would probably enjoy the Canadian ports more but honestly I'm more interested in the ship. I could see my daughter not enjoying the Canadian ports at all.
 
The amp up on freedom looks nice but not sure I'd get much use out of that new pool deck in october by Canada lol. I'll have to double check the itenteraries again to see if there is something else in summertime. Or suck it up and go south again

Same situation with us on the Symphony in the fall. A foundation garment was in our bottom bathroom drawer.  We didnt want our suite attendant to think it was ours ... so we mentioned it. While no hazmat suit was involved ... rubber gloves, plastic disposal bags and a can of disinfectant spray all quickly came into play. ?

But, if you didn't touch them.....how do you not know if they were your size?

Been on Anthem and Freedom and they are both great ships.   Oasis with the amplification looks to be amazing as well and we will sail on her later this year.
Pick the itinerary that appeals to you and let the ship happen.   LOL!   

@bossdog421, usually the best way to deal with an issue is while on-board. Once you are off, you pretty much lose all leverage and voice.  You could try to send email to Michael Bayley’s office ([email protected]) not sure how much good that would do though or [email protected].  
 
In the future, if  you don’t feel the response from the manager was good enough, try to speak to either the guest services manager or the hotel director.

Time of year depends on which itenterary and ship we pick really. If we go into the Bahamas or Caribbean I would do with sometime between March and June. If it's a  Canadian destination, probably around October.
 
 

I just got off Harmony on Sunday and stayed in the Crown Loft Suite! It was great.
