On Oasis this coming winter - looking forward to seeing it amped up.
During the amplification, would they do things like replace all the carpeting? I had been on Allure many times and it wasn’t until I was on Symphony right before going on Allure this winter that I realized just how dingy the carpeting in the stateroom hallways looked compared to the bright new carpeting on Symphony, and even Harmony. I assume Oasis’ carpeting shows even more wear being older than Allure. I hope things like that are addressed on Oasis this year and Allure next year.
For stateroom door locks and upgrading the POS terminals/gangway scanners, etc: With RC’s desire to continue to integrate more technology with their app, embarkation, etc, upgrading locks would seem logical to do. If the technology is ready to do, perhaps one of the soon to be amped ships could be the first to allow you to use your phone to unlock your stateroom. A magnetic strip & bar code on back is becoming an obsolete technology. (Not to mention the annoyance of going to guest services for a new card when the strip stops working). If it doesn’t get changed now, it will make the ship seem so outdated just a few years from now, with no opportunity to do the upgrade until the next major drydock years down the road. I have no idea what the cost would be for the undertaking, though.
