KathyC Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Great pictures! It was fun sailing with you. Rather than comment on individual pictures, I can offer a few comments: - noise from above. One of our group was in deck 14 under the cantilever hot tubs. Noise day and night from the jets. She has a video of the sound around 2:30am on her FB page. Do not book those cabins! -did you notice the incorrect signage for Portside & El Loco Fresh in the stairway? They point you in the wrong direction for each. Tony & I were laughing about it when a ship's officer was nearby, and he was so annoyed they missed it! I think he was one of the proofreaders of the signs... The outdoor solarium deck can be super windy. One day we watched loungers & stools go flying. Within minutes of a passenger reporting it to bar staff, there was multiple crew members stacking and securing everything. The app games in the posters outside of Playmakers were fun, definitely a learning curve to do well.

I can't remember if it always had high tops or not but it is otherwise unchanged including the water features that remain below It looks similar to Dec 2018 from what I recall. There were definitely high tops then but I think the high tops are the same as those or they were black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted December 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 The Bionic Bar New to Oasis this robot driven bar was first introduced on Quantum class and later appeared on newer Oasis class ships. R.I.P Champagne Bar that used to be located in this space. If you purchase the deluxe beverage package it does include the Bionic Bar.

twangster Posted December 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Sugar Beach First appearing on Symphony of the Seas, now on the newly amplificated Oasis of the Seas. I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream... Some toppings for your ice cream if you want. You can order ice cream from the take out window directly on the boardwalk. Candy is priced at $0.93 per ounce. Take a bag and fill it with whatever tickles your sugar bone. Sugar Beach is a natural addition to a boardwalk.

twangster Posted December 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Aqua80 The new Aqua show is a big hit and very well done. It's a perfect mix of great music, water action and diving. What really makes this show is the music and if you are familiar with the Back to The Future movies you'll feel right at home with the opening song and hoverboard action. There are still some very artistic pieces but set to music of the 80's it's a good mix. Of course they have some slack line action... As well as some high wire thrills... With lots of core diving skills. All in all a very good show you'll want to see more than once.

twangster Posted December 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 One Sky The is a new Royal Caribbean original production. I found this an interesting show although I did struggle with the flow of the show at times or how it relates to the sky, or one sky. So I just looked at each segment on it's own without worrying about the overall message. Strong vocals and enjoyable as long as you are not expecting a story with a distinct beginning, middle and ending.

twangster Posted December 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Cats I attended Cats on my last Oasis cruise so I didn't see it again this time around. Previously it was a 2 hour show with a 30 minute intermission. My understanding is that they've revised that to a 90 minute show without an intermission.

IRMO12HD Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Fantastic virtual tour! I'm really excited about cruising on Allure in November 2020 after her amplification. One question -- what is the futuristic looking white circle in the Solarium? I noticed water and jets -- is it a shower? Or just a water feature? I've not yet been on an Oasis class ship. twangster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you line up the elevators it does appear that 14558 is underneath the edge of one of the whirlpools. https://cruisedeckplans.com/DP/deckplans/dragdeck.php?ship=Oasis-of-the-Seas&zoom=1 bossdog421 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
