Cats staying on the ship has to be the most disappointing aspect to the Amped news. I won't be wasting my time dealing with it that's for sure.

I've only seen the touring version many years ago, which is the only thing I have to compare it to, so maybe my expectations were lower.

I do understand the criticism and am thankful that someone told me to read up on the story as it is hard to follow what is going on. Maybe more on topic is that I am amazed that it is staying for another drydock cycle. I shared last September that the stage manager on the back stage tour said that he was given word that a brand new mixing board was being installed which is a sign of a new production. He also shared that the current agreement with Cats allows for a finite number of cast cycles. Well, renegotiation won the day.

DublinFC Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Hello All, So with the new features on the Oasis I have read for 2020 she will be sailing from Miami and New York. I am currently booked on her for a Dec sailing out of Fort Lauderdale and there has been no mention of Fort Lauderdale in any of the announcements I have read so far. So I am wondering if I should be on the look out for a change in itinerary or cancellation? With the change over in England has me a touch concerned. Or, am I jumping the gun? I know I have a lot of time between now and the sailing, but I have a lot planned for it already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twangster Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Unlikely they'll change existing home ports. When she returns from Europe in November 2019 she sails to Miami. All December sailings in 2019 through to May 2020 are based in Miami. In May 2020 she leaves for a summer in Bayonne (close to New York city). In October 2020 she leaves Bayonne and sails to Ft. Lauderdale where she spends the 2020/2021 winter. The truth is Ft. Lauderdale and Miami are ~ 25 miles apart. I often fly in Ft. Lauderdale when sailing from Miami for the cheaper domestic airfare. Not that I think they would ever change her home port for booked cruises, but even if they did it would not be an issue. tiny260, DublinFC and The Cruise Junkie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some time in the future she may go someplace else, one rumor is Galveston, but I think we are all going to have to wait until Oasis 5 comes out and her home port is announced.

The canceling is more of the concern. Again I doubt it, but since I had not found the above info it was a slight concern. Thanks for the info.

Galveston would be cool but the terminal hasn't even been started there. Existing waterfront use has to be moved before terminal construction can even begin. Some point in 2021 would be awesome if it happens but I'll believe it when I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm right there with you, Galveston is my only "Drivable" port and it is still a 9 hour drive, plan is to take Grandson #2 on Liberty in 2021 assuming she is still home ported in Galveston, Grandson #1 warned me Grandson #2 couldn't go on Oasis because Grandson #1 "only" got to go on Liberty in 2018, sibling rivalry, got to love it.

If I can remember that far from now, will try to take as many photos and take notes about all the changes and post after or even during our trip. Again, thanks to all the valuable comments, recommendations and sometimes humorous replies you guys give. Happy cruising! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DublinFC Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Will the Oasis get use or the wow bands? I think I asked elsewhere or maybe it was on here and she does not currently use them. Am I mistaken? Those in the know please give me the 411 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdrfrag Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Not sure on that one, you'd be talking about replacing every stateroom lock with an RFID pad. If the can do that would be amazing as I really like the Wow Bands but I'd really hate to be the contractor who would say they could get that done in 68 days.

CGTLH Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Replacement of the locks to RFID style more depends on the return of investment. Right now it seems the ROI is zero. No other ship when going into dry dock has gotten updated locks. Plus it isn't just locks that would need to be updated. The entire point of sale system would need to get either replaced or have a RFID reader added. Also I'm sure it wouldn't be just guest stateroom locks that would be changed, crew/staff/Officer's stateroom locks would also be changed aswell. Other words every swipe lock on the ship would need to be changed. Now one wild card towards the update to RFID is the Bionic Bar. I have a hard time visualizing the system from ordering to pickup using a swipe style card. Not saying it couldn't be done, just be different. Me personally, would love to see the Edge style room controls aswell. Think Spectrum got some of the features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrofitting and spending $$$$$ for zero new revenue? I don't think so. The tablets at Bionic could easily be fitted with swipe readers, or so I imagine.

SSMEX Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Does anyone know if Amplified ships tend to get other cabin upgrades?

Adventure and Navigator got some cabin upgrades, Mariner and Indy did not other than the new cabins created. Not sure if kettles are part of cabin upgrades. Typically you get a kettle if you are staying in a Junior Suite of higher. All cabins have kettles if sailing from the UK (at least that is what I've heard).
