What is the 3 night on Anthem in 2016?

I may have misspoke myself. I was told while on board on Allure that she was bigger than Oasis by 5 ". After Doing my research on this before I got back to you guys the web site "Cruise Ship Deck Plans" a really cool web site listed Measurments of Oasis at 1146' and Allure at 1141'. They may have got them backwards. I'm not sure at this point. And I was also told in a seminar on future Cruise Ship plans while onboard Allure in Feb. That Oasis III will be 14" longer than that. I agree with you about loss of sea view. But Radiance is the one Class that I have not been on. Tried. Check this out. We were booked on Brilliance, a Radiance, in Feb. Paid for and all. Quick cruise Interior to Cozamel 4 nights out of Tampa, cheap. My wife finds it cheaper on another web site and calls Royal to complain and is given a free Oceanview upgrade for her findings. Great, good deal right? Next day the phone rings it's Royal, saying would you except in exchange for your little quciky on a medium boat in basical what was an Interior 1 Port , to a 7 Day 4 port BALCONY on the worlds Largest Cruise Ship for no additional cost. I'm sorry but stuff like that dosn't happen to normal people from Corperate America often. Especialy people like us. Thus my trip on Allure. I swear I could skip all the ports and just investigate that Ship for at least 7 days and never sleep and be totaly mesmarised and tickeld pink happy. As I just about did. Thus my exuberance over the thought of what they could be doing with Oasis III Unfortunatly the next five years are set unless they have secerets they aren't sharing. With all there eggs in the Quantem Basket, 4 total by 2018. And the one new Oasis in 2016. I havent been sold on all this hype about Quantum. Just a bunch of grown adults with new toys. How many people can get into a north Star. And with a load of over 5,000 how many people will get the chance. And they have also anounced there will be an add cost package to "enhance the experience". Bumper cars at Sea? Come on. And I know your going to laugh, but it means the world to me. No mini Golf course. I'm booked on Anthem in May of 2015 on a 16 night. How am I going to servive without a golf Course. Roller skating in Sea Plex? Give me a break. I love Aqua Theater Shows. Green Planet was the best production I have ever seen anywhere.And Never, Never get me started about Central Park. Did you know the concept for that was a logistic not an asthetic one. It was concieved as another way to get people from forward to aft, instead of walking down long hallways or going the only way at that time, which was through Promanade.Keep me Posted as you find out information on Ship plans. As will I.

They are already diiferant. And by Oasis III I meen thats what they call her now. She is as of yet not been named. But is either on contract or being built by SDX France at this moment. For arrival in mid to late 2016. Oasis is 5" longer than Allure. There are different restraunts and slight deck plan changes between the two. According to the resident Horta culturist on allure, whose tour I took 3 times . There are alot more plants and trees in Centaral Park (deck 8) on Allure than on Oasis. According to the Royal representitve in a semminar I took while on Allure. Oasis III will be 14" longer than Oasis I, and having seen some prelimenary drawings of her will have some fairly major structural changes than does the Origanal Oasis. There are some bridges and overpasses on the top two decks forward on Oasis III that look quite cool. It makes sense though if you look at it, because all the Classes of ships have diffirances between them. We are scheduled to be on Legend in December (a Vision class), and acording to the deck plans Iv'e seen appears to be qute diffirent than the original. That makes sense also because there is 5 years age diffirence between them and like Royal is tend to do ,major changes were made in that time span. I have lots of web sites I study on Royal Ships and Ship building I would be happy to share with you if iterested. I's my passion and my hobby.Happy sailing.

They aern't the same already. And by Oasis III I Don't know what her name will be I just meen what they are calling her, the third Oasis Class ship in the fleet. Oasis is 5" longer than Allure. Allure has reteraunts and slight Deck plan differences Oasis does not have. Acording to the rccl resident hortaculturist. Whose tour I took 3 times on Allure, there are alot more, and diffirent plants and trees in Central Park ( deck 8 ) on Allure than on Oasis.According to a seminar I atended on future Royal plans while on Allure. Oasis III will be 14" longer than Oasis and having seen some preliminary renderings looks like to have some fairly major structural changes,especialy the looks of the top two decks forward. Some bridges and overpasses that look quite cool. If you think about it though all Classes in the fleet are diffirent from each other. We are scheduled to go on Legend in December, a Vision class. We have been on the original Vision and acording to the deck plans I've seen, Legend is going to be quite diffirent than Vision was. There is 5 years differance in age between them and I'm sure knowing Royal that many improvements were made during that time span.I have lots of web sites that I study on ships and ship building for Royal that I would be happy to share with you if interested. It's my passion and my hobby.

Booked on Anthem in May 2015. I know they have put all there eggs in the Quantun bascket, and I am eager to see what they think they have done. Dynamic Dinning? What was wrong with the old way. I like Formal night, I like same table,same people,same waiters. How many people on a 7 day Cruise will actually be able to get on a north Star? Sky Diving at See? Oh well I guess I'll have to get Modern. Me myself thinks the biggest single event in RCCL history {or in all of ship building} will be the unveiling of what will be the world's largest and most breathtaking boat to ever exist. OASIS III
