Oasis of the Seas 10/15/17 Western Caribbean Review - MANY 360 Degree Pics and more!

I just disembarked from a 7 Night Western Caribbean cruise on the Oasis of the Seas. I took a lot of pictures, many of them in 360 degrees of glorious fun! Since I cannot "embed" them, I will provide links to an external hosting source. I did my best to "annotate" each of the 360 degree pictures so you will be able to "see" all the points of interest around the ship. If you have VR glasses or goggles, you will be able to see the ship from a whole new perspective. I have a few 360 degree videos as well.

It will take me some time to upload each one. I have to upload to the hosting service, and go through and edit the meta tags, and then provide the annotations. Seeing how I was out of work for a week... there's lot to catch up, but I am excited to share these with you all.

Here is a 360 Degree picture of the Solarium on Deck 15 Forward. This is the first of many to wet your whistle! Please let me know in the comments below if they are useful to you all.

Overview About Me:

Up until last week I have sailed on five cruises, all on Carnival. They were all great, with few complaints. This cruise I just completed was my first on Royal Caribbean, and we decided to do it BIG...On the Oasis! My plan is to try to provide my comparisons throughout the review where appropriate.

This cruise was just my wife and myself. We live in Orlando, Florida. It is a 45 minute drive from my front door to the Royal Caribbean Cruise Terminal on a Sunday morning. We left the house at 9:45am. Goto to port area at 10:30ish. Getting into the garage area at the port was a cluster gaggle. It was still early enought where there were a lot of pick-ups, and people dropping off. It was my first time here. After dropping off our luggage iwth a porter (10:45 or so), getting our cards, going to the waiting area for all of about 5 minutes... we were standing in the Promenade at approx 11:10am.

We had an Oceanview cabln way forward on Deck 10... #10526 on the Starboard side. Loved the cable. Perfect for two people. I LOVED the shower! Glass shower doors!!! No Carnival Cruise shower curtain (first comaprison).

Here are a few picture I took a few weeks ago while sailing through Port Canaveral. More soon!

Looking forward to reading your review and seeing 360 degree photos!

First 360 was awsome cant wait

Ah, can't wait to read all about it! It's on my bucket list for sure.

Looking forward to the rest of your review, I'm only 41 short days from my own adventure on her!

Looking forward to all the rest....I always ask this question on these Oasis ships, did you find your cabin to be on the warm side during the night?

Thanks for the review. We were in Allure and loved it. Looking forward to hearing more.

After we boarded we pretty much went right to the Solarium and claimed one of the loungers for two that have the cushy mattresses. We were one of the first to stake our claim in the Solarium. We chilled for a while, then went to grab a bite in the Solarium Bistro. Very uncrowded! Food was good. It is obviously not the same selection as the Windjammer, but what they had in there was more than enough for us. We also had our first cocktails of the cruise! :)

We then did a little exploring of the ship. Then went to find our cabin. I did take a 360 degree picture of the cabin which I will post shortly. Like I mentioned previously. the Ocean view cabin we had was great for us. Big porthole window. Plenty of closet space, and drawers. There were many more little cubbies to store and hide things than on a Carnival ship.

The tickets for our excursion was in our cabin, as well as the confirmation for our "First Night Done Right" specialty restaurant reservation (more on that later).

Without further ado... here are three more 360 degree photos for your viewing pleasure...

Looking forward to all the rest....I always ask this question on these Oasis ships, did you find your cabin to be on the warm side during the night?

The first few hours in the cabin were really warm...but our cabin steward explained that we had turned off the "Master Power Switch". He showed us how to always leave that on. After that our cabin was ALWAYS cool. At one point we had to turn up the air to make it a little warmer.

Loving the 360 degree photos.:)

The 360 shots are faaaabulous. We are looking forward to our first time on RCI-Oasis . Thanks for adding to our excitement level.

Sorry folks about the "stand alone" photos... I am trying again.

Please allow me to fix the few posts with missing photos, and I will get more 360 pictures linked up.

Thanks for this great review. I am sailing 3 weeks from Sunday.

Thanks for the answer, is the master switch labelled and its the very top switch next to the bathroom correct?

Loving your review and the photos!!

Thank you so much for the great review! I'm looking forward to seeing more! the 360 pictures are AMAZING!! :)

The main "focal point" of this ship (in my opinion) if the Promenade! It absolutely amazing! Michael Kors, Kate Spade, Regalia Fine Watches, Sorrentos Pizza, Entrance to Opal Theater, Boleros, Guest Services, Solera Gift Shop, Starbucks, On-Air Bar, Rising Tide Bar, Globe and Atlas and more... all reside in this area.

It is also a great place to sit and people watch.

Here is a 360 of the Promenade...

**NOTE** Please try to view the 360 images on a Desktop computer! You will get additional controls, PLUS you will see ALL the annotations!

Here are a few stand alone Promenade pictures...

We purchased prior to the cruise via the Cruise Planner the "First Night Done Right" deal. This deal basically is $15 per person to eat in a specialty restaurant these choose for you. When we arrived on board they had selected Giovanni's for us. We wanted to eat at 150 Central Park.

We went to the hostess in 150 Central park, and she gladly changed our reservation. It was another few dollars for the more expensive restaurant.

Dinner was AMAZING!!! Best meal my wife and I had eaten in many years!

Do get the cucumber martini! It is made table side... and delicious! Of course there is the salt sampler that goes with the bread. We also had the 18oz Filet Mignon which is carved table side. There is way too much food! I cannot see how anyone can get the Ultimate Dining Package and eat like this every night of the cruise. It's just too much.

Have any of you purchased the Ultimate Dining Package in the past? How did you do it?

Here are a couple of pictures from our dinner...

A few more 150 Central Park Pictures... more 360's coming soon...

Can't wait to see more. The bread in the second pic of the 150 Central Park set looks spectacular. They all look good, but I'm a bread guy. If they can get the bread right, then usually the rest is great.

 

Loving the 360s

Definitely following
