ahecht Posted October 27, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2012 As we all know, Royal Caribbean is in talks to possibly build a third Oasis-Class ship. There were minor changes made to Allure based on feedback from Oasis, but as she had already been under construction for a year when Oasis debuted, it was too late for anything major. Now that we have three years of cruises on Oasis under our collective belts, what changes would you like to see on a third ship in the class?

Clarea Posted October 27, 2012 #2 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I'd like to see them change the balcony staterooms to the design used on Voyager/Freedom class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahecht Posted October 27, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted October 27, 2012 ^Since posing this question, I've been thinking about a larger windjammer as well. They could move Izumi somewhere else (Central Park?) and take over that space, as well as extend the seating area over part of the mini-golf course and basketball/tennis court.

danzur Posted October 27, 2012 #5 Share Posted October 27, 2012 ^Since posing this question, I've been thinking about a larger windjammer as well.

The one comment I have made on all 3 of our Oasis/Allure cruises is about how small Izumi is, and that it is almost always full....that Izumi should be bigger. I've never been in the Windjammer...but I have been nearby during breakfast, lunch....and seeing the chaos in the hall outside, yes Windjammer should be bigger. Moving Izumi to CP in a bigger location expanding WJ seem like great ideas! Now that the park Cafe has been discovered, finding a way to add seating would be a good idea as well.

ProfessorandtheGeek Posted October 27, 2012 #8 Share Posted October 27, 2012 More outdoor eating venues as what you can find on some of the new builds on NCL's lines. I am in love with some of their newer ships due to the focus of getting you closer to the ocean in every way possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizanessie Posted October 27, 2012 #9 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Studio/single occupancy cabins!!!!!!!! I totally agree on this :D I am having a problem thinking of what else could be changed:confused:...(I love the Allure) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmetto Pilot Posted October 27, 2012 #11 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Larger Windjammer. For me that is a must. The Windjammers on Oasis/Allure are definitely too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise wizard Posted October 27, 2012 #12 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Cabins: larger showers, more outlets, beds higher off the floor for more storage of luggage beneath Pool deck - more self-serve ice cream machines Other: More or larger capacity elevators Ditto on the larger Windjammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johneeo Posted October 27, 2012 #13 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Put a real pool in the Solarium, and then put steps in for easy access to the outside deck forward and below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth C Posted October 27, 2012 #14 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Other: More or larger capacity elevators Maybe a big slide that goes from the pool deck down to Central Park ;). Would totally save time waiting for elevators lol But seriously... A better designed soap holder in the shower... One with tighter bars or even a solid bottom with drain holes - cant count the # of times the razor slipped through onto the shower floor and the blade popped off! More outlets in the room - a couple of USB charging ports would be great too Sent from my Speak & Spell using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1mauro Posted October 27, 2012 #15 Share Posted October 27, 2012 More elevators :D Oh, and a zipline that goes all the way to the bow of the ship, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena1 Posted October 27, 2012 #16 Share Posted October 27, 2012 WJ is fine with me, never had a problem on Allure or Oasis finding a place to sit I would like the room config to be slightly different also. Did not like the bed in our balcony cabin right next to the closet. Very hard to get stuff in/out of the closet with the bed right next to it. Would prefer the bed by the balcony opening like on the Radiance/Freedom/Voyager class. Otherwise, not much I would change, loved both ships. Liked the extra outlets on Allure that Oasis did not have, so I am sure the new ship will have those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwokpot Posted October 28, 2012 #17 Share Posted October 28, 2012 PLEASE add back complementary steam and sauna in the spa. I think it's a disgrace there's no steam and/or sauna on the Oasis class. AND AT LEAST DOUBLE the size of the Persian Garden. They should be ashamed at what they called and CHARGE for on the Oasis class - it's like an afterthought!

Bookish Angel Posted October 28, 2012 #19 Share Posted October 28, 2012 the popcorn on Oasis was quite stale. Backs of cabin doors could have a whiteboard area for us to make notes in a place we will always see. Book club like those on Princess cruises. Educational lectures from naturalists, historians, etc. that would discuss the places to be visited. Me as another art buyer. I can dream can't I ?!!! I love the modern art on the Oasis class and would love to help RCI fill up the next ships with similar art. A wave maker to liven up the pool waters on calm sea days. Adults-only cabin decks. 100% no smoking. Better side to side soundproofing. At least one ionization-only pool. Love them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted October 28, 2012 #23 Share Posted October 28, 2012 The bathroom sinks on Oasis and Allure are too shallow and I always end up splashing myself. I hope the sinks will be deeper. The Central Park Cafe can get horrendously crowded, especially on sea days, even worse than the Windjammer. It needs to be bigger. I love the idea mentioned above to move Izumi. We really like Izumi, but it can get crowded and takes room away from the Windjammer. Figure out why the gym gets smokey and change the ventilation there or change the area that is creating all that smoke. Figure put how to minimize the smoke in Boleros...maybe new high-powered blowers. I'm so excited that there will be a third Oasis-class ship.

RLM77 Posted October 31, 2012 #24 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Rework the air conditioning in the balcony cabins to remain on when the door to the balcony is unlocked....PLEASE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyatc Posted October 31, 2012 #25 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Larger Windjammer. Totally agree. The current Windjammer is just too small for 6200 guests I would also like to see Izumi changed into a Hibachi Steakhouse (cook at your table...like Norwegian has)...and they can keep the sushi menu.
