DEIx15x8 Posted March 22, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Not sure if this has been posted yet, didn't see it when I looked. The first images of Oasis 3 and 4 are now out! Most noticeable changes are to the adult solarium roof and the addition of a water slide. http://stxfrance.fr/FR/stxfrance-reference-34-OASIS%203.awp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEIx15x8 Posted March 22, 2014 Author #2 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Looking closer I think the entire Solarium is new. It looks more like the Quantum one where it is more tiered with the bottom level taking over the adventure ocean window area and the outside deck above the bridge.

ekatiel Posted March 22, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Looks like the Carnival water slides finally got to them ;). I have to admit, my kids LOVED them on the Carnival Magic. Glad they decided to add one :D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahecht Posted March 22, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I didn't realize that the ship was also going to be significantly wider. The stats on http://stxfrance.fr//UK/stxfrance-reference-34-OASIS%203.awp (the english version) say it has a max. breadth of 66m, whereas Oasis and Allure were only 60.5m. That's about 18ft wider.

She'll be about the same width. The very small (comparatively speaking) increase in GRT would be nothing noticeable if added to the width. The width of modern ships like Oasis are often hard to decipher. They have a max and min beam as well as a water line beam. Depending on the number given in each place it can be different. The Oasis has a very wide superstructure where as Quantum has a very narrow superstructure. Always gets confusing when places mention width without specifying more detail.

Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk Royal Caribbean has the option for a fourth ship identical to Oasis 3. They haven't signed the contract yet so it's not guarantee. They had an option for a fourth Freedom class as well and at one point it sounded like a guaranteed thing and then never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oasis Of The Seas Expert Posted March 22, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I wonder how expensive Oasis 3 or 4 will be for a 7 night sailing? 10K per person? I bet they will significantly drop the price of the current Oasis and Allure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMom Posted March 23, 2014 #10 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Totally digging the water slide(s). Way to finally catch on RCI! Just hope that slide dumps out at the main pool and not the beach pool. I like my quiet, adult-friendly beach pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope that slide dumps out at the main pool and not the beach pool. I like my quiet, adult-friendly beach pool. The slide will most likely end in its own pool of a few inches deep. If not that, than the kids pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMom Posted March 23, 2014 #12 Share Posted March 23, 2014 The slide will most likely end in its own pool of a few inches deep. If not that, than the kids pool. That would be a loooong slide from the suite deck area ("gold pass only") as the picture indicates to the kiddie area? Maybe the slide should dip into CP then be a water coaster back up to the kiddie area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that on Oasis and Allure, the kids pool is closer to the back, and the slide here is closer to the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that on Oasis and Allure, the kids pool is closer to the back, and the slide here is closer to the front. Another thought... Wonder if this same change would be implemented when Oasis goes into drydock? (Sailing on it's TA post-drydock so I'll know fer sure!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdbcruisers Posted March 23, 2014 #15 Share Posted March 23, 2014 According to the Loyalty Ambassador on Adventure two weeks ago, she said Royal is planning a fifth Oasis class ship by 2019/2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a pool of more than a few inches deep for the end of a slide. All the slides that I have been on have a minimum depth of Appx. 3 ft. You would be looking at a pretty nasty road rash if it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise ship slides usually just end, and don't dump into any pool. Here's one of the slides on Carnival Magic.

Stole this from another CC thread: I stand corrected. I had not seen how they had ended on ships but was basing it on land based water parks that I have been to.

Same time as Quantum 3. Should be a busy and exciting summer for Royal Caribbean! Where do you see a waterslides? I must be missing it. It's that blue structure behind the foreword mast. It's right at the start of the pool area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
