Rare Lionesss Posted October 26, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I have read on CC, no more formal nights, but trying to confirm that. Sea Ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedprincess Posted October 26, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I have read on CC, no more formal nights, but trying to confirm that. Sea Ya Once Dynamic Dining begins in March 2015, there will be no more organized formal nights. There will be the Grande dinitroom for those who want to dine more formally on whichever night they choose. Currently, while the dining room has had the minor cosmetic changes foe DD, service and menus are as "normal". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfTheSeasCruiser Posted October 26, 2014 #5 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I have read on CC, no more formal nights, but trying to confirm that. Sea Ya Correct, with Dynamic Dining, there is no required formal nights, however, the Grande Restaurant is supposed to be formal every night.

danb1979 Posted October 26, 2014 #10 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Did they replace the beds on the oasis? Because when I was on her 6 months ago it needed to be done badly! Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruisegirl6 Posted October 27, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Thank you everybody I also need to know whether the beds were changed, I live with two deliberating painful conditions and a good mattress is important for me.

mlbcruiser Posted October 27, 2014 #13 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Usually I always try to reserve judgement a bit re: changes - at least until I've seen/experienced them. This time, I just can't. I'm very, very sad they moved the Diamond Lounge from that great space w/a balcony above the Promenade. My dh and I LOVED going there! It was one of the reasons we booked the Oasis again in 2014 having been on her in 2012. Of all things, to add more cabins?! And another favorite and well known signature of RCCL ships, the Viking Crown Lounge, has been taken from the "peons" who can't afford the fancier cabins as only Concierge level guests will use that space. Didn't get to try the seafood place on the Boardwalk last time but had planned to for sure this time. I am guessing Sabor is latin-themed? That's o.k. w/me but maybe they could have just cut the space in half - one for each type of food. I am certain there are a few people unhappy about the "secret balcony" takeaways, too. I sure hope they don't take out the giant hot tubs with the t.v.s over them next! If there was one thing I wish they would have done, it would have been to put one large, main pool in the center of the pool deck, taking away the port and starboard pools. They make it look like the ship got chopped in half and no one remembered to keep space in the center for a pool! Then, too, they could bring the band back down to a stage more level with the pool -as on all the other classes of their ships - instead of way up above everyone. It was such a popular ship the way it was. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I've never been on the Oasis, but from what I've read, the addition of Sabor is a welcomed addition.

trev71 Posted October 27, 2014 #15 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Cup cakes moved in with ice cream scoops from what I understand I think its called Cups and Scoops. Its on the boardwalk now. I remember looking at the map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdncruiser84 Posted October 27, 2014 #17 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I know this may not be a big deal compared to the other changes on the ship but one question that I am wondering is with the beds on the ship did they replace them? Or do they have a flip them over and new again policy ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do they have a flip them over and new again policy ?! I've seen them load new mattresses on to the ship on every cruise I've been on. I assume they're constantly replacing them as needed.
