[butterfly2]

Is it possible to get out to the helipad area on Oasis OTS?

Yes, but only by invitation. Invitations are usually given to suite guests and higher level C&A members for a port sailaway.

Thanks for the quick reply

A few years ago we attended an unofficial Star Gazing "tour" on the Oasis lead by the First Officer. He led the group out on the helipad and did a great job pointing out stars, planets and constellations. Other than that there was no access for the general public.

If you do the behind the scenes tour they will also take you out there in most cases. Pending weather obviously.

Not what you asked, but just FYI it is possible to go out on the helipad on your own on other classes of ship.

That was not the case on Oasis last May.

Yes, for the classes that have them (Voyager, Radiance, and Freedom). It's only the Oasis class where you can't access it on your own.

I believe Quantum class as well you have no access to helipad

Correct - honestly I was unaware there *was* a helipad on the Quantum class ships until just now when I looked at an overhead view.

If you get invited, make sure you have closed toe shoes. They weren't allowing sandals.

Nor last week either. Granted, we were running full tilt because of a medical emergency.

[Sky616]

We were only platinum and we were invited to the sail away from St. Maarten on our last Oasis cruise.

wander why?

I wonder why you aren't allowed on Oasis class? If was anything to do with security then you wouldn't be allowed on any ship. It's not any harder to get to, either... Down to the end of the hall and out the door.

 

I think it was on Explorer that I "discovered" the helipad by accident... Decided to see where a particular door went and ended up on the helipad.

When we were on an Oasis class sailaway party in Labadee an officer told me its to do with the aerodynamics of the front of the ship. I had asked him why we weren't allowed on the Helipad here but on Indy we were. He waved his hand upwards and said look at the shape....not possible here.

When i was on the Explorer back in 2008 , there was no door to helipad. It was outside promenade with a stair leading to the heli pad. Of course back then i tried to do imitation to TiTanic. Yes , standing on the rail with my hand out. of course, my friend hold me in case i lose my balance.

I noticed that some events take place there. Specifically "7:45am Yoga on the Helipad" on at-sea days. But this activity is not free.
