Rare JessyCruises Posted February 12, 2017 #26 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I love the Oasis class but we are trying Anthem next month for the same reason as you - the activities and the Ability to drive from Canada. We are in NB. Either way I think you made a great choice! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMESCC Posted February 12, 2017 #27 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'm gong in June and will report back. [emoji51] Sent from my iPad using Forums Awesome, I look forward to that report. I bet its not much different than the "Promenade" but I'll be interested to hear what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted February 12, 2017 #28 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Don't they have Sorrentos pizza inside Cafe promenade? They did on Mariner. Sorrento's wasn't "invented" until the Freedom class was built. With the Freedom class ships they added the second food venue to the Royal Promenade and moved the pizza there. It was a very good move for reducing crowding in the Cafe Promenade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the stand alone venue started with the Freedom class ships. As far as the rest of it, I am going to leave it alone because it isn't worth going back and forth about.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachammo Posted February 13, 2017 #31 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Anthem was OK but the Oasis class is out of this world. The Esplanade on Anthem does not begin to compare to the Promenade on an Oasis class ship. The Promenade is much larger and airier. It also has the Rising tide bar in it and they have spectacular parades and shows in the Promenade. The Esplanade, by comparison, is cramped and crowded. Additionally, Oasis class has Central Park and Boardwalk with the Aqua Theater. Both are really beautiful open areas. Oasis class also has an ice-skating rink and show. The only problem with going on an Oasis class ship is that it will spoil you for all the other classes. Disagree.... Being on Harmony for my last 27 cruise nights has made me appreciate the smaller classes much more. I guess what really turns me off is not seeing the ocean once I leave my ocean balcony.....no windows to the outside unless we are on top. Also Harmony feels very impersonal..... Sad the Royal is gradually selling their smaller ships.... Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the OP specifically mentioned that they like the Promenade. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clochette Posted February 14, 2017 #33 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I liked the Oasis, and LOVED the Anthem. loved all of the nooks and cranny where you could just relax, curl up with a book, it never felt crowded, as long as you avoided the frenzy on the esplanade when there was a sale, just a cool and a great design.
