And with a Non-Revenue T/A, there must be some pretty extensive changes planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently had one of my best ever cruise meals at Giovanni's (albeit it was on the Liberty). I tried Jamie's on Anthem and was underwhelmed. It wasn't bad but nothing special either. But I know restaurants can vary between ship so I'll give it another try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen 6 week dry docks lately, and adding the transatlantic would add at least a week to 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they usually are working on the enhancements during the non-revenue trips? I guess it's takes awhile to get the ships "amped-up".

I'm going to miss the Solarium bistro for dinner....not going to miss Cats tho... Fun Fact: I was on the Oasis this past April and they must've had to replace one of those ship-shaped deck map thingies in the Royal Promenade. But the replacement was already updated (probably from the Harmony) and it showed Wonderland in place of Dazzle's. Of course, the electronic Wayfinder as well as the printed deck plans were still correct but I wonder how much confusion was caused by that updated-ahead-of-it's-time deck map? I know I did a double-take and it got my hopes up for a split-second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timf2001 Posted November 26, 2018 #16 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Wasn't Oasis originally getting Wonderland during its last dry dock but it was scrapped at the last minute? Maybe the sign is a remnant of that. I'm eager to hear the details of the Oasis refurb. We are planning a whole family new year's cruise next year and wanted to do Symphony, but the prices are double that of Oasis and Allure. Even though Allure is the better itinerary, we are leaning towards Oasis because of the refurbishment. With a 2 month gap in the schedule, it ought to be significant.

On Symphony they added Hooked to the upper level of the solarium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzard05 Posted January 22, 2019 #21 Share Posted January 22, 2019 It would be nice for Royal to outline what is going to be added. We are in the process of planning a New Years Cruise and are really interested in going on the Oasis...but we are going with another family with younger children and things like waterslides are a big deal for them. I can't decide if we should pull the trigger in the "hopes" that waterslides are part of the plan, or play it safe and go with a ship that already has them. Any updated info on what might be added?

The Grumpus Posted February 12, 2019 #25 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Is there any new scuttlebutt on the topic of Oasis' "Royal Amplification" scheduled for this Fall? I'm excited about most of the potential new venues listed in the above posts, except I'm a little concerned about the slide. We booked our first ever Boardwalk Balcony stateroom for December, but if there's a slide going in then I'm thinking maybe a boardwalk balcony cabin isn't such a great idea. I've been looking at a lot of Harmony pictures posted on the CC boards and it appears there isn't any clear view of the aquatheater or the ocean with the slide. It would be nice if RCCL would announce what they plan to do a lot earlier than they typically do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
