What's standard in a room?

[JudiB123]

My husband and I are first time cruisers, and sailing on Oasis of the Seas this summer. Wondering what is standard in a room? A room safe,? Fridge? Microwave? Shampoo? Conditioner? Body soap? I cant seem to locate info on these among the FAQs. Thanks!

For non-suite staterooms: safe, cooler, bars of soap, dispenser of combo shampoo/conditioner in the shower.

Why would they have a microwave?

Just off Anthem. Had a room safe, fridge, shampoo/conditioner combined and bar soap for washing. I would expect this to be pretty standard.

They wouldn't necessarily but many hotel rooms do have them so it's reasonable for someone to ask about them.

Don't forget there are blankets, pillows, towels, ice bucket with ice on request, drink glasses.  You can ask for wine glasses if you bring your own wine.  And don't laugh about the towels as a hotel in Southampton had only 1 set for 2 people!

A bed

TV, hair dryer, desk area with makeup mirror, air conditioning, sofa (chair in connecting rooms), little bedside tables, telephone.

 

google “Oasis of the seas” and your cabin number  and “youtube” to see if there are any videos out there. 

 

What at is your cabin number?

[GEORGIEGIRL]

Carpet, door(s) storage, shelves, closets. All pretty standard.😀😎

I was on the Oasis last January, the cruise immediately after the big noro outbreak. After what I thought was a thorough cleaning, I found a half bottle of wine in mine! So I guess some rooms come with leftover wine!

Speaking of towels, they don't provide pool towels in the cabin, you have to check them out at a towel station.

What is the difference between a cooler and a fridge?

Cooler does not get as cold as a fridge, though I read that the coolers on the newer ships do better.

A refrigerator will use refrigerant and a compressor like your fridge at home.  A cooler uses one heat sink inside of the unit, and one outside of the unit, along with a fan inside, so no mechanical cooling being used.

"Cool", I never knew that was why they were not as cold.

Dead right; the OP stated that they were first-time cruisers.
OP: there is no such thing as a dumb question. You made good use of what CC is all about.

I apologize, there is also a fan on the outside to remove heat from the external heat sink.

Good question for a newbie. Please don't be offended by the smarta$$ responses.

Thank you! I tried googling my room (8543) and didnt find any specific to the room, but others probably similar. I appreciate the suggestion!

A SUS ☺, with flushing toilet. 

SUS ( STAND UP SHOWER ) if you drop the soap you can't bendover to pick it up .

Thanks! It's not only our first time, but it was booked by our kids, and they are pretty green too, so they sent me here.
