  Les Mis is still my favorite. 

 

"Bring Him Home" is the most gorgeous piece of music for a tenor voice!

Based on the photos and videos being posted on Instagram, the standard cabins have not been updated. Same outdated carpets, bedding, sofas. That's a huge disappointment. Harmony and Symphony are so much nicer.

I asked my Genie about room refurbishment and she told me that every room received a refresh.  New carpet, new drapes, etc.  I hope it's true !

TVs appear to be updated and can be a source of extra USB ports now.   I haven't seen the new rooms that were added surface in videos yet.

That may be the case for suites, but you can see clearly that the standard oceanview and balcony rooms on IG at least appear to look exactly the same.

Yeah other than the updated TV and RFID locks, the CP balcony room scope I watched still had all the old furnishings.  Maybe they updated the deck 17 rooms though?  

 

They might also be timing a refresh with the roll out of the SPA rooms..since those should be getting somewhat updated furnishings.  Furnishings can be changed rather quickly and can be planned for when they have rooms empty until eventually they are all taken care of -- do a handful of rooms per sailing until they are all done.

The most seem to be if you go to "places" in the search, Oasis Of The Seas 1800 Eller Dr, Port Everglades, FL. Most of what I have seen is in public stories.

Yeah- I think the hallway/stateroom staying the same was a huge miss with this refurb 🙁. I'll definitely stick with Harmony and Symphony now. I will say that the public areas look great from what I've seen.

Not surprised, the older ships still have 30 year old cabinets.

She's only 10 years old

[bobkins40]

ok... so now i'm sad, nothing grosses me out more than hotel room carpet !! really hoped they would have updated it

[HBE4]

The cost to do a full upgrade of 2,000+ cabin - new furniture, fixtures, lighting, wall coverings - in addition to carpet and drapes was probably cost prohibitive.

 

Besides, this way they can still charge more for Harmony and Symphony since they have nicer cabins.

I guess 165M doesn't buy what it used to.  10 years old and doing a lengthy refurb, new carpets seemed like a no brainer.

 

How is the bedding on Oasis?  A dirty looking sofa would be a buzzkill on a newly remodeled ship.  I get that it's too soon to change much in the way of cabinets and bathrooms but soft stuff................

Carpets, drapes and other furnishings can be replaced on an as needed basis. It’s no surprise that cabins weren’t updated, and it hasn’t been in the plans for many of the ships recently in dry dock.

Exactly.  I would guess that carpet in most if not all of the rooms has already been changed out at least once. As far as cabins being updated, they redid many of the cabins on Enchantment a couple years back, including complete new bathrooms and she was 20 years old at that point.

I agree about the carpets.
 

Yep, I think most of the Vision Class got new bathrooms during the “Royal Advantage” revitalization program if I recall correctly. I was mainly speaking to Mariner and Indy, whose cabins weren’t updated with their amplification.

For anyone sailing in the near future, the Escape room just became available to book for our Christmas cruise on Oasis.

The outdoor area forward of the Solarium looks much better than I had imagined. It's gorgeous out there.

Totally ruins the view from the Solarium though.

Don't they have title like Oceanview panoramic? Or is the just the suites in the corners?

Not as of yet.  I am sure they will be reclassified soon enough and prices for those cabins will be more than the 6N category that they are currently booking as.  We booked one for our in-laws while they are still classified at 6N to get the "lower" rate (if that is such a thing on Oasis class ships)

Thanks..booked it for this Friday!  Surprised the cruise planner isn't shut off yet for my sailing too.
