An Amplified Agglomeration of Oasis Pictures - Post Amplification

[twangster]

Rather doing yet another trip report since there have been a couple of really good ones already, I'm just going to do a photo dump in this thread to showcase the newly amplified Oasis of the Seas.

 

I've got a couple of weeks of photo ops to gather my collection of pictures so over the next little while I'll update this post with different areas around the ship.  I may bounce around a little but that's just the drink package effect.

 

Please, please, please... if quoting any of my posts do not include the pictures.

 

Without further delay, here is the new Oasis of the Seas fresh off a $165M makeover.

Let's start with boarding.  The Crown of Miami or Terminal A is itself worthy of some pictures.

 

I've been fortunate to experience the suite lounge in the Crown of Miami.

 

 

 

 

Free wifi:

 

 

Some food and beverages are available.

 

 

The egg sandwich was just about perfect since I had skipped the hotel's $26 buffet breakfast.

 

 

The biggest "problem" is that the ship begins to board so quickly that you don't tend to have a lot of time to experience the new terminal.

Boarding leads you into the beautiful and spacious promenade.  They had preloaded the promenade for the midnight balloon drop.

 

 

During this cruise they started decorating the promenade for Christmas.

 

 

 

 

Oasis was upgraded to RFID SeaPass cards but they have a special punch at guest services for those that want to use a lanyard.

 

 

Muster stations:

Spotlight Karaoke is a new change replacing the On Air Club.

They've added a library to Central Park:

A new card room replaces the Diamond Lounge that was moved down to deck 4.

 

The upstairs section also has a desk for the loyalty ambassador.

 

Don't shoot the messenger...

One thing to get out of the way.  The general decor of Oasis was not updated in all places.  Hallways, elevator lobbies, many cabins were not changed to use the newer decor that Harmony and Symphony have.  

 

 

 

 

 I can understand why.  The decor goes beyond carpet.  Floor tile, wall panels, the color of doors, the wood panels and marble elements would all need to be changed to adopt and match the Harmony and Symphony decor.  That would be a massive change that would take a lot of effort and expense. 

 

My cabin was not updated.  However that's okay with me.  There's nothing wrong with my cabin and replacing the cabinets, wall panels, carpet and curtains would be a huge undertaking for what purpose?  My cabin is fine.

Time to show off the Solarium.  They've done a really nice job and I love the huge forward outdoor public deck.

The water features around the Solarium Bistro remain.

Thank you!  We get on her on the 15th.  You have just made my night!

[twangster]

Upstairs looks pretty good as well.

The outdoor forward solarium deck is a first in the fleet.  You won't find this on any other ship, yet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This area is closed until 9':30am.  It's right above the new cabins on deck 14.  I think they are trying to let people sleep in to avoid the chair scraping noises as guests inevitably rearrange loungers to suit their needs.

 

[twangster]

The solarium pool is always a popular topic and Oasis has retained her solarium pool.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[twangster]

Here's some solarium pictures while we were at Labadee.

 

 

 

 

[twangster]

The suite sun deck has been refreshed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately the port side including bar is now a smoking area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A local Haitian butterfly stopped by.

 

 

[twangster]

Oasis received the Ultimate Abyss.  Here are a few pictures taken at various times.

Thank you for the pictures 

[mafig]

Thank you. I enjoyed looking at the pictures.

 

I know, I know, but I still wish they had spruced up the staterooms and hallways.

[James4me]

That Solarium looks absolutely awesome for being able to enjoy the fresh air seating!

[soremekun]

Amazing pictures.  You truly have a talent.

[Clarea]

Outstanding photos!

[twangster]

More to come. 

 

It's the night before turn around day and I'm changing cabins tomorrow which means... gotta pack.

Amazing pictures! I really liked the creativity of the 2nd picture in the library series.

Do you know if the 2bdr ATS were updated?  The decor  and furnishing are not very upscale based on the price of the room.  Both are standard and seems like the rooms were not originally planned to be top suites but based on popularity the plan changed. RC raised the price but did not update the rooms. The suites on deck 17 are much nicer.
