Wife and I looking to rci

[csoud68]

For our next cruise. She wants to go on symphony or wonder. I noticed from pictures and video that those ships seem to have tons of wasted space.

 

I mean the middle is gone for around 8 decks it seems...its pretty to look down on but isn't that alot of area that can be used if enclosed?

 

How are crowd's? It's seems the edges are what's open and central park seems narrow.

 

I'm a bit concerned.

It is a great use of space.  So many things to do that it spreads the guests out.  It feels less crowded than on smaller ships.

About what? Even at full capacity, most folks have few issues with crowding.

Sure plenty of room to spread out with 6,000+ Of your nearest and dearest

THe promenade/central park concept actually makes it feel less crowded.

 

I've never felt crowded on a cruise ship even back in the good ole days of ships running 107% capacity

I'd much rather be on an OA class ship than a FR class ship with less people

Thanks everyone...its been 15 years since I sailed rci...

 

This ship is light-years ahead of the ship I was on.

Oasis class is the only class for us now . 

Saves time researching a cruise to book.
