I just did allure and the park cafe made specialty coffee, though I'm not sure of the hours. They did not have an espresso machine when we were on Harmony in September. I am fairly certain you could get regular brewed coffee but not lattes, cappuccinos, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wonder is so much wider. It’s a few feet difference on all oasis class. Nothing that will ever be noticed I originally compared Wonder to Odyssey after taking a picture of both of them side by side, which was the reason for my comment. I was not trying to compare it to Harmony at all, just that Wonder was very, very wide. When we cruised on Wonder, the Promenade felt a lot wider than the other Oasis class ships but it has been awhile since we've cruised an Oasis class ship; however, Wonder is a lot wider compared to Odyssey. Sorry for any misunderstanding. I know what I was thinking but probably didn't describe it very well. Forgive me, I'm getting older! LOL!

That's just me being a "Mrs Kravitz" (from the Bewitched TV series many, many moons ago)! Tom and I usually spend quite a bit of time at the pub and enjoy (at least I do) people watching. On the Promenades, you can see from one end to the other but on the Esplanade, it's cut up/jagged and walls get in the way. No big deal, just an observation. We'll be on Odyssey for my 70th birthday in February and I'm sure we'll both enjoy being on Odyssey again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More variety Is the bread and or breakfast goodies station still in front at the entrance. Did they have made to order omelet plus waffle station(s) for breakfast and made to order pasta and pizza stations for lunch.

I would think either ship really; however, if they enjoy video games, etc., I would lean towards Odyssey for the techy/lazer light type shows that they may enjoy! Find videos for both ships and let them watch, so you can decide together! Plenty of fun stuff on either ship IMO! Happy cruising! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are to young for all the "bells and whistles" and the kids clubs are basically the same across the fleet. We cruised with our kids every year from the time they were 6 and 7(20-22) they loved any ship we were on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt_BJ Posted January 2, 2023 #61 Share Posted January 2, 2023 one factor I've not seen mentioned yet: for me smaller is better ...... on ODY in Nov we never felt the 'crush' so typical of OASIS class. Yes, I'm spoiled having discovered VIKING river and ocean as our now 'first choice' line but the Thanksgiving cruise was a family outing with each family paying their own way so it was a compromise . . . I REALLY noticed the lower pass' count in virtually every aspect as compared to our OASIS class cruises. AND BTW ... one of our parties was a single cruiser and ODY offers single person cabins! It was crazy small but a better choice as compared to 34' son sharing with parents or paying single supplement . . . my way of thinking anywho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icon will be the widest at 213 feet. Yep, I'm fairly sure that each Oasis Class ship that came out exceeded the size of the previous one, BY A LITTLE.

Ret MP Posted January 3, 2023 #66 Share Posted January 3, 2023 There are some interesting stats, if you are interested, here: https://cruisespotlight.com/compare/royal-caribbean-harmony-of-the-seas-vs-royal-caribbean-wonder-of-the-seas/ But, as usual, statistics are made for those who make them or want/pay for them. Several sites show Harmony's Beam being smaller than Wander's. But, you can't argue with Royal's own information, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiselvr04 Posted January 3, 2023 #67 Share Posted January 3, 2023 We've been on both classes this year. I think Odyssey edges out Oasis for us. I'd do either of course but Odyssey with Playmakers view of the ocean, those Jr suites and high tech shows plus I fly was pretty great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
