The Oasis has the "WOW:

We just get off the Oasis and wow, what a ship!

Parking was a breeze, just steps away from the terminal.

Check in was quick and boarding was easy with lots of people to direct
traffic.

The ship was amazing and never felt "too big"

Food was excellent at all venues and personalized service friendly was
always available.with many crew members that we knew from previous
cruises.

Entertainment was the best with back-to-back shows, Abba , Hairspray,
Ice show, Aqua show, and the comedy & jazz shows were all over the top
fabulous.

Service as the best with staff to answer questions , at every location.

The outside balcony was nest and efficient and made use of space in an
attractive contemporary manner.

The spa and fitness area is huge with co-ed mixed sauna, and steam
rooms. and lots of fitness equipment.

The zip line and 2 flow riders were busy, but handled everyone with a
little waiting time.


Pizza made to order was very popular at Sorrento's and several
complimentary ice cream locations were well patronized.

Departure was the quickest I've ever experienced.

The Oasis will define what the future of cruising will be. Just like
balconies were considered unusual 30 years ago, and are now standard.

30 years ago most cabins lacked balconies, TV's refrigerators, safes and
hair dryers and lots more.

The Oasis and Allure will be the most successful ships ever built.
Those that cruise just for the ports or can't afford the price will
cruise elsewhere, but those who sail these ships will come back again
and again.

Was this a full compliment of guests or another part of the ramp
up?

Hi Kurt,

Royal Caribbean has stated they are not going to restrict capacity
until they have sailed several of the scheduled revenue cruises.

They are still ramping up. And even the first revenue sailings are not
sold out.

Actually my question was the other way around. Gadget was talking
about how easy it was to get on and get off and did not feel all that
big and crowded. I was just wondering if his trip was a full one and
thus a real example of what to expect, or just another lower than usual
group.

I was thinking the same thing Tom. Will they restrict after
they sailed to these places?

Here's what RCI CEO Goldstein said earlier this month:

"There has been some speculation regarding Oasis of the Seas short-term
booking position. It has always been our intention to carefully ratchet
up her load factor as we acclimate to delivering the wow on such an
unprecedented ship. We are confident about Oasis of the Seas value
proposition at the premium she is commanding and we are not utilizing
the discounting techniques that are apparent across much of the cruise
space."

You're correct. Ray doesn't make any sense.

Hi Tom,

Royal Caribbean wants to phase in the capacity so they can make sure
they get everything right and work out any kinks.

Okay that makes sense. You miss-typed or I misread the way
you wrote it the first time.

Ray said, "Royal Caribbean has stated they are NOT going to
