I hope : the future of Oasis isn't a collection of plastic plants. : : It's not so much the plants as the insect pests they may harbour. I'm not much a botanist, however, if you consider the high-tolerant (salt-air, moisture-seeking) plantings I've seen on the OASIS Central Park videos, the rarity of infestation could be lessened by the daily care given by staff and natural resistance on sea-worthy craft. |

Look at http://cruisemaster.typepad.com/photos/oasis/index.html George, thanks for the wonderful pictures. This ship is way different and there are a lot of things I like aobut it. I am glad we will be on it with you, but am not sure once I have seen it that I will want to go again. As many people have said it is like a land resort at sea. Love, love, love the Solarium Hot Tub and also love that the pool hot tubs have a cover for shade. In the pictures the balcony cabins remind me a lot of those on the Solstice. Same desk, vanity etc. In some other pictuees I have seen the closet by the bed, slso like on the Solstice. Is it pretty much the same layout? sue |

Look at http://cruisemaster.typepad.com/photos/oasis/index.html I'll work on a trip report soon. The weirdest thing to me seems like how the pool deck is split in half... kind of "disconnected"... did you get that feeling? Or does it work once you get there in person? Tom, to me the pool decks remind me of a pool club on the top of a fancy high rise apartment building.LOL sue |

Also, the Solarium reminded me of the Solstice, only I think the Oasis improved on the Solstice just a little. They also have those large, white, hooded seats, the ones that are big enough for two.

Did the top drawer of the vanity get warm? Like the one that melted your chocolate.LOL The vanity area and the closets look just like the Solstice, but I have only seen pictures so far. Were the hot tubs more comfortable with room to put your feet? That is one thing I love about the Grandeur class of ships, great hot tubs. sue |

It might have been warm, I just didn't notice. The hot tubs were comfortable on the Oasis and we had plenty of room for our legs. To turn the hot tubs on, there are black circles about the size of a silver dollar. You wave your hand over the circle and it turns it on, you don't touch it. They have large hot tubs and small ones, they have lots of them, too. We will certainly enjoy our hot tub parties on this ship. Becca |

It has been hectic since we got home, but I have uploaded some pictures from the Oasis of the Seas. Look at http://cruisemaster.typepad.com/photos/oasis/index.html I'll work on a trip report soon. George what an extensive selection of images. Here are some of my impressions of these images. This ship's decor goes from superb to tacky. In the what were they thinking department, the mens and ladies in the pool area. Tacky Tacky Tacky. Boardwalk? If I want to see a cheesy boardwalk I have to go no further then Seaside Heights, NJ. Why put a cheesy boardwalk on a luxury cruise ship? Tacky. The colors in the Suite Lounge are sick making, brown and orange when combined in hospitals have increased patient's nausea. The teen lounge looks like someone turned Juni Jetson loose. Ultra modern is sooo over. The Teen Center looks like a flop house in a crack den. The hot tubs look like escapees from the NYC 1964 Worlds Fair, Ultra modern is so from the past. Who wants a balcony looking in on other balconies and the promenade, central park? Wait a minute, this could make high rise condo and apartment dwellers feel right at home. To get away from the congestion of city life, they book a cruise on a luxury ship in a cabin that is just like the congestion they're trying to leave behind? Why don't they just park the thing somewhere and call it an island? -- ________ To email me, Edit "blog" from my email address. Brian M.

Of the few hot tubs I have seen pictures of, my favorite is the one in the Solarium that is on the edge of the ship. Our group is going to have to do a lot of pre-cruise planning if we want to do things together. Otherwise we will roam the ship and never see each other, except at dinner.LOL This reminds me that Kevin has to check with his oncologist and make sure he can use the hot tubs. Oh well, I can still use them even if he can't.LOL sue |

We will have no problem finding each other in the Solarium, we just need to pick the same side of the ship. They have food and beverages nearby, which is nice. I hope Kevin can join in with the hot tub parties. Some of the tubs are hotter than others, if we need to find a cooler hot tub, we can do that. I hope Lori and Becky bring their toys. :-) Becca |
