I appreciate the feedback however. you might try http://downunderanswers.josephcoulter.com just for kicks! I can get on both those sites easily. And that's with a webtv. Well one you can get on, but a lot of the things are not finished as Joseph said, which is what I was trying to figure out. The other was the incorrect address Joseph posted, so no you didn't get on that one. There is some cool stuff on this one though: http://adventuresdownunder.josephcoulter.com Clay |

Oasis of the Seas trip report
"George Leppla" wrote in message ... This promises to be long.... so grab a beverage or your choice and dig in, or hit the "next" key and move on. Hi George, I opened this up on Thanksgiving morning and after reading the first sentence, decided to wait until after Thanksgiving to be able to really take my time reading it, so now I am back... WOW! She is a huge vessel and I sort of have reservations about boarding her when she is to full capacity as some of your pictures on the promenade looked a bit crowded already! I really like the photos being taken when boarding...Also the multiple use of the sail and sign cards.. What neat looking outside balconies facing the Central Park plus the interactive info at the elevators. That should help one not to get lost when on that size of a ship! I was curious, they had the hand washing stations but there were no towels nearby...Did they have any hand sanitizing stations through out the ship? Not too fond of the square sinks in the men's room as they probably are the same in the Ladies' rooms...just not a design I care for...but who cares it is not where I will live! g. Disappointed about the non-movable shower head as I like to be able to adjust that and the lack of a clothes line and placement of electrical outlets. Makes one wonder why change things that work nicely before. ;-) One other thing...having a sandy beach is going to mean sand in the elevators and about the ship; not to mention that it will require quite a bit of clean up time. Also, I wonder how long all that greenery on the ship is going to last...a lot of upkeep there, especially that high wall. They were tearing up the real grass that had died on the golf greens the day before we were to disembark on the Solstice and it seems that would have been a lot easier to maintain then all the trees and plants all over the Oasis. I am really looking forward to our cruise on the Oasis with your group in October; the size of this ship was something I don't usually prefer, but I'm still curious about her and want to have taken her at least once! Thanks for the great photos and very thorough review...Nice cover shot! You look "smashing!" --Jean |

One thing she said that could turn out a bit problematic is access to shows. She said that since you have to pre-reserve for the shows, everyone who enters a show has to be scanned in with their access card... so entrance to shows takes forever and the build up of people outside the show events is horrible. Sounds like an idea that has implications they may never have thought of. --Tom |

Scanning the your sail and card before entering is going to be quite a problem. They may have to re-think that one or open the doors at least a half hour earlier may be one solution. --Jean |

On the other ships, the doors did not open until 6:00 on the nose. I have a feeling, this is why they are opening the doors early. They had at least 6 people with hand held scanners who were waiting at the doors. It went just as fast as when they looked at your printed ticket. All you have to do is hold up your card. We arrived at the showroom lounge, the comedy club and the ice show early, and we never had to wait. The ship was only half full, though. If you arrive late, that might be different, you may have to wait. The comedy club was standing room only and it was packed, people were standing in the back of the room. Becca |

The Oasis is a big ship, but it did not feel massive in size, like I thought it would. I am very excited about going back. Becca |

Also, I wonder how long all that greenery on the ship is going to last...a lot of upkeep there, especially that high wall. They were tearing up the real grass that had died on the golf greens the day before we were to disembark on the Solstice and it seems that would have been a lot easier to maintain then all the trees and plants all over the Oasis. The problem with the grass on the Solstice was that people walk on it... that created wht wear factor. Nothing like this at all on the Oasis.... the plants are just for show. It willt ake a lot of watering and maintenance, but I'm thinking it might work. I liked the Oasis a lot more than I thought I would. It didn't "feel" huge, although it certainly is. -- George Leppla Countryside Travel http://www.CruiseMaster.com Blog http://cruisemaster.typepad.com/my_weblog/ Facebook http://www.facebook.com/CruiseMaster |
