We're Touring Oasis! What Are You Excited About?
Do you have Oasis fever? We do. In fact, Editor in Chief Carolyn Spencer Brown has just arrived in Finland for a sneak preview of the ship at Turku's STX Europe Shipyard next Thursday and Friday (August 27 and 28). It'll be the last chance to tour the 220,000-ton, 5,400-passenger behemoth before it is released from the yard in October.
And we want to take you with us!
Every day next week, through Friday, Cruise Critic will be sharing the latest Oasis news, images and videos. (Here's a hint of what's to come!) In the meantime, we want to know: which Oasis' features are you most excited about? Vote in our poll -- check off all that apply -- and be sure to post your opinions below!
See you next week....

Hi Melissa
Great to hear you arrived safely and hope you all had a good restful journey...cause I am thinking you wont be doing much sleeping next week 
Looking forward to all the news and reports from you all up there in Finland ...oh heck the goosebumps are starting again
As I love the Royal Promenade I am very interested to know what you think of the Oasis one in comparison to the RPs on other ships.

Hi there!
Oh, I wish it was ME who'd just arrived...our fearless editor Carolyn is on site for this one. But I'll be following her adventure from the office with all of you  I'll pass along your note about the Royal Promenade. That's something I'm definitely interested to know as well.

I would love to see 2 pictures. One from deck 15 looking down into the BW and one from the BW looking up into the sky. This should be a good week!

Hi, Liz. Will be very curious as well about the Royal Promenade on Oasis. Saw it early on in the construction process (last November) when you can't see much but for the scaffolding and it felt so spacious!
That story's here: http://www.cruisecritic.com/articles.cfm?ID=789
And spent 8 days on Independence of the Seas in April, and of course haunted the Royal Promenade so there are fresh recollections....

I would also be interested in seeing what the Royal Promenade looks like. Additionally some of the cabins besides what's *already* been shown for months on the Oasis of the Seas website. Thank you!

I'm excited to see all of it...confession time here, I haven't even been on an RCI ship larger than Serenade, I'm Diamond, but the majority of my cruises have been on Sovereign class ships. Port Canaveral is just too handy for those weekend getaways! 
It was fun on our recent Alaska cruise to be able to say "I'm booked on Oasis already" when passengers and crew were talking about her. There was a construction video playing nonstop all week, but I didn't get a chance to see it all. It almost seems unreal to be so close to final payment after chatting in the roll call for over a year...and I know I'm not one who's been there since the begining. (Hi Liz!!!)

Hi Melissa,
Can you ask them if the will be a connoisseur club (cigars lounge) on the Oasis. I have not found it on the plans so far and it's would be ashame since it's such a great place.
Thanks,

HA! You name it and I'm excited about it. Any info you can share will be greatly appreciated. I personally am interested in knowing more about the Diamond Club and its occupancy level. I'm curious if RCCL took the ever growing C&A Diamond population into consideration in the design of the Club this time. And is there a balcony for the Diamond club overlooking the RP - it looks like there is in the renderings. I'd also like to hear more about Dazzles and what's going to be happening there at night? That looks like an exciting club. Also, I'd like to know if all passengers will have access to the helipad at the bow. If those questions have been officially answered, I apologize for asking. In the mean time, have a great time; enjoy the tour; ask lots of questions and take/post as many pictures as you possibly can.

Yes ditto here to that as I have that type of cabin booked B2B on Oasis
Also I find myself coming to the Oasis section of CC more and more as the days draw closer to seeing the finished product.
Yesterday was 1 year that I booked my sailing when the bookings opened up.
Look forward to all the photos and info

I second this ....photos of the "regular" balcony cabins would be awesome. Although I'm pretty sure most of us will be happy with any little look see we get. Thank you!
I've got the fever and really want to see the whole ship!
It's so exciting...as Liz said, "I've got the goosebumps."

Grand Suites
In in writeup by cruise critic about the different cabins, it stated that there were 30 grand suite cabins, which on the balcony it included a jetted tub for two...is this correct? It does not show this in the brochure...
