We are consummate Norwegians and we have always enjoyed our NCL waterslides. If Royal's doesn't compare, that's a shame. NCL's are great. We'll take water slides wherever we can find them. Atlantis. Maya Lost Kingdom. Disney. We like our slides. I respect your opinion. lol Cruisecritiquer, I'm jumping in here to defend your love of water slides. We just got off of the Harmony, and those water slides did not compare favorably with NCL's or Carnival's water slides. The Harmony's slides were SLOW, and required lots of manual effort to just get down to the bottom. RC still has some work in this area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDsquared Posted January 12, 2019 #28 Share Posted January 12, 2019 We were on Oasis in November and were told by the loyalty ambassador that the Amped Oasis would have water slides 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdg623 Posted January 12, 2019 #29 Share Posted January 12, 2019 We spoke to two different ship officers on our recent NYE Oasis cruise, specifically to ask about the Abyss, and they both said it's being added, as well as changing Sabor over to Playmakers. Forgot to ask about the Broadway shows changing, but I'd suspect they will - historically they've been changed after drydocks. Guess we'll all have to wait and see what actually happens.

Canadian Tyler Posted January 13, 2019 #31 Share Posted January 13, 2019 At the top tier event this week on Oasis, the captain said waterslides will be added and they will be different from Harmony. He didnt provide any other info that from what I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted January 13, 2019 #32 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I don´t see Hooked or the Bamboo Room for the Oasis. Where should this be located? The Solarium on Oasis/Allure is a completely different construction than on Harmony/Symphony. On Symphony Hooked is on an added deck above the Solarium bistro. I don´t see Hooked there on the Oasis. This would be an extreme structural change. Wonderland can be added in the Diamond Lounge and the Entertainment Place changed into the layout of the Harmony/Symphony. Which venue should be changed into the Bamboo Room? steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The champagne bowl one is fast but I got stuck in the other two. They were faster on Symphony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy C Posted January 13, 2019 #34 Share Posted January 13, 2019 What about the hideous decor/color palate of the staterooms? Are they going to get rid of the 1990s pastels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hills and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCCL is really lame when it comes to the cabins. With the the Voyager class reaching 20 years they should fully change each cabin with brand new bathrooms 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing same two weeks for March 2021, Oasis is actually a bit more than Harmony, which is backwards....so makes you wonder what changes are coming. I was looking at the Harmony vs. Oasis for Ontario March Break week 2021 as well but Oasis was considerably less than the Harmony when I booked last week on the Oasis. Looks from your signature like you booked the Harmony in March 2021. If the Royal Amp photos from the Navigator are anything like what they plan to do on the Oasis, I am happy that I booked the Oasis. Can't wait to see what they do to her in her 8 week drydock this fall. Hopefully they kill the Cats and bring another show aboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked a Oasis this Christmas specifically becase she will be fresh out of drydock. Booked Allure for Christmas 2020 for the same reason. Funny enough for Allure in 2020 the prices were the lowest I’ve paid for a Christmas cruisebon an a Oasis class ship. I’m hoping they kill the cats as well.

Cel_cruise Posted March 25, 2019 #47 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I think with a Dec 14 sail date you could be the very first US cruise out of dry dock with the new features..hopefully they are all open by then! ...their track record for completing on time is not very good! That being said - for the price difference - I would probably risk it... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny as when I try to price check our room category on Oasis, it's on a continuous loop and won't go further after category selection. At booking though, Harmony was cheaper than Oasis. I see now though that the balcony category rooms seem less so guess it has flipped. And yes, we went with Harmony. Was thinking of booking both (refundable) as a placeholder until they formally announced the changes to Oasis, but was worried they would cancel our Harmony cruise if we did so. Navigator looks great, so am curious how they'll change Oasis. I agree that Cats is also not the best Broadway show, so hopefully they will change it to something better.
