14128 and 14528, the new ultimate panoramic suite.

 

Is this Star class?  Seems like it could be as they positioned it between the 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom aqua suites. 

Some additional information on the Ultimate panoramic suite.

 

670 Sq ft.

Looks  like it has a 120 sq ft balcony.

 

I’m still thinking that this could  be Star class.

So where is the DL moving down to? The same location as Symphony? Back in January we tried going to the DL on Symphony and not only was it packed to the gill it was obvious by all the junk on the tables that half the people had been camped out for several hours. So we enjoyed our nightly free drinks in the Schooner Bar with live music. 😃

I cruise on December 1, 2019.   Am I correct in assuming that the Diamond Lounge will still be on Deck 11 as indicated on the Deck plans for June 30th, 2019 - April 26th, 2020.  Or will it be moved to Deck 4 during the Fall 2019 drydock?

They do take a bit of space but it is really not that much.  Just the rounded areas to the outside.

 

But those "rounded" areas were the group rooms for the three age groups. So those are gone. How about putting 300 kids in one room together?

The can skip the lab and the studio. Workshop is the Escape Room on Symphony/Harmony but according to the new deckplans they move the Nursery there. Wonder where the Escape Room will be located. The Arcade moved down to Playmakers on the Boardwalk. And maybe the Theater is gone too.

The escape room is by the aft elevator bank on deck 14 where the card room used to be.

So they finally got rid of the Card Room... which is still on the Symphony and Harmony...

 

So with Dazzles gone, the DL gone and the Card Room gone... no inside public space to sit down and maybe read a book (ahem Kindle) or enjoy a quiet area for some crafts... On the Oasis TA (Eastbound) we met daily in the Viking Crown Lounge for crafts... knitting, crocheting, sitching, someone even had a spinning wheel. Oh gee, the Viking Crown Lounge is gone also and is now the Suite Lounge since the refurb of 2014.

Maybe the object is to get you out of those areas and activities at get you into a bar spending money on drinks.😄

Isn’t Dazzles just renamed the Music hall.   Should still be able to use it during similar hours to Dazzles.

Dont go using logic here

Here is my question: these new cabins appear to extend out further than the existing structure on deck 14, essentially in the place of the sun deck. Might we see the solarium extend further forward above these cabins?

More people, less places to be, now even less OUTDOOR places with ocean views.

How much time did you spend on deck 14 forward on your last Oasis cruise?

The more important question is how much money was spent on deck 14?

Exactly.  

 

I would guess that 90% of passengers don’t even know about that area on deck 14 and the few that stumble upon it stay less than 5 minutes and don’t return.  

 

The loss of that space doesn’t bother me in the least it’s the adding of more guests to the ship that’s the real issue.

Anyone recall how many cabins got added last time?

The loss of that space bothers us, as we used it from time to time, but I agree that increasing the number of guests without adding crew or public space is the bigger problem as it continues to diminish the experience onboard.

Or shopping for that gold by the inch and the spending in the casino. I’m finding that the cruise lines are making it more difficult to find free space to enjoy non revenue activity .

Why do you think they are not adding crew?
