[crewsin250]

Wow I feel like I just got my 1st Christmas present seeing these photos Thanks I can not wait until my turn onboard the updated Oasis on 1/26/20.

The chairs with clam shell cover or they free to anyone are do you have to pay to get one in the Solarium.

Solarium is open to the public for all 16+ years old.  First come, first seated, no reserving chairs or loungers.

Portside BBQ.

 

Where else but deck 15 aft on the port side. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The inside section is air conditioned.

 

 

Orders placed on the left then you slide to the right for sides, desserts and beverages.

 

 

For dinner you can choose two or three meats, sides  and a dessert.

 

 

For lunch or a smaller snack you can choose some of the favorites.

 

 

 

The full lunch menu:

 

 

Dinner menu:

 

 

Late night menu:

 

 

The food all looks really good.

My first meal was lunch on boarding day.

 

Sammie with pulled pork.

 

 

It's a lot of food and quite filling.

 

For dinner another night I had the brisket and ribs.

 

 

Very tender. Fall off the bone tender.

 

 

It's so much food I couldn't finish the brisket and all the ribs.

 

Sauces are available at the table.

 

 

At dinner they had live music.

 

 

 

 

Turkey leg lunch on another boarding day.  I feel like Fred Flinstone the Turkey leg is that big.

 

 

All three meals at Portside BBQ have been really good.

Behind the restaurant near the sports area and mini golf is "The Porch" outdoor seating.

Did they add a hot tub on the Suite Sun Deck?

Did you find that to actually be the case, or were the seat savers out in force?

Fabulous photos ! Look forward to seeing the rest of them- thank you for doing this! It’s very helpful , especially for those of us who sailed on her before the revamp .

Just off of Symphony yesterday (GREAT CRUISE) and will be on Oasis for the 4th time next November. I would love to hear about the music played in the new Music Hall. Do they still have the party bands which draws so many for dancing? We had Muzik Express - they were amazing!

 

Enjoy the 2nd week of your cruise twangster!

No different compared to the pool loungers.  

 

I haven't hung around long enough to see if Oasis is enforcing any policies in this regard.

Thanks so much for your outstanding photos and taking the time to share the amped Oasis with us!  Trying to plan a family cruise for summer 2020 and the photos will be great to share with those who've never sailed on an Oasis class.

Very appreciative of your hard work!  May I ask what camera you used?

 

Thanks again, Donna

Thank you for the awesome pictures, Twangster! We loved sailing on Oasis as she was, but I’m really enjoying seeing the newly reimagined Oasis. 

[Grandma Petania]

Thanks for the pictures.  I’ll be following along as you add more.  It will be a year before I will see her in person, but your pictures will help build my anticipation.

Fantastic photos! How were you able to get all those great pics with hardly anybody on board?

Sure makes Oasis class ships look super crowded, right?  😉

[irishgal432]

Great pics,  Did they update CK?  It was looking a little worn last time I was on.

[RazorbackIslandGirl]

Thank you for sharing! As always your photography is beautiful!

The outdoor forward solarium deck is a first in the fleet.  You won't find this on any other ship, yet.

 

This area is closed until 9':30am.  It's right above the new cabins on deck 14.  I think they are trying to let people sleep in to avoid the chair scraping noises as guests inevitably rearrange loungers to suit their needs.

 

What does that sign say?  Was the whole area over the new cabins closed off?  Was this closure enforced?

The sign says the area is closed.  This applies to the outdoor area over the new cabins, not the entire solarium.  There have been crew on hand to enforce the closure but not at all times.

El Loco Fresh is new to Oasis of the Seas.  This appears to a closely resemble El Loco Fresh on Symphony.

 

 

Handwashing stations.

 

 

Like other El Loco Fresh in the fleet there are a selection of premade options.

 

 

 

A tortilla press right in the restaurant.

 

 

 

Toppings.

 

 

El Loco Fresh is always a popular spot and it's pretty much impossible to get photos absent of any guests.

 

 

A freestyle drink machine is found around the corner convenient for anyone on the sports deck.

Spotlight Karaoke is a new change replacing the On Air Club.

Did you get a chance to watch any Karaoke?  It appears in the photos that those two large columns will block the view of the stage from a lot of the seats & tables.  Seems strange to have columns there but I'm sure it was unavoidable.

Twangster, would you happen to know if you can substitute a turkey leg for the 2 meats entree when paying full price for the meal? For example, get a turkey leg, 2 sides and a dessert for $12.49. I see smoked turkey under Cuts but I don't imagine that's Smoked Turkey Leg. Loving this thread! Thank you!
