Fury1995 Posted June 19, 2008 #201 Share Posted June 19, 2008 So far I LOVE everything......with a ship like this, who needs ports?? You will never get to see it all in one week!! I can't wait!!! Totally agree, the fact that there is an itinerary with any port at all is enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FL_Cruiser64 Posted June 19, 2008 #202 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Oh all you Carnival-ers are just jealous. Oasis is the biggest and bestest cruise ship out there. It will leave Carnival in the dust. LMAO OK, seriously now: I think all cruisers (regardless what cruise line they favor) are in unison. Oasis is a theme park on the high seas. It is geared towards the vacationer crowd not the cruisers. As much as I love RCI I certainly will avoid Oasis at all cost. This floating resort has very little to do with cruising in a traditional sense. Happy sailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifty Posted June 19, 2008 #203 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Tacky and Plastic, a Disney World on Water, RCCL trying too hard. Could they possible cram anything else on board? Just MHO. Oasis doesn't remotely resemble a cruise ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules815 Posted June 19, 2008 #204 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I was starting to think maybe I was the only one. The design so far of this ship, let alone all the passengers, has zero appeal to me. I agree. To each his own I guess, but I really have no interest in going on a ship that big anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandytoes03 Posted June 19, 2008 #206 Share Posted June 19, 2008 This ship sounds amazing. Once the reservations become available my DH and I are going to book it. We probably can't go until summer 2010, but the ship will barely be a year old then, and it will give us time to save. I have to see this ship!!!!

suziehmkr Posted June 19, 2008 #207 Share Posted June 19, 2008 For a long time, we thought we wouldn't like the larger ships. We spent a short time on the Liberty for a Pre-Inaugural and we loved it. But decided it would be too big if they got any bigger. I am sure I have said on here that these ships would never interest us mainly due to the number of people. However, the sheer engineering of this class is enough to make us want to book. Probably not until late 2010, but still - looking forward to it!

FitzLA Posted June 19, 2008 #208 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I'm gonna book for my b-day in January 2010. My partner was against it, but once I showed him the video, he was all for it. YAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimfly Posted June 19, 2008 #209 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I'm right there with you. We won't be able to go until Fall 2010 but I'm ready. I'll book once those dates become available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QTMichele Posted June 19, 2008 #210 Share Posted June 19, 2008 You really can't go by the renderings. There may very well be loungers instead of chairs. Until final photos are out, who knows?! You're so right! But, the renderings ARE fun to look at, aren't they? I'm excited that Oasis isn't a Voyager/Freedom class on steroids - it looks like RCI has put a lot of thought into making a different kind of ship. I can't wait to see more!

Fury1995 Posted June 19, 2008 #213 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Count me in also. Can anyone explain why so many people are getting so upset about this ship being built?!? What are we suppose to expect from a cruiseline that has been so forward thinking with their new builds? If you don't like it, just don't go. It's that simple. No need to complain about it and constantly find fault. It spoils everyone elses excitement. There are plenty of other Royal ships to sail without the same innovations or features. I just don't get it?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderfullife Posted June 19, 2008 #214 Share Posted June 19, 2008 OMG, hate it, hate it, hate it. That's not a cruise ship, that's a City your'e trying to leave behind to get to a cruise ship only to find out you're back in the City LOL! Wow, I don't think I like that. I love the idea of the Loft Suites but I would never have one. I would love to see the ship but not if I have to sail on it. It is too much of a city and it appears to be mainly indoor situations. I think all the tourist stuff makes it so people just don't sit back and relax but instead continue with their constant need to be entertained. This coming from someone who has a slight preference to Royal Caribbean. Aleece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtgirl Posted June 19, 2008 #218 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I am pretty much certain I will take my family on the Oasis in 2010. We have to try it at least once! Now I just have to earn enough points to fly to Florida, as it is horrifically expensive to get there from Vancouver for 4 people.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthGrady Posted June 19, 2008 #221 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I dont know if anyone has plugged the numbers in yet, but Oasis OTS will have an almost identical space per passenger ratio as the Conquest Class. Conquest: 110,000 tons / 2974 pax. = 36.98 Gross tons per person. Oasis OTS: 220,000 tons / 6000 pax = 36.67 Gross tons per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing is they can just keep living life as if these ships didn't exist at all and continue sailing the other Royal ships in the fleet. The reaction seems almost ..... personal? Why spoil others excitement??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
