There are a few interesting details. No reservations are being accepted by CruiseMatch which is RCI's online booking engine. You much call or fax the line at the special number to make the booking.

There are also some cabin details I have not read before. Glass shower enclosures, "open space" in the bathrooms, fold away night stands, storage space under the beds.

Good luck to everyone booking OASIS!

Spread the people out instead of crunching them into two sets of stairs and elevators!!!!

OASIS is going to be amazing, but this aspect of the design is very disappointing to me. I try not to use elevators, but OASIS is so big most people will not have a choice. The elevators were pretty cramped on FREEDOM, I can only imagine what they will be like on OASIS.

Where did you find the deck plan?

Preliminary plans can be found here.

Hopefully, but even so it means more people on them, and more stops. Also, more people crowded into these limited elevator/stair lobbies.

Much smaller ships have far more elevator banks and lobbies, and it works so much better. It spreads people around the ship better.

Ernie, what I have shows it correct. The loft suites with balconies, and VCL are located on deck 17 and it shows the upper deck of the loft suites on deck 18.

It's confusing and I just now figured it out. When I looked at the picture below, I thought the glass on Deck 16 was actually Deck 17, which would be the lower level of the lofts. It appeared that Deck 18 was where the balconies were. Of course this goes against the picture of the Loft Suite which has the balcony on the lower level.

In actuality, I now realize the glass I thought was on Deck 17 is really the Windjammer on Deck 16. On the picture below, I guess decks 17 and 18 look like one deck in height, but they are actually two decks in height. It's making sense now. The picture of the ship just really threw me off.

Am I making any sense or have I completely lost you???

I know Gordon and myself are planning to book on Thursday. My partner has no desire to go on this monster so I will sail with my brother on the inaugural.

As to how crowded or uncrowded, closed in or open the ship will feel, that all remains to be seen. A deck plan and renderings only tell a small part of the story.

I may only sail on OASIS once, but I must sail on her at least once. She is truly a floating marvel that redefines everything we know about cruising. You can love her or hate her, but there is no denying that this is a very special revolutionary ship. She will make history in many ways.

Yes i'v got a impression that elevators are slightly bigger, atleast inside elevators.
There will be 12 elevators in fore ship and 12 aft of the ship.

Gordon, did you see that? 12 and 12 is better than 10 and 10! Even so, I wish they were spread out more.

Now do I go for the inaugural and pay more, and go a few weeks later and pay substantially less?

I presented the question to my brother and we will decide. To be honest part of me wants to wait a few weeks. On a ship this big and new, there could be some major kinks to work out. I like to save money too!
