Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas is currently undergoing her first stay in dry dock at the Keppel Verolme shipyard in Rotterdam, since launching in December 2009. This 2 week programme will see routine maintenance and refurbishment to keep her shiny and new but also sees a number of changes being made in line with Royal Caribbean’s Quantum Class enhancements and the introduction of dynamic dining.
The Opus dining room is being removed from the ship and several new dining venues are being added or relocated in order to give customers the chance to choose where and when they dine every evening. Additional staterooms and suites are also being added.
Oasis of the Seas is the largest cruise ship to sail our seas at the moment and is the length of 4 football pitches, width of 6 London buses parked end to end and accommodates up to 6926 passengers. She is coming to Southampton for one day only this Wednesday after recently offering a handful of European sailings. These European sailings offered a great chance for people to see this momentous ship without having to fly to the Caribbean and it’s just shame that they didn’t get to see her with all her enhancements in place.
The full list of changes is listed below and I am lucky enough to have been invited to Southampton to check out the changes this week so keep an eye on my blog and you’ll get to see my photos.
Deck 3 – Opus Dining Room changed to American Icon Grill
Deck 4 – Opus Dining Room changed to The Grande
Private dining removed and Izumi relocated from the Windjammer and Diamond Club relocated from deck 6
