Oasis of the Seas to Boast More Cabins After Renovation

   July 11, 2019 ,   Cruise Industry

In November 2019, Oasis of the Seas will be undergoing a major renovation and among other things, the Royal Caribbean ship will boast more cabins after the refit.

The negative aspect is that the kids' areas will be reduced in favour of the larger number of staterooms. However, some novelties will await the vessel and it will be adapted to the standards of the newer Oasis-class ships. Oasis will get, among other things, the Perfect Storm and the Ultimate Abyss waterslides. No public outdoor area will be available in front of the solarium because of the additional cabins to be installed there. The kids' and teens' areas will be reduced so that the Oasis of the Seas will boast 61 new cabins after the conversion. 

No changes will be made on decks 3, 10, 17 and 18.
