Lenned Posted November 24, 2014 #151 Share Posted November 24, 2014 What's that rising above deck 16 behind the Solarium on the Oasis 3 in this rendering ... (Thanks to Matthew Brand for finding this great rendering) Also note the glass behind the wave breaker, what could that be? Outdoor smoking area like on Quantum or a restaurant?

ahecht Posted November 24, 2014 #153 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I'm pretty sure someone stated on another thread that this was fake and a photoshop job If they did, they're wrong. That image came from the STX website (STX is building Oasis 3 and 4) although they have since removed it.

Could just be an artist at STX France drew it up and added 'cool things' to what he had to work with. I'm not saying that Oasis 3 and 4 won't have slides, but Royal hasn't done them before on that scale and didn't do them on Quantum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but Royal hasn't done bumper cars, virtual skydiving and anything like the North Star before. There's always a first time. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always a first time. :) This is 100% correct! However, keep in mind that they also tend not to go the direction that other cruiselines go. Hence things like Flowrider, bumper cars, iFly, North Star and a wave pool. If there are water slides expect them to be different in some way from everyone else. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelsop Posted November 25, 2014 #163 Share Posted November 25, 2014 If there are water slides expect them to be different in some way from everyone else. :) Yes, I expect the slides to drop everyone that uses them into the ocean. This also serves a dual purpose of creating shorter lines as the cruise goes on, something I fully support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that Oasis 3 and 4 won't have slides, but Royal hasn't done them before on that scale and didn't do them on Quantum. And we experienced with Quantum that renderings don't have to show the real product. Royal Caribbean still uses renderings for advertising that don't show the ship the way it actually looks like. Nevertheless, at this point, the rendering gives us the best idea of how this ships will be like and what they offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slide could go into central park, then through rising tide opening and along promenade ceiling and end up in aqua theatre pool. It could be clear like Atlantis.

Tall-Cruiser Posted November 25, 2014 #168 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Looks like they're revamping the aft. With that said and looking at the upper aft area, what could be hanging on the very end of deck 15? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glitterbee Posted November 26, 2014 #170 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Subbing. I, too, am more interested in the Oasis III build than Quantum Class. I certainly hope the moderators give the Oasis new builds a place among the "stickys" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This also serves a dual purpose of creating shorter lines as the cruise goes on, something I fully support. I would like to see a lazy river, complete with inner tubes to relax in and float around the perimeter of the pool deck. Drink in hand, moved along by the gentle current, from bow to stern throughout the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintL Posted November 26, 2014 #174 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Very excited for the water slides, I think this is something that royal has failed to keep up with the pool areas on allure were pretty underwhelming even the kids pool; Norwegian and carnival have set a high bar for slides.
