photogpab Posted January 4, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I am surprised at how much we can feel the 'rocking' back and forth on this ship. I expected smooth sailing but the boat has been rocking back and forth pretty heavily since we left. Very noticeable. We did have to return to FTL yesterday do to a medical emergency and did not head out again till about 11pm last night... So maybe the ship is swaying so much because we're cruising at accelerated speeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted January 4, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 4, 2015 The ship's motion is determined by the characteristics of the sea and wind relative to the ship's course. We felt significant motion on our Allure cruise and it did not have any schedule changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkoernert Posted January 4, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 4, 2015 My in-laws are on Oasis right now as well and said the same when en route back to FLL last night at high speed. My wife and I were on Oasis Sept 2013 and never once felt any sort of movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatDad2012 Posted January 4, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I have been on Oasis twice. The first time we never felt a thing, but the last time there was obvious movement felt and we were told by crew members that certain conditions and certain currents they cannot use the stabilizers, therefore making the movements more noticeable.

photogpab Posted January 4, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I was just surprised. It's not the occasional movement, it's been a pretty significant rocking back and forth since last night. I'm a dope and forgot to bring motion sickness pills so have been feeling a little queasy but nothing too terrible. Hopefully it will stabilize for the majority of the trip.

Southernbelle73 Posted January 4, 2015 #6 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I have read on cc that you should've able to go to the medical facility on board and get motion sickness meds at no charge. Check with your cabin steward. Motion sickness is horrible. Hope you get to feeling better. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamFritz Posted January 4, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 4, 2015 If they are wanting to move at top speed do they pull in the stabilizers? That might have added to the motion Also, the bigger the ship the more surface there is to catch the wind. While the will have less of an effect on big ships, the wind may have more.

Rare Lionesss Posted January 4, 2015 #8 Share Posted January 4, 2015 On our summer calm sea Allure sailing (Oasis class) we noticed the list of the ship when we went to lay down to go to sleep, It was relaxing. I guess a company should make a cruise number bed instead of a sleep number bed.................hey I should patent:D Safe travels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matj2000 Posted January 4, 2015 #9 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Do people actually think the ship is too big to rock?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmers Posted January 4, 2015 #10 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I hope its still rocking when we sail on her in April:). I know it can make some sick but I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
