LuCruise Posted September 7, 2020 #1 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Is deck 12, mid section, ok in terms of movement on Oasis class? I would normally prefer a room on a lower (anywhere form 7-10), but we don't have a lot of options if we want a room that has a sofa bed plus a Pullman.

Merion_Mom Posted September 7, 2020 #2 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Unless you are taken by surprise by a hurricane or tropical storm, there isn't much movement on an Oasis class ship at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuCruise Posted September 7, 2020 Author #3 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Thanks. I guess no matter where you are, you are going to feel that kind of movement. I've heard that deck 14 should be avoided since it's under the pool (CP room). Is this an issue for deck 12 as well? We don't care about noise in the day...just very early morning or late at night.

We have been on deck 12 on the first 'hump' twice (Oasis and Allure) and had no noise issues at all. We avoided 14 for that reason. Like Merion Mom said, not much movement on an Oasis class, they are so big and heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deliver42 Posted September 7, 2020 #6 Share Posted September 7, 2020 It takes almost a hurricane to feel a lot of motion on Oasis Class ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we were "lucky" then the one time we sailed the Oasis. Theatre, ice, and diving shows cancelled due to rough seas. Barf bags all over the ship. While riding the flowrider, all the water sloshed to one side and I was left on a dry surface til the water sloshed back to the other side. This was about 10 years ago sailing March in the Caribbean with no hurricanes. Crew who had been on the ship for several years said it was one of the two roughest sailings they had encountered on the Oasis. That said, we loved it and are booked to sail her again in March 2021.

Yikes, not a good sign if they are bringing out the barf bags. And in that case, you will feel the ship no matter where you are. This cruise is Mar 2022 in Caribbean (and have Mar 2021 booked as well). You never know with weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been on 3 Oasis class transatlantic cruises, all on deck 12 forward hump and never felt much of anything. Deck 12 has about 100 fewer cabins which makes for a lot less elevator/hallway traffic. Avoid deck 14 if you are concerned about overhead noise, especially true if you have a neighborhood balcony. happy cruising 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(We've stayed in a Boardwalk balcony and the noise didn't bother us). It's more the movement of a higher deck, but doesn't seem like it's an issue for "normal" weather.

Right...If it was Harmony or Symphony then we would have more options as they have the trundle style for all "sofa beds" if I am not mistaken. This is for Oasis....one of the CP rooms on deck 12 that are 5+....so I believe that means sofa bed + Pullman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossing the Atlantic on Symphony they drained the pools for a few days because of the rough seas in the wake of a hurricane. It happens but not often.

Showme72 Posted September 7, 2020 #17 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Been on Oasis/Oasis Class many times and the ride is absolutely wonderful. If it gets really rough outside, you will be rocked to sleep, not tossed or bothered. You will sail around any bad storms. Enjoy!!! No Worries!

TheMastodon Posted September 8, 2020 #19 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I love feeling the ship move. Back in the day they would leave the pools open - mini wave pools were fun. Oasis ships are pretty smooth sailing unless you hit some gnarly stuff. Don’t worry about it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't bother me but my son has a sensitive stomach. Last March there was one evening where he felt it on Symphony and had to take something. But we weren't up high at the time and pretty sure he would have felt it anywhere in that scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovelife Posted September 8, 2020 #25 Share Posted September 8, 2020 We've always avoided booking deck 12 because Adventure Ocean is above. Kiddos love to race the hallways -- but that can happen on any deck. It sounds like none of you have had an issue with that, so good to know.
