Oasis of the Sea what's better port or starboard?

Does RCI have such a ship?

Didn't realize that you had blinders on to other lines.  Eating the same meal all of the time gets a little boring.  But, if that's what you like......

Port side in months that end in R when sailing in the Southern Hemisphere and Starboard in months that end in Y when in the Northern Hemisphere.  

Or, it could be the other way around.

Some people's tastes change as they mature.  Others remain stagnant.  I can infer which category you fall into.

We would like our cabin to be dock side when we are in port when possible.  What would be the best option for Port Canaveral and Nassau, port or starboard?  Thanks much!!

I'll accept steerage at this point.

Is there some reason why I should care what you infer about me?

No, not really.  You're just a Loyal Royal.

At least you'll be able to see Leo then.

Not really loyal. If they stop providing a product that I enjoy then I'll be gone in a flash.

That's good to hear.  Then you'll finally be able to cruise on a line with three sets of elevators.

I'll start researching which cruise lines can provide that.... just in case.

It boggles my mind that RCI has built ships that are 225+ K tons with only two sets of  elevators.  Other lines have ships half that size with three sets. 

With social distancing and only 4 people or a family allowed in an elevator at one time, the more elevators on board equals better traffic flow.

Compare the number of elevators instead of the number of sets of elevators. Oasis class has 24 actual elevators.  Other ships with 3 sets have less than that and that means fewer actual elevators in any one location so when you have a show or dinner getting out you can have just as bad or worse crowds at the elevators.  I would think that regardless of the number of sets of elevators all cruise lines are going to face challenges with the elevators and social distancing. 
 

Other  than when shows get out I’ve never had much of an issue with elevators on Royal.

Or after muster drill, though that should be less of an issue for a while with the "at your leisure" drill likely to be used.

Wow...are you spending a tad too much time in Covid isolation?  Have a  bit of cabin fever do you?  😉

Ummm..is there something wrong with the taking the stairs?

Yes when there are 17 decks.

I always take the stairs. My record is returning from a tender port on deck 1 and climbing to deck 10. 

 

Royal Caribbean has some great artwork (and some "interesting" artwork) at the landings between floors. Check it out. Eventually I know where I am based on the artwork.

Yea....I get a little irritable after having 2 cruises cancelled this year and a third one in January.  And having worked a total of 22 days since mid March doesn't help things either.

No, but when your wife used a rollator on our last cruise and will be changing to a scooter for our future cruises, elevators are a necessity for us.  

Be thankful you still have 2 good legs.

Not a particulary unique situation for many of the regular posters on the boards.

Just responding to a woman who lives near PC and is living the dream being able to cruise as often as she does.  Having about 25 cruises cancelled has put a crimp in her lifestyle.
