Oasis of the Seas Deck Plans, Carnival Shuffles the Deck.

[NWLB]

Oasis of the Seas deck plans emerge online.

We are at a point in the construction and marketing of Oasis of the
Seas, where details such as deck plans are cropping up online. This
is only natural of course. And the first real insight into the
historic new ship in Royal Caribbean's fleet reveals a number of
things which should give fans of the line reason to be happy.

the partial deck plans show much we had not yet known in full detail.

There will indeed by a Windjammer, though it is now know as
“Windjammer Marketplace.” This makes sense, because from the launch
of Voyager, the single theme, informal dinning area has been divided
into several areas. The “marketplace” theme fits the kiosks and
variety the area provides.

There will be a Viking Crown Lounge, to the relief of those who have
hoped this signature feature would not be lost to additional cabin
space.

There will be a main dinning room, still three decks high. Further,
given that Oasis of the Seas will be wider than any ship before her,
the size may be much greater than what is seen on even the Voyager
family.

Evidence suggests, in conjunction with several aerial photos on the
net, that there will between two and four pools on the sun decks.
Large spaces on the deck, opening to areas below, combined with a lack
of cabins shown in the plans, would indicate pool space.

There is a lot of space forward, where the theater area is known to be
located, and likely the location of the Casino Royale, which has not
been revealed yet. Likewise, an enlarged ice rink is on tap for the
Oasis, but the public space around it, is not yet being detailed.
Likely this will change next week, for the online reveal. Royal
Caribbean Fan will host a live chat later in the evening, to discuss
the reveal.

Carnival Shuffles the Deck.

The last of the old, early 80s “Fun Ships,” the Carnival Holiday, is
due to transfer from that fleet for duty with CCL's Spanish brand. It
will be replaced in its Mobile, Alabama portage by the Carnival
Fantasy, which in turn, will be replaced in New Orleans by the
Carnival Triumph.
