From: Carolyn G on 5 Jun 2010 21:08 Off topic Stu but your comment about how noisy the Oasis of the Seas must be with 5400 passengers was way off. I was on the Oasis in January and at no time felt crowded or overwhelmed by noisy kids. That ship is laid out so each age group has their own space with plenty of amusements for every age. There is one section forward that is for adults only. A sign states that. We were there one night and there are two huge hot tubs, lit from beneath, a small bar set up and ample chairs and lounges. And quiet music was playing. Our balcony overlooked Central Park. This was always quiet, day and night. Like a park should be. Trees, flowers and lots of greenery all over with plenty of benches and chairs to sit and rest. Lit up nicely at night with old fashioned lamp posts. It never seemed crowded even in the theaters. The Windjammer buffet was the most crowded place on the ship. I thoroughly enjoyed myself on that cruise.

I have not been on Oasis yet but the most crowded noisy ship I have been on was Carnival Miracle. Never found a very quiet place. The large Royal Caribbean ships like Liberty and Freedom of the Seas felt less crowded than that Carnival ship even though they were larger. -- Charles

We came into San Juan and there was a RC parked at the wharf, the complete stern was kids on the rock wall and playing badmonton I think, in the pool etc. You want noise, it was unbelieveable, not for me.

The sports areas are well designed and separated on the Royal Caribbean ships. They are much better designed ships and more beautiful than Carnival ships. There have quiet adults only pools called Solariums. The pool areas were horrible and noisy on the Carnival Miracle. If only the food on Royal Caribbean was as good as on Carnival.... -- Charles

RCI has done a consistent job over the years of seperating "noisy" and "queit" areas. The rock wall and Flowrider were always noisy but walk past the doors into the Solarium and all was peacful and tranquil. >They are much better designed ships and more beautiful than >Carnival ships. There have quiet adults only pools called Solariums. >The pool areas were horrible and noisy on the Carnival Miracle. In general, I have found the noise levels on both lines to be about the same at the pools for the "proles". > >If only the food on Royal Caribbean was as good as on Carnival.... The food on the Liberty otS was very good. I was very pleased with it. -- - dillon I am not invalid Warick: "Who brings a gun to a knife fight?" Gil: "The winner?"
