Imagine if that many people went through your house week after week? I think they do an amazing job keeping up with everything. We will be on Oasis after she is overhauled. Can't wait

Bigger ships experience a much higher volume of traffic and wear down a lot faster as a result. But honestly, I couldn’t care less is the carpet is looking a little worn, doesn’t matter that much. Oasis is going into dry dock soon (it’s second) and will be revamped for the reimagining program RCCL is pushing out so it’ll be back is good shape.

I always smile when someone says a ship that is 10 years old is getting old and tired. The first cruises I went on in the 80s and early 90s were on ships 30+ years old and we thought they were amazing.
