Best and worst cabins on Oasis of the Seas

Most cabin advice is somebody's opinion. This is measurement. We read the published deck plans for Oasis of the Seas, worked out where each of the 2,811 cabins physically sits, and ranked them.

Oasis of the Seas is an Oasis class ship, about 226,838 gross tons, carrying around 5,400 guests at double occupancy, in service since 2009. The cabins we can place on the plans run from deck 3 to deck 18. The deck plan legend colours them as 1,805 balcony, 639 interior, 193 ocean view, 191 suite.

On this measure the steadiest cabin aboard is 3216 on deck 3 (Ocean view), and the one that should move most is 1756 on deck 18 (Suite). Every other cabin on Oasis of the Seas falls between the two.

How this is worked out, and what it does not cover

A ship pivots about a point amidships and low down. The further a cabin sits from that point, the more it moves in a swell. So the ranking below is distance from amidships, weighted with height above the waterline. It is a position measurement, not a review.

What we are not claiming. Noise and convenience for this ship are scored separately from mapped venues, and each cabin page carries them.

The cabins that move most

High up and close to an end. Fine for most people, worth avoiding if you are not.
