It is very difficult getting photos from the construction that are meaningful because of construction equipment and protection materials, but I thought the latest pictures were very good and include them below along with my comments. You can see bigger versions of the pictures in a slideshow of the images here . Don’t forget to click the “Show Info” to see my captions.

- The Champagne Bar looks forlorn without its furnishings, but you can already see how elegant it will be.

- The theater needs no caption.

This is the Jazz Club on 4. Cool, man.

- Another view of the Jazz Club. I particularly like the comfortable button-tufted couches.

- The Central Area of the Dining Room. Different from anything we’ve done before and I was impressed. The yard had grumbled about curving the undersides of the balconies (curves are a lot of work) but even they now agree it was worth the effort.

- Studio B

- The Royal Promenade looking through the Rising Tide Bar. Note the Schooner Bar to the left. People can wave as the Bar risies.

- More Central Park construction.

- The upper level of Dazzles. I remember the discussion about those light fixtures 2 years ago. There was a lot odf skepticism, but they really fit the space. The real thrill (at least for me) is the view out onto the Boardwalk but that is all covered here.

Dazzling Dazzles. The view from the stage. Note the dance floor although it is partially covered.

- Central Park under construction. We won’t get a real sense of it until all the planting is done.

- This is the Royal Suite. Not bad, but it still isn’t the largest stateroom on OASIS.

- A view down to Boardwalk. Workers sure are messy.

- One of the hidden jewels. The Solarium is breathtaking.

- One of two Flowriders. The loft cabin balconies are in the background.

- The Viking Crown Lounge. The decor is nice, but the view is spectacular.

And here's . . . OASIS OF THE SEAS.

A closer view from across the harbour.

- OASIS from the stern. Still all wrapped up.

Look at ALLURE taking shape behind OASIS.
