Oasis Of The Seas Deck 5 | Royal Caribbean Deck 5 | Royal Caribbean Cruise Deck 5

Deck 5 is all about the Royal Promenade. This is the very epicenter of the Oasis of the Seas and represents everything that is cool about her.

The Entrance to the Opus Restaurant on Deck 5

 The Oasis of the Sea's main dining venue is called the Opus Restaurant. This three story restaurant is huge, but the way it is designed it seems quite intimate.

The Opus Dining Room

We dined here just one evening and had a wonderful meal. One could sail on the Oasis and dine here every night and have a wonderful cruise. But, the Oasis of the Sea's alternative restaurants are so attractive, I suspect that most people will find a balance that will fit their desires.

The Opus Restaurant

While the tables are sectioned off to be intimate, one can't help but marvel at the scope of the restaurant.

Entering the Royal Promenade

Leaving the Opus Restaurant on deck 5 one comes to the main entrance to the Royal Promenade. Since the Oasis of the Seas is some 60 feet wider than the Freedom Class ships, this is where you can really see the difference.

The Champagne Bar

The Champagne Bar resides just to your right as you enter the Royal Promenade.

The Champagne Bar

While this bar specializes in serving champagne, it also has a full list of wines and other cocktails so that it can serve everyone.

Regalia

After a sip of the bubbly at the Champagne Bar, why not go across the Royal Promenade to Regalia and pick out a nice bauble?

I am sure that you can find just the right thing here.

The Oasis of the Seas Guest Relations Desk

One of the wonderful things about the Oasis was that because of the technology available in each cabin, one didn't see lines of people at the Guest Relations Desk. Normally, you would expect to see long lines on a ship this large, but there were none. Guest Relations is just past Regalia on the port side of the ship.

The Rising Tide Bar Water Feature

One doesn't expect to see a water feature in the center of the Royal Promenade, but here it is. As the Rising Tide Bar travels between deck5 and deck 8, it is supported by a beautiful and powerful water feature.

The Rising Tide Bar Landing in the Royal Promenade

As the bar nears its place on deck 5, the fountains become smaller and smaller. All in all, it is truly a fascinating concept.

The Rising Tide Bar on Deck 5

Once settled onto deck 5, passengers can finish their libation and continue on their way or just relax and wait for the tide to rise again. Very cool!

The Cupcake Cupboard

Not overlooking the current gourmet cupcake trend throughout the U.S., the Oasis has its own cupcake shop. While there is a charge for the tasty treats, I never walked by without seeing a line of people waiting to buy them.

The Globe and Atlas Pub

Step into the Globe and Atlas Pub and you may as well be stepping into a pub in England.

The Mondo Coffee Bar sits right in the center of the Promenade and serves up specialty coffee drinks and pastries all day long.

On Air

On Air started out as a dedicated karaoke club on the Freedom class ships, but this On Air is spectacular. Beside Karaoke, it offers several large screen T.V. with news, sports, cartoons and so on. There are even Nintendo and Wii stations available.

On Air's Interior

With its own bar, On Air is sure to be a very popular place.

The Opal Theater

Forward of the forward elevator bank at the end of the Royal Promenade is the top level of the Opal Theater. This state-of-the-art theater is excellent. The two shows performed were "Hairspray" and "Come Fly With Me". Both shows got rave reviews.
