Passenger decks

Oasis of the Seas was the first Oasis-class ship. It is roughly 361.8 meters long, around 226,838 gross tons after amplification, and can carry up to 6,699 passengers at max capacity.

Cabin location

Brandon and Chase are booked in cabin 10304 on Deck 10. Official Royal paperwork identifies it as category 4D. Public cabin trackers place it in the balcony-cabin zone on Deck 10, likely on the aft side of the ship. Treat the exact side placement as third-party guidance, not official Royal confirmation.

Muster and evacuation basics

What to do on embarkation day

Watch or review the safety information in the Royal app or stateroom TV if available
Listen for the emergency signal example and review the safety steps
Physically go to your assigned muster station and complete check-in there

What to do in a real emergency

When the emergency signal sounds, head straight to your muster station
Do not go back to your cabin to collect a life jacket
Follow crew instructions immediately
Your muster station is shown in the Royal app / SeaPass area and typically posted by the cabin door

Emergency signal

Royal Caribbean's guidance describes the general alarm as seven short blasts and one long blast. On Oasis-class ships, the safety process is designed to get you to your assigned muster station quickly without returning to your room.
