Like so many before me and as proven in pictures and video, Oasis is HUGE...to the point where it was just to overwhelming for us. We're mid-30's professionals and we were celebrating my birthday during the cruise. We are not snobby, nor are we use to living a posh lifestyle, so as you read my review please don't be quick to think I am complaining to much...I will be giving my honest review of the ship, staff, passengers, common areas and ports.
Arrival to Fort Lauderdale-
We arrived at 8:30am on a red-eye from San Francisco; if you're coming from the west coast, this is the BEST way to go in my opinion. After collecting our bags (the airport was not at all busy), we inquired about the RCCL shuttle with one of the many FRIENDLY employees; these are mainly senior citizens...who knew more about Oasis then some of the ship's employees! After about a thirty minute wait, and with much more information than I found online, we boarded a bus. We made one stop at a second terminal and then were off for the port. About 10-15 minutes later, we arrived at the port...and Oasis was there, AMAZING in size. As a grown man, I have to say it was (almost) breathtaking...I didn't get as giddy as my girlfriend.
