Oasis of the Seas Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We have cruised often and prefer small ships. We only went on this trip to be with friends and to see the carousel at sea. We were pleasantly surprised to enjoy this ship tremendously. We didn't feel like there were 6200 other passengers with us on the ship. We never felt bothered by crowds and the only time lots of passengers gathered in one place was during the parades on the Royal Promenade.
Main dining room food was much tastier than other RC ships. Our server was very friendly - the only thing I didn't like was she delivered appetizers, soups and salads all at once. I didn't complain to her - we were far from the kitchen and I guess that several trips would have extended our 2 hour dinners to 2 1/2 hours, and we would have missed our reserved shows.
We did our planning in advance and knew that we needed reservations for all of the shows, but there were always plenty of seats available 10 minutes before showtime for others who did not have reservations.
Cabin Review
The cabins were a little smaller than we expected. We would have liked nightstands with drawers for extra storage as drawer space was limited. The chairs and table on the balcony were a bit nicer than on other ships. We did not hear hallway noise as were were "very" forward but couldn't sit out on the balcony several nights because of party noise from other cabins. The shower was very nice with sliding doors instead of a curtain. The sofa could have been more comfortable but the beds and linens were very comfortable.
