Our title and description might sound contradictory, but they sum up how we felt after the cruise. We're glad we did it since we always wanted to try a back-to-back and the Oasis, but we will probably not go back unless with extended family or a group that would like to experience it. Basically, we like to cruise to rest and relax and this is not the ship for that.

Don't get us wrong. The ship is beautiful and truly an engineering marvel. Most of the staff is wonderful. I apologize if I sound mostly "negative". I wouldn't like to discourage future cruisers - everyone should try this class of ship at least once. I would just like to offer my review as CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM as RCI goes into new builds and perhaps rethinks the Oasis Class ships with the alleged third sister.

BACKGROUND - We are an active, bordering on athletic, middle aged couple. We have only cruised together on Royal Caribbean although DW has also cruised on Princess and Carnival. Since we both work in the travel industry, we also deal very directly and constantly with luxury cruise lines such as Azamara, Silversea, Seabourn, Oceania, Sea Dream and Regent Seven Seas. Read more
