Never being on an Oasis class ship, we decided to book to make the ship the destination since we have been to all ports before. Flew in to FLL on Saturday morning from ATL. Took a $15 taxi ride to the port arriving a little early. The wait to board took longer than usual and was not able to board until around 12:30. Booked a GS, but since we are DP was upgraded to a CL and were excited to be in one of the 2 story CL rooms. Since we were not able to board until late, we were able to grab a bite to eat in the Windjammer before the crowds and head to our room.
The room was amazing. The CL is upscale and nicely appointed with a full bath, bar with stools and a lounge/tv area with sofa and chair/ottoman. Going up the stairs, there was a bed, vanity area, closet and another full bath. A second tv was hung from the ceiling over the foot of the bed. The room was amazing. We were in our glory until stepping out to the balcony - where was the ocean? We overlooked the miniature golf course and could see a patch of blue over the back of the ship. We decided to not complain and enjoy the added space in the stateroom. After all we were on vacation and one doesn't want to look a gift horse in the mouth...
Ate most meals in the MDR. Most were good and the service was outstanding. If the menus were revamped, I didn't see it. If you have been cruising a while as we have, you can almost guess what will be on the menu. Tried the Seafood Shack one night and was pleasantly surprised. They had great calamari and fish and chips. The crab cakes were the same served in the MDR and concierge lounge, but I felt that paying for them was not worth it. Had to try one of the famous roast beef sandwiches. Once the salt is shaken off the bread, it was okay, but not worth gushing over. I enjoyed the salad bar more than anything and went back several days for the salad to be made to our liking. The service was quick but trying to find a table was difficult. They also have a bagel bar in the mornings, which we didn't try. Johnny Rockets serves a nice breakfast and was able to get in there one morning for a quick bite. Room service in the early mornings for coffee was quick. Room service during peak times was really slow. For lunch one day, it took over an hour for service to arrive. Tried to stay away from the Windjammer and only ate breakfast there once and lunch on the first day. Food was good both times.
