Oasis of the Seas not for ocean lovers who love serenity

Additional details
Our 7th cruise in general, our 4th cruise with RC, first time on Oasis of the Seas, first time on a Holiday Christmas Cruise for me and multiple times Holiday Cruise for my significant other. This was a large group family with teens celebration cruise.
Hotel: we stayed at the Sheraton the night before, printed out last minute luggage tags, borrowed their stapler to staple the tags to our luggage, at lunch and dinner at the Sheraton (menu is the same unfortunately) thank goodness for the Sheraton Lounge Access for drinks and snacks, shuttle is not free, parking is not free
Port Parking: we dropped of one group and then we parked our car for the week (FL resident) took shuttle to the dock, the drivers tend to pick and choose who they want to "help" looking for easy big tippers I guess (we overheard a bit of irritated drivers bickering amongst each other about which passengers they were "helping" out of turn) perhaps they are judging by who looks richer ?
Cabin Review
Boardwalk View Stateroom with Balcony
Cabin Deck 12 Category C2 Deck 12 Category D5 Deck 8 Category B1 : Our group all had quiet small cabins. The safe is much smaller compared to other ships ( an ipad mini barely fits inside and you can stack maybe 7 ipad mini on top of each other ) Towel Animals in all our rooms hurray ! The boardwalk and park view also offers a view of the sky and Deck 15. Balcony is great for drying wet stuff. Outlet in on top of the desk easy access. Large luggage will slide under the beds. Beds are comfortable enough like Westin Heavenly Beds. Shower water pressure and heat are glorious. The shower has sliding doors and you will need to squat to pick up fallen items. We heard some people having to slide the shower doors open in order to bend over to pick up stuff off the shower floor LOL. A few more metal wall knobs would have been nice to hang stuff up in the bathroom or main room. Bed is barely a foot away from the closet and I can see that being a problem for larger people.
