My review of Oasis Of The Seas. I am not going to review ports, only the ship. However our ports were St. Thomas, St. Martin, Nassau.
We are Diamond Plus so have a lot of cruises with RCI to compare to. It defiantly a floating city, with lots to do and see, and probably 1 week is not enough to sample all it has to offer. So many venues, restaurants but still typical RCI oldies but goodies. Love and Marriage game show, The Quest, Parades, all the things that are standard on RCI.
The sheer size of this ship is what stands out, the Royal Promenade is huge, and 2 story, there are shops like Kate Spade, RCI Logo shops and more. It's still mostly the same that you will find on other RCI ships. Cafe Promenade, Sorrento's Pizza, Pubs, Vintages. Outdoors' you will find either the Boardwalk or Central Park. Boardwalk is the "action" place which includes a carousel, Aqua Theater, Johnny Rockets and more. Central Park is very laid back and elegant.
Cabin Review
Boardwalk View Stateroom with Balcony
Boardwalk/Balcony. Very nice, compact, and the bed was next to the door. Our cruise mates had the other configuration 10721 and the bed was by the closet. This was not a good configuration for someone with a scooter, the scooter will not go into the room. So, think about that when booking. Problem was solved when RCI picked up the scooter and charged it every night and then brought it back for my brother in law. The balcony itself has a curved arc glass enclosure which adds room. The table is regular table height which makes it nice to have food on, no stooping down. YES there is a plug at the bed, It's underneath the bed itself, at the head of it. So many people asked about this and so I wanted to let you all know. If you use C-pap it's great, no extension cord needed to go across the room. Noise on the Boardwalk/Balcony, was minimal, and nothing was heard at night. During the Aqua show, it was still fine if the door is closed View from Boardwalk/Balcony is exceptional. I guess you could call it obstructed if you want to, however, it was ocean panorama all the time, except where the Aqua Theater diving towers and stage sit, as well as the Jumbo Tron TV. My only issue is at night, you can't see or hear the ocean, so if that is your thing, that cabin is not for you. I would probably not do it again, because I love to sit out at night and listen to the ocean, but you can't beat the daytime view of the Boardwalk and Aft.
