Oasis of the Seas is a beautiful ship. It is clean and our cabin had more than ample room for my husband and me. We are thrilled that the bathrooms now are a bit larger and that the showers have a glass door. No more fighting with the dreaded shower curtain! The hidden treasure for us on the ship was the Solarium. Cruise Critic had suggested to head there for lunch as opposed to the Windjammer café where everyone else would be. That was true and the food was tasty. Outside of the Solarium eatery is an adult only area with chase lounges, tables, hot tubs and lovely wicker furniture. We found that we spent most of our time relaxing in this area as it was quiet and had a beautiful view of the water and was breezy as well.

The dining experience was outstanding. We had dinner each night at Silk. Our waiters Armand and Alberto became like family to us and met every need we had before we even knew we needed something. We had signed up for My Time dining and the first night of the cruise there was a 90 minute wait. We did not realize that we had to have reservations. It was a nightmare. We immediately went to the dining room and were switched to the 8pm dining which was perfect. We could have a relaxing dinner while not feeling hurried for the next group to come in. After dinner we would see shows or go to events. We highly recommend "Come Fly With Me" "Frozen in Time" & Quest. We chose not to attend "CATS" as we had heard other passengers say they did not care for it and left at intermission. The street parade the last evening was so much fun. The service was outstanding. Every crew member greeted you in a friendly and kind manner.

We did 3 excursions. In Nassau we did the Blue Lagoon Sea Lion interaction. It was wonderful and the Sea Lions were a riot. We just loved it and the 40 minute boat ride to the excursion was beautiful. We would have liked for the captain of the excursion boat to point out some areas along the water other than the Atlantis resort.

Cabin Review

Central Park View Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin C1

Our cabin was 1 deck below the pool. Be ready for some loud music at the pool the first day as everyone is in party mode. Other than that the room was very quiet. Some mornings we would hear pool chairs being dragged by other cruisers, but other than that very quiet. The stateroom was roomy and the balcony just beautiful as you hear birds singing every morning. There is always a nice breeze. We wished that an ocean view balcony would have been available but when we booked in February the ocean view balconies were sold out. So, book early. Can't wait till our next cruise!
