Oasis was surprisingly vegan friendly and had incredible shows.

Sail Date: Dec 2016
Cabin: Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony

We just got back from a 7 day trip on the OASIS of the Seas. It is only our third cruse, three years ago we were on the FREEDOM of the Seas, and two years ago on the Disney Wonder.

One of the biggest things we were conceded with, especially after the Disney Cruise, was how vegan friendly the food options would be on the Oasis and we were blown away. The Windjammer always had a ton of options and there were great things at the Solarium as well for breakfast and lunch. Sabor was another nice treat.

Another huge plus for us were the shows on the ship. The water show Dreams was truly spectacular and we loved the Frozen in Time ice show. Very creative takes on the Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tales. The comedy show was as expected, a very funny routine.

Cabin Review

Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin D3

Cabin itself was very good. Two things that we didn't like and would change if booking on Oasis again.

1. Our cabin was near the back end of the ship and had "extensions" that came off our balcony which effectively worked like blinders in affecting our view. Didn't ruin anything, but have had balcony rooms on both the Freedom of the Seas and the Disney Wonder and prefer the view without them.

2. We also like being in a bed closer to the balcony, and our configuration had the couch closest to the balcony. If I had thought about it earlier, I would have requested a change. More of a personal thing.

Decent amount of storage throughout the cabin, and the space under the bed was big enough to fit all 5 pieces of our luggage.

Port Reviews

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

Getting in and out of Port Canaveral was a breeze on both ends, which was especially surprising at the end. The ship was running behind so - I'm assuming - more people were leaving in groups at intervals closer than usual, but the porters working the luggage were great. Parking was simple and the check in process couldn't have been easier.

Labadee

Labadee is always great, but certainly a step below Disney's Castaway Cay. Girlfriend signed up for Yoga on the beach that was five stars. Finding good seating afterwards was not as easy. Buffet was solid and had great options for both of us.
