Just disembarked from the Oasis of the Seas, where we spent the last seven days on our western Caribbean cruise, and I thought I’d get some thoughts down while everything was still fresh (and before the mundane needs of everyday life took over once again).
I’ll say from the start that my husband and I have experienced our fair share of cruises, and on a few different lines. (We’d actually been on the Oasis once before, back in 2012, and loved it.) This means there are lots of excursions, restaurants and other cruising experiences that we’ve done in the past…and therefore didn’t need to do again. Which means this review might appear a bit basic and missing-the-action for some. However, if you’re the kind of cruiser who’s into finding the best places to lie down with the greatest amount of maximized contentment, as well as where to eat in a way that’s tasty but doesn’t break the bank, and which shows might be worth your time, and what’s up with the internet option, the fitness center and the spa, then I invite you to read on.
Embarkation/Disembarkation/General Tests of Patience
Our ocean view balcony cabin was on the tenth deck, and we were pleasantly surprised by how much storage there was for all of our stuff. Our attendant was lovely and friendly.
Balcony seemed larger than other ships we've been on.
Some noise from crew doors that were nearby.
We always visit Paradise Beach when in Cozumel. Beautiful beach with nice pool, good food and service. Sometimes it can be crowded - but this time it was pretty empty and peaceful. Just what we were looking for!
Easy to navigate cruise terminal for Oasis. It's great that this port is spread out so traffic from each ship does not get in the way of each other.
