This is my first Cruise Critic review, although I have written hundreds for TripAdvisor. I don't think this is necessarily a typical review, but here goes. I hope it is of benefit!
OASIS was my 30th cruise; I started cruising at the age of 11 onboard Royal Caribbean's very first ship, the SONG OF NORWAY, in 1974. As a comparison, the SONG was an 18,500 ton, 550' ship that carried just over 700 passengers, based on double occupancy. Half the length, 1/10th the passengers, and about 1/10th the interior size! Google it; there is a comparison shot of models of both ships side by side and it truly is amazing. The growth of the cruise industry in one single photo.
Needless to say, the cruise industry is virtually unrecognizable since those early days! However I usually cruise 2 - 3 times per year and have adapted to and mostly embraced the changes over the years. Also, to put things in context, I worked in the cruise industry for several years and also owned and operated a travel agency. Ships have always been my love and obsession! I will sail on anything that floats!
Cabin Review
Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony
Cabin D6
Great cabin, can't fault it at all. Plenty of storage for a 7-day ship, including a very large closet with safe. The bathroom was nice especially the shower DOOR versus a shower curtain, although some might find it claustrophobic. The bed was great and the bedding was fantastic. Slept like a log. Most importantly, this particular cabin was QUIET, which is nice considering the overall noise level on OASIS.
