Sail Date: Jul 2010
Cabin: Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Large Balcony

Just returned from the Oasis at 10am on Sunday 18th July and the ship is as the Americans say - AWESOME! and FABULOUS! The shows are top notch - better than some we have seen in the West End, the staff are attentive but not as attentive as the Celebration that we were on last year.

The superior stateroom was lovely and the shower room was great, the balcony was lovely to sit on in the evening before and after going out with a bottle of wine (the wine package was worthwhile buying as it is very expensive to buy separately). The drinks are expensive - $6.95 for a small bottle of Strongbow for example but saying that our total bar bill was $1000 for a week (excluding the £350 we paid for the wine package of 20 bottles). As you can see we do like a drink but we drank a lot less than going to other holiday locations as it was so hot we drank water during the day! The only downside was that you could only get your wine at dinner, so we ended up having to have one with the meal and then take the other one for the next afternonn/evening on the balcony back to the room to put in the fridge).

The My time dining was the only place we had to queue up even though we had booked all of our times before we left - it seems that even those who walked through got through quicker than the line for the ones who had already booked. We went to Giovanni's for two evenings (cost $15 each) but to be honest the food was not any better than the My time dining.

Cabin Review

Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Large Balcony

Cabin D1

Superior Stateroom with large balcony, great view of the sea and very private.

Shower large and good water pressure. Bathroom small but serviable. Bed large and very comfortable. Wardrobe was a little awkward to get into from one side although plenty of space when you did open it from ontop of the bed. Nice TV which swivelled to either the bed or the sofa bed. Small fridge stored with mini bar biscuits and tins which we took out to put our wine in. Hairdryer very servisable. Small coffee table which we moved to the side to give us more floor space.
