Oasis of the Seas Review

Additional details
We are a couple in our 50's from Australia doing our fourth cruise. We holidayed in New York & Canada and wanted to end our trip with a Caribbean cruise on the biggest cruise liner in the world.
Oasis of the Seas was certainly big and flashy and a marvel to engineering. We saw too much of the ship being built and what it offered on the internet before going. We won't do that next time as we knew what to expect! After a few days when you get beyond the WOW factor, you begin to see the cruise for what it is.
FOOD Food was a big disappointment! It was very average throughout the ship and catered for QUANTITY, not QUALITY. The only really good venue was the SOLARIUM on the pool deck which catered for a really healthy buffet breadfast & lunch although I don't know why they should charge a fee for dinner! Buffet breakfast in the main dining room & Windjammers was very basic and limited in the range of food. No chefs to order an omlette was disappointing. We tried room service for breakfast one morning and that was very limited in what you could order.
Cabin Review
Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony
Cabin was bigger than we expected. The outside balcony was big too. The big negative about it was we were locked out on the balcony one morning. The latch closed from the inside and were not able to get back in. THIS IS A BAD DESIGN FLAW. People were getting off the port but luckily another person was on his balcony a few cabins down and we yelled out for help. Half an hour later we were rescued.
