About the Reviewer: I’m in my late 30s and sailed on the Oasis of the Seas solo on the October 10th to October 17, 2021 cruise. This was my 48th overall cruise and my fifth with Royal Caribbean. I booked under an amazing solos rate for a balcony room. This ship was chosen due to its size and the lower passenger counts and amount of fresh air venues within the ship. Over half my sailings have been ...
Boarding was quick as not many people there. Our time was 1 pm. Got there about 12:15. Walked right into the terminal.
On board in 20 minutes. Had to wear mask during entire boarding process. Ship was about 50% capacity. Windjammer was only serving on one side. Windjammer was no longer self serve. Ship provided the servers. Went quickly.
Rooms ready at 2 pm. All ship's staff wore masks ...
We had a great time on this cruise the only issue was they did not have any post cards or anything for younger children to purchase. Multiple cruisers were looking for these items as well. When we got to the Bahamas a lot of the stores were closed down (most likely due to covid) so we were unable to bring anything back for our grandkids which was a bummer.
The cruise itself was nice the kids ...
WE were on our 50th annivesary with Kids and grandkids .. previous two cruises were cancelled because of covid .
.. The ship was not filled , so I was suprised to see we were not upgraded as we are Diamond cruisers .
Entertainment was sparse , no daily shows in the Amber auditorium ... But Mama Mia was a great show with only 10% of the seats filled .. Food in the main dining room was ...
We chose this cruise to take a much needed and overdue family vacation. We have cruised with Royal Caribbean many times and to be honest this was our first bad experience. I aired my grievances with guest services and was told by Amit at the front desk he would call me back and leave a message for me in my stateroom. Unfortunately, I never heard back from him.
We scheduled this trip before ...
Finally it is cruising time again!
And you could feel that vibe all over the ship :-)
In advance, we had to deal with a lot of paperwork (PLF for Spain, covid safe ticket, PLF for Italy, embarkation ticket, health quastionnaire, QR-code for covid test before boarding...) It was kind of stressfull.
When we arrived at the terminal, we had to show our embarkation ticket at least 5 times at ...
This was supposed to be canaries but was just Belfast and Liverpool.
This junior suite cabin is directly above the ladies public toilets on deck 5 so if you like to sleep before 2 or 3am don’t book this one.
All I could hear was toilets flushing continuously. Once people eventually went to bed I had the sound of a toilet filling up with water sloshing about until 8 or 9am! Guest services ...
We chose this cruise because it was a nine day, sailed from Galveston, and we had never been on this ship. We have sailed on 25 cruises with four cruise lines. This cruise was special because we have not been able to do much since March 2020. The embarkation, disembarkation and muster drill were AWESOME. Appointments for embarkation made it less stressful and very organized. Disembarkation ...
We had a fairly good vacation on The Freedom of the Seas. It was our first RC cruise and even though we love cruising, we're not sure if we'll book another with RC. I had originally booked another boat and bought tickets to Coco Cay at a very good price. The company swapped boats and cancelled my Coco Cay tickets. When I asked if I could get them for the same price again, they refused so I had to ...
This was our first cruise since January of 2020, with six canceled cruises in between. We have previously sailed aboard the Oasis and Harmony of the Seas, so we were already familiar with the basic layout of the ship. Passengers aboard appeared to be about 25-30 percent of actual capacity, which was wonderful from the boarding process to the departure, and everything in between.
Food in the ...
