When Royal Caribbean for the first time (with friends) Ship is very large. Easy to navigate around. They think of everyone aboard , Kids under 6 yrs have their own area, pools and play area. Food is some of the best I've had aboard a ship. I've been on many cruise's on other ship's. Servers are the best, they ask to help, even if in the buffet area, they'll get you any thing you may want, ...
This was a 52 day cruise from Southhampton, England to Bejing, China, thru the Med, Suez Canal and lots of stops.
The good: Wonderful ship, great interior design with 110 volts and 220v. The shower and shower head were adjustable and removable. Great for big people like me. The ship is bigger than our biggest aircraft carrier. (1100 feet long with 16 decks) Sport courts, rock climbing walls ...
This review is of the post-drydock Oasis of the Seas westbound TA (October 15-27,2015). Since we were on the Eastbound pre-drydock TA in September, we can accurately compare the two ships and voyages pre and post dry dock. The overriding factor in the Westbound TA of the Oasis of the Seas has been congestion, overcrowding, and SRO. We have never been on a cruise where the masses tend to dominate. ...
My husband and I sailed on the Oasis in 2013. We fell in love with the ship, the captain (Patrik) and the cruise director (Amy) and had so much fun we decided to book the Transatlantic cruise in conjunction with a cruise around the Canary Islands Adventure of the Seas.The Captain and Amy were visible a lot.
Embarkation was tough due to immigration, a travel agent's tour and a tour by Andrew Lloyd ...
Just back from our Transatlantic on the Oasis of the Seas (15-27 Oct 2014). This is my first cruise review - Have to say I’m very disappointed.
Embarkation – Embarkation at Southampton was an absolute nightmare. As directed by email from RCCI we arrived at 12:00 to embark the ship. This was to find hundreds of people already milling around the doors of the terminal, luckily it was not raining. ...
This review covers the 12 nighter Southampton to Fort Lauderdale transatlantic cruise, along with the following back-to-back 5 nighter to Nassau and Cozumel. We booked a year ago as we wanted to experience the novelty of this one-off cruise departing from home waters on 'the biggest cruise ship in the world'.
Oasis usually operates 7 night cruises from Fort Lauderdale to the sunny Caribbean week ...
I booked this cruise as I wanted to experience Oasis but wasn't that impressed with her Caribbean itinerary she was coming to Europe and we enjoyed our last transatlantic so we went for it.
EMBARKATION : Got there at 12:30 queues where huge so we dropped our luggage and went into Southampton for lunch we went back at 4:30 walked straight on and went to our cabin.
CABIN: Loved it loved it there ...
The whole cruise was a disaster. Boarding 2 hours being crushed in Southampton. Disembarkation 3 hours in a queue at Fort Lauderdale. Ship is beautiful, but badly designed for poor weather. Nothing to do for 10 out of 12 days. Couldn't get into many shows, our designated dining table full of other people, food not hot, wine extortionate, spa a joke - 30 places for 6000 guests so couldn't buy the ...
Boarded in Southampton on a cold and at times rainy afternoon. We were emailed that our category (Diamond) could embark starting at noon. We arrived at the port early, having flown all night from Florida and looking forward to getting checked in. This was NOT to be. Hoards of passengers waiting outside the terminal for hours, the port people ( no one from RCL ever appeared) telling us at various ...
This cruise was far from being a cruise with positive things to remember other than our excellent cabin attendant.
The embarkation & disembarkation process was very poor (it took several hours to get on the ship in Southampton and several hours to get through US Customs processing in Fort Lauderdale.)
Our dining room staff wasn't well trained and their attitude was curt.
Didn't care for the new ...
