We have cruised many times over the past several years with RCI. We have always enjoyed ourselves very much and have never cruised with another cruise line, nor had we ever planned to. In fact, we cruised on Allure just last year and were very happy with it. We just returned from our first B2B on Oasis with another couple. There were many issues and we spent several hours at Guest Services ...
Having traveled quite a bit but never experienced a cruise before, our entire family of 10 decided this was the right time to explore cruising. After reading up on numerous cruises and various ships, we decided to cater to each and everyone of us, the Oasis of the Seas would be the right choice. We are grateful that we did !! The ship in all its glory is very large with something to do for ...
We chose this cruise because of the available shows, specifically the production of Cats and the Ice show (and off day ice skating opportunity). And the shows did not disappoint. Their production of Cats was Broadway quality and the ice show was amazing. We also enjoyed the Dive shows and Headliner show. Of course, to get decent seats (even with our prebooked reservations that we made online ...
Diamond Plus, 7th time on Oasis, 8 on Allure, 2 on Harmony. Just sailed on the Allure in September and the Harmony in October. The food was fine. This time the menu was completely changed. The selections were limited. If you got seafood, or chicken for that matter your sides were a scoop of mashed, a few carrot slices and a few pieces of broccoli. None of the food tasted the same. It was ...
The Oasis of the seas is a beautiful ship! But it was ruined by everything they charged EXTRA for. They are CHEAP, CHEAP, AND CHEAP!!
-Such as $7.95 room service fee. They don’t provide a lanyard for the card, HOWEVER, they sell them for $12.95 EVERYWHERE on the boat.
-If you want a lovely meal (free on other cruise lines), then you pay $$$. The regular dining meals are UNDERWHELMING, and ...
Avoid the balconies on the 12 to 14th floor if you are one that hopes to enjoy even a modest amount day time peaceful relaxation. There is no privacy.
In the afternoons the "music" loudly is blasting down from above the pool deck- what a waste of extra money - never enjoyed our balcony for the whole "vacation".
Poor Guest services- were not helpful, we felt our concern was ...
This was our very first cruise for myself and my family and it by far exceeded every expectation. The ship is beautiful and kept very clean. The staff works very hard to make sure you are always completely satisfied. Everything is always done in an orderly fashion and never once felt chaotic in any way. From boarding the ship, to leaving the gangway during our ashore days, it always ran very ...
We had heard mixed reviews of the Oasis class and larger ships. We were quite surprised; that with 6188 guests on board, it did not seem crowded.
On a couple of days the WindJammer café had a line for the "washy-washy" but the line moved fairly quickly. The same was true at 150 Central Park when we went there for lunch. It took 3-5 minutes to get thru the line, but they could use more seating ...
This was our first cruise ever and did we ever set the bar high. The ship was huge with so much to see and do. Our room (balcony room 12156) was bigger than what we expected. It was clean and comfortable. Even though the ship was huge, it did not feel crowded at all. The food was a bit disappointing. It definitely was plentiful but lacked in taste sadly. It was fine but we weren’t blown away by ...
Royal Caribbean's main dining hall food isn't as good as Carnival, especially not their desserts. However, they did make one dessert I liked this year. It was Warm Dark Chocolate Cookie with Ice Cream and it was very similar to the unbeatable Carnival Warm Chocolate Melting Cake. Although they still don't have as many onboard staff-directed family fun activities like Charades, Pictionary, Bean ...
