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 ...
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 ...
Oasis is a great ship --- lots to do, great staff, wonderful dining opportunities. We loved our cruise, but feel we need to mention two negatives.
On Oasis, you can purchase a beverage package for soda. Their are seven soda machines on the ship, four in Windjammer Cafe. As any given time, several of them are broken; also, when the Windjammer is closed, 4 of the 7 are inaccessible. We paid ...
We chose this cruise because we were RCCL Loyalists. Unfortunately, our expectations were not met. Service had declined in many areas from the number of dining room attendants per table to what is offered on the menu to even getting freshly ground pepper on your salad.
The shows although extravagant, were actually boring. for example the ice show had a child's theme.
When in a port of ...
Went on RC Oasis with a family group of ten out of Port Canaveral, Jan 28..........
Our embarkation went a smoothly as any ship we have ever been on. For some 6,000 passengers, RC has this down very well out of Port Canaveral. I think we were aboard it under 20 minutes. We carried our own bags off and this also went fairly fast.
We had three cabins for our group with balcony's over the ...
Embarkment was fast. We dropped our luggage and parking was a breeze. Once on ship we ate lunch in the windjammer. Never seemed liked their was 6450 people aboard our ship. This was my second cruise. I Loved IT!!!!! can't wait till my next one. The service was amazing. The food plentiful....something for everyone.....Ship is beautiful....my favorite hang out spot was the solarium....had dinner in ...
This was a group tour. The ship is nice, but the cruise is all about the ship. I prefer to see new ports and experience new sights. The Central Park in the Oasis class of ships is really great. Its nice to see plants when sailing for 3 days with nothing to look at but water. The food in the main dining room was very good. Service in the dining room was slow, but friendly, and they tried to ...
We travelled with kids so we were looking for activities and enterteinment for them. DreamWorks experience was a good option.
Good quality and variety of food. Waitress and all staff in dining and eating places great
confortable cabin for 4 (since we are a family of 5, I d like to know if there are cabins for 5, this time we travelled with my mother in law, so we used two cabins).
The ...
Cabins are not well maintained (sheets were torn, modeling coming off). Also, service in dining and activities suffers. Not the crew's fault, it's simply too large to provide a quality experience that you would expect if you've cruised on other lines/ships. On the first night in the main dining room they could not find our table so we were left standing there for 10 minutes. The food, while ...
