We sailed on Oasis of the Seas 9/15/12 for the second time. We are two middle aged women . This cruise did not disappoint and we actually enjoyed the second time more than the first. I think that is because we were familiar with the ship, met wonderful people, and loved the ports.
With our new gold status we found no one in line so we got our sea passes very quickly and were ready to board at 10:30. We were on the ship at 11:15! Rooms ready at 1 and luggage at 3.
We bought the Central Park dining package which was a wonderful deal and recommended it to a few people we met who also bought and loved it. We had to dine at Giovanni's Table the first night and then reserve Chops and 150 Central once on the ship. We had no problem making reservations because we did it as soon as we boarded.
