We sailed on the Oasis of the Seas 7 night western Caribbean cruise with our two kids (my daughter is 7 & my son is 10) this spring break and had an absolutely amazing time. We had an outside balcony and our room layout (pull out couch) was really comfortable for the four of us (mind you we are all really short!) There was room to unpack (room for suitcases under the bed) and with our room steward packing the bed away each day everything was very comfortable. Our stateroom was on the 6th floor right off of the Boardwalk... I was concerned about noise but there were no issues.

Kids club

The youth staff and programs were excellent ... my kids made good friends and loved being there (by the end they wanted to be there all the time!) Watch for the talent show and kids pirate parade on ship days... they had a blast. There are morning, afternoon and evening sessions with different themes and organized activities. The kids can also opt to stay with the kids club for meals and they will be brought to one of the restaurants (usually the Windjammer). There were science labs, theater and character events, crafts, games and sports every day. There wasn't a lot of free-play time... everything was highly organized and supervised. There is some flexibility in the age ranges if the kids want to stay with siblings or friends, but mostly kids are encouraged to stick with their age group. It worked out great for my kids. Read more
