Sail Date: Oct 2013

I sailed on the Oasis with a Travel Agency to celebrate Halloween. I booked the cruise back in February and got a Central Park balcony for the low price of $1890 traveling by myself. My Parents and sister had already sailed the Oasis so I came into it expecting big things, especially since my only previous cruise was on a Carnival ship.

The ship: Oasis is a big ship with lots to do an see. This is both a pro and a con. The pro's is that there are lots of options when it comes to food and entertainment. The con is that the ship is so big that unless your an explorer you probably won't find all the nooks and crannies and there will be some things that you wanted to do that you will miss.

My room: I had a Central Park balcony, 14209, mid ship. This was not the ideal location as there are only two elevator banks on the ship, one forward and one aft. This means that if you get a mid ship cabin that there will be lots of walking. My suggestion would be to get a forward cabin if possible as everything but the dining, Boardwalk, Dazzles, and a few other things are forward. If your a balcony lover I suggest doing a Boardwalk or ocean view. Central Park is good for people watching but you wont be able to tell your at sea. There were complaints about noise on both interior balcony locations. In Central Park noise came down from the pool deck, but you could only hear it on the balcony, on the Boardwalk I heard people complain about people yelling on the zip line.

Cabin Review

Good clean spacious room with plenty of storage. Love the shower that doesn't flood. Only time noise from pool deck was noticeable was when you were on the balcony.
