Sail Date: Jan 2014

Having sailed with Royal Caribbean several times my group was very disappointed with Oasis of the Seas. It appeared that so much room was used for Central Park and Boardwalk they decreased the size of the buffet, dining room and the staterooms. We had to wait in line to be seated for both breakfast and lunch as the buffet had much less seating space.

This was the first time that my husband and I purchased the drink package for $385.00 p.p. However, once a waiter saw your card you never saw them again... it .was like they were told that the drinks were paid for in advance no need to keep going back to them. This happened in the casino and also around the pool.

The dining room service was excellent and the food was good but they did NOT enforce the dress policy. Every night men were dressed in shorts (even on formal night) and one gentleman showed up every evening in black shorts, black shirt, black cowboy hat and flip flops. (If you book this cruise hopefully you will not be assigned to deck three for dining as you will look out all of the windows to view a lifeboat). This is NOT an elegant dining room like you would expect on this type of ship.

Cabin Review

Smaller then balcony rooms on other ships, no speaker in room to hear ship announcements.
