We found Chicago to be boring. My wife had us walk out in the middle of the show (she didn't like the movie either). Blue Planet though, was the best show production I have ever seen. Land or Sea. And Aqua theater is amazing. But there is no place on God's planet earth that I'd rather be,than sitting on a bench, in front of Park Cafe, eating pastries and drinking coffee. Than on an Oasis class ship, in "Central Park"! What a place! Never saw hardly anybody ride the hand carved carousel anyways. Anywhere you went. You could always get there via a walk through the park. Just get to deck 8. go forward or aft. then go up or down from there. (Our cabin was on deck 8 too!). There is no need to spend extra money on this boat. With the possible exception of a couple of cups of Starbuck's! There are just to many places to eat here. Although we did do Samba's!

Cruising will never be the same after you leave this ship, Yes it's crowded, Yes there are 20 minute wait times for an elevator. But the plusses WAY outway the few problems. And what an AMAZING 7 day's at sea this truly was. I am eagerly awaiting Oasis III. Currently under construction At STX France shipyards in Europe.
