This ship is up there with my other favorite ship the Adventure of the Seas. The Oasis surpassed it with the outside areas and the wonderful promenade. The ports were OK, we just wanted to be on the ship with the Boardwalk and Aqua Theatre, Central Park with its great restaurants and shops, the full Broadway show of CATS, phenomenal show, the wonderful ice skating show Frozen in Time show, Oasis of Dreams show. The only problem was that you had to make reservations in advance for all activities.
The pool areas were beautiful, beach area with umbrellas, lovely solarium, kids pool. Once again, kids I the hot tubs...little ones too.
The food..Izumi and Hibachi was excellent as well as Giovanni's Table and Chops Grille. The Windjammer closed some days at 3 pm, which was too early. Coming back from shore people dealt with the heavy traffic to the Windjammer. Lines all over the 16th deck.
Excellent location, near elevators and view. Wasn't portside, but was lovely. Close to the stairs,Not under the Windjammer, but up 3 flats and 4 to the pool.
