Oasis of the Seas Review

Additional details
Great ship.. Good Service..Lots to do.. Internet access awesome - best in the cruise fleet. Will definitely sail on Oasis again. Very quiet room except during aqua theater show (this is not a complaint) - good view of the Boardwalk and the Aqua show from our balcony. Even though there were probably 6000 passengers, getting on and off the ship in ports was very quick and easy - no waiting, no queuing - just proceeded through security and walked across the gangway. We were always able to get a table for 2 in the dining room for breakfast and lunch and we always found a table on the buffet deck. The crew seemed to be a happy sort - everyone I talked to liked working on the Oasis - good morale breeds good customer service. Two complaints: 1.Either there are too many diamond members or the diamond facilities are too small - if not improved, will cause a problem for RCL loyalty 2. We don't like the filter CNN puts on their "news" and prefer to hear the news, not opinions - Luckily for us the Internet access (VOOM) was superior (I measured it at 6 mbps) - we could stream FOX News!
Cabin Review
Boardwalk View Stateroom with Balcony
Good location - you can watch the aqua theater show from your balcony. Quiet except during the aqua show. Closet space was only adequate - good thing it was not an Alaska cruise. There is plenty of drawer space, a large couch and a refrigerator that was ready to use - not clogged with "for sale mini-bar" items. One minor thing to be aware of if you book a Boardwalk or Central Park view room: keep the curtain drawn at night. We had to remind ourselves to stay mindful that people can see into your stateroom from the rooms across the Boardwalk.
Port Reviews
St. Thomas
Great port. We enjoy visiting the art gallery and dress shop on Palm Passage.
Nassau
Nassau needs a little cleaning up.
St. Maarten
A safe place to rent a car and drive around the island for "on your own" sightseeing.
Port Canaveral (Orlando)
Terminal 1 is new and seemed to be well organized - embarkation and debarkation was very smooth - no more than 30 minutes from departure time on the ship to through immigration and in the car on our way home.
