We chose this cruise because this date worked for everyone. We really did not want to go on one of the mega ships thinking it would be too big. We actually did not find the ship to feel much larger than the other ships we have cruised on. Once we figured out where everything was we settled into an enjoyable week. We staked out some chairs on the first sea day and were able to find everyone in our group in that area of the ship.

Food - the food on New Years Eve was exceptional. We knew the food would not be as good the rest of the cruise and we were correct. Some dishes were great & others not so great. In general, the apps were very good and the desserts were not so good. They need a new pastry chef on the Oasis. The dining room staff and all the staff on board were great. In general we found the staff to be the best of any cruise we were previously on. We ate in the dining room every morning and the food was good with good selections. For lunch we ate at the Park Cafe, great salads and sandwiches. We did not eat in the Windjammer. I went one lunch with my mom and it was quite crowded, as I expected. She said the food was good.

Our cabins were as expected - clean and small. I thought the bathroom was larger than other ships and we fit everything comfortably - we were in a balcony on deck 10 mid-aft of ship which was a very good location. Read more
