Overcrowded. Up-charges ridiculous. No room for popular shows as they sell out prior to cruising. Limits freedom to do things on your own time. Feeling like you are on a schedule limits relaxation. The Thermal suite in the spa is a crowded noisy joke. Wine tasting was boring and formal. Several activities were like that in spa as well, being scolded for talking like you are a child. Not fun.

Oasis is a beautiful ship with very well-though out areas to relax. The trouble is when at capacity it is over-crowded everywhere. We typically pay extra for a pass to thermal suite for a quiet place to relax but even that was overcrowded! Shows were crowded. Employees were obviously over-worked and disgruntled. Many were rude or had the attitude that we were troubling them with special requests for gluten free items or other needs. There is no info regarding dining room menus or formal nights so we ended up getting it wrong, or when we were dressed appropriately others were in shorts and flip-flops. The up-charges for specialty dining is outrageous. One noght we went to Chops and paid an extra $100 including wine and lobster only to find out there was Lobster and Prime Rib offered in the dining room that night. There's limited info online regarding these details so it is impossible to know what to expect.
