We tried a 7 day MSC Seaside cruise the week before Oasis. It sure felt great to get on a real cruise ship again on the Oasis of the Seas. Granted the MSC Seaside was a beautiful ship but the minuses far outweighed the pluses. Been there,done that, and its back to RCCL or X for us! Have 2 more future cruises booked on them. Rooms are larger,food is better,service is better,shows are better, customer service is better, everything is better! The price on our Oasis cruise was less than MSC so it proves you don't always get what you pay for. MSC claims it is the "European Style" of cruising and it is definitely not for us.We were very excited to go on that new ship but boy did they let us down. They need to take lessons from RCCL or X on how to provide a great cruise.
