Oasis of the Seas Review

Additional details
Oh, Royal Caribbean. We hardly knew thee…
I’m writing this on the flight home, so the last week aboard Oasis of the Seas is still fresh in my mind. I don’t want to forget anything.
First, the good. The ship is easy to understand once the “neighborhood” concept sinks in. And, the neighborhood thing was cool. We loved Central Park especially – on calm days it really did seem to be a city park, complete with storefront restaurants, a little bar and plenty of seats among the lush, and live, vegetation. Boardwalk was also a great place to grab a hot dog, a cup of ice cream, a drink or a ride on the merry-go-round. We saw a couple of movies under the stars, watched the water show (excellent) and had one of the wait staff try to explain the cricket game…match…on TV while we were dipping chips into amazing guacamole at Sabor.
Cabin Review
Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony
Comfortable. Missing some of the perks we've come to expect - wine glasses, ice, bathrobes. Balcony door hard to open, knuckle banger sometimes upon closing. TV with very limited channels, although we did pick up a bit of an interest in cricket.
Port Reviews
Port Canaveral (Orlando)
Stayed at an Airbnb property for two days ahead of the cruise. Love Cocoa Beach!
St. Maarten
We went downtown and hit the beach bars. Very friendly, welcoming people.
San Juan
Ship only stayed for a few hours. However, the self-guided tour of the Fort, and a walk through the monuments and memorials along Contstitution were impressive. Loved it!
