This was our 4th RCCL cruise, 2nd with our children having previously cruised on DCL twice as a family. We had another fabulous time on RCCL and enjoyed the Oasis of the Seas. The Embarkation process was seamless for our family. We flew in the day before and utilized Happy Limo for our port transfer on our sailing date. The driver dropped us off around 1130 and we were through security, checked in, and on the ship within 30 minutes. The staff managing the lines and the check in agents were kind and efficient in their operations. Our agent even punched a hole in my children's Sea Pass card so they could safely secure in their lanyards. I was truly impressed with the process.
The Oasis is a fantastic, well-maintained, and fairly easy to navigate ship. I enjoyed both the Boardwalk and Central Park areas and their unique offerings. My son zip-lined twice. Our family enjoyed outdoor movies in the AquaTheatre and listening to the strings in Central Park. I will list some of my impressions and feedback for RCCL below.
1. Teen Club- definitely a highlight for both of my kids age 11 and 13. They enjoyed the activities on the Oasis better than the Adventurer of the Seas given more gaming and programming options. We do realize that the spring break travel time and large number of sailing guests increases the ability to provide high level programming due to numbers. I noted on our previous sailing on the Adventurer the teen clubs "reserved" the ice rink, rock wall, and flow rider which did not occur on the Oasis. However, there was more programming so that could be a trade off.
