Oasis of the Seas Review

Additional details
I chose this cruise because eight other couples were going on this particular ship. At many times the crowds on board were overwhelming. The service and shows were top notch, but a lot of the time we felt like we were living in a high class shopping mall. There is too much emphasis on pushing the merchandise. If I wanted to shop, I could go to any neighborhood mall at home.
Labadee was the most beautiful port, but it isn't able to handle the 6800 passengers. We couldn't get a beach chair within sight of the beach. The lines for lunch stretched around the buildings. The local artisan merchants were too pushy and refused to take no for an answer.
St Maarten was beautiful, and is still trying to recover from the hurricane. The Golden Eagle sail away excursion was fun, but the snorkeling was poor; cloudy water, and crowded.
Cabin Review
Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony
Cabin was as expected, tight but adequate. Cabin steward was exceptional. Cabin was very quiet and private.
Port Reviews
Labadee
Too crowded. Couldn't handle 6800 passengers from one ship. Port is beautiful, particularly from the 16th deck in a lounge chair with a cool breeze - while everyone else is ashore waiting in line for lunch.
