My niece chose this cruise, her friends recommended it. Oasis of the Seas didn't disappoint. We were an extended family of eight... Aunts, Uncles, Grammas, Sisters, Spouses...ages 8, 18, 45, 50, 55, 61, 70 and 70. We shared three consecutive cabins w/balconies (14282, 14284 and 14286) great location. Cabins were quiet and roomier than I expected (I had not cruised in 20 years). Plenty of storage space (very efficient use of space). Loved this ship... you could do nothing or everything... its up to you. There are sooo many choices, be sure to spend some time before embarking to see what you want to enjoy! Great entertainment, loved Disco night. Reserve in advance for larger groups. I purchased the non-alcoholic beverage package and felt it was worthwhile. Loved going for my iced caramel lattes with almond milk at the Cafe Promenade, and the yummy non-alcoholic Pina Coladas. We did no food upgrades, no need for us. Service was excellent everywhere.Clean ship. I always enjoyed cruising and was soooo excited to be back on the "seas" (it had been over 20 years). I would surely recommend a balcony, looking out at the ocean was so beautiful and relaxing. Loved it day and night. . This was a great family vacay. We are planning another Oasis of the Seas cruise. Everyone had a great time. Effortless. Never felt crowded. Easy on/off. Print off and place cabin tags on luggage, you'll save time and be happy you did! Arrive early, board the ship as soon as possible, avoid lines, enjoy the ship before departure! Great gym too... come and enjoy Oasis of the Seas. There's something for everyone!!!
