This is my family's third cruise but first with RCI. The two prior have bee with Disney. Each cruise we have gone with the entire family, all 18 of us.

Embarkation - This was fast! We arrived at 11am and the process must of only taken 20/25 minutes total.

Ship/Amenities - WOW IS THIS SHIP BIG! I can't imagine what the Oasis must be like after seeing this! There are plenty of areas to explore, however the promenade is where you will spend most of your time, since it is the only place to get food fast and meet conveniently. The theming of the ship is a little bizarre, I didn't really connect everything but individually it was all nice, especially the artwork in the stairways. The Sports Deck definitely elevated the cruise experience. We enjoyed the Flow rider and Rock climbing because it is not something many cruises have. Some advice is to experience these activities early in the week, and either when they first open or during port days. On sea days you knew that you were on board with thousands of other guests, especially near the pools. The Fitness center was well equipped and always busy, but I could always find the machines I wanted without problem. Stateroom - My three cousins and I stayed in an Interior stateroom and it was surprisingly comfortable. The rest of the family were in balcony rooms, but I didn't feel left out not having one. We all fit our clothes and everything fine and it was definitely worth the money saved. I might never go back to a balcony knowing that the value is there for a interior. Our room attendant kept everything very nice, and we couldn't of asked more of him. Read more
