After all the hype about the Oasis of the Seas we decided that we just had to give it a go. We had cruised before on the Navigator with my elderly parents and were very impressed with RCI. Our only reservations before boarding was "Would the ship be too big?"
Check in and boarding at Ft Lauderdale was so quick and easy it was unbelievable. No queues. I recollect that we left our hotel in Ft Lauderdale by taxi at 11.20am and were onboard shortly after midday.
Initial impressions are that the ship is enormous. It certainly is and it does take a day or 2 to find your bearings but once you get familiar things become easy. There were 5900 passengers on the cruise and I can honestly say that throughout the entire cruise you were never aware that there were so many guests on board never mind the additional 2100 crew.
Bathroom well planned and plenty of room. Poor layout of bed. Too close to wardrobe and bottom too close to wall.
