I know we all enjoy different things on a cruise and have different experiences. I am going to walk you through my experience on the Oasis of the Seas and what I noted that might be useful for others who plan to go on her to know.
As we boarded directly onto the Promenade I noticed a D.J. above the cupcake shop and energetic music playing. It was a fun atmosphere. I think I would say I find this ship was a lot of fun! The Promenade is vast and outside the On Air bar is a ticker like for the NY stock exchange with the facts about the ships, things like how many pools etc. You will also find this on the t.v. when there is a brief period to load. We decided to go to Giovanni's Table for lunch the first day to avoid the buffet crowds. I think this was a great idea. Lunch is $15 a person and was fabulous! And a nice quiet way to start our cruise! The antipasta was fabulous, they used a old hand crank slicer for the prosciutto. They had really good pastas and my partner got the stuffed chicken, it was really good, I had shrimp that was the largest I had ever seen. Dessert included hazelnut canoli and taramisu. I would highly recommend this restaurant. It is really worth the extra money!
While we are talking about food I will go through all the food places I did try. We only tried one for fee restaurant so I cannot rate the others. We went to the dining room once for lobster night. The lobster was HUGE. I would say they were about twice the size of usual lobster tails. The dining room staff was great and it was beautiful. I especially loved the asparagus soup.
Not large but great use of space. Lots of added shelves and under cabinet spaces. We did not feel crowded.
