My family and I departed on January 21, 2012 on a 7 day much needed vacation aboard the Oasis of the Seas. My short review of the ship itself is that lives up to the hype it has received for being the largest ship on the seas! The ship is ENORMOUSLY GARGANTUAN to put it lightly! She casts a giant shadow over all the other ships in Port Everglades. The amount of detail that Royal Caribbean put forth throughout the entire ship is pretty jaw dropping. Here is the rest of my (detailed) review...

EMBARKATION: The cameras weren't working correctly when we got to Port Everglades around 1100 so the wait to board the floating resort took a little longer than we expected, but not bad at all. We boarded on Deck 5, the Royal Promenade and all 6 of us stood there for a moment to take it all in. What an amazing piece of work. We were immediately greeted with the Cupcake Shop, 3 bar areas, and the Pizza restaurant. NOTE*** Make your way to Deck 8 when you board and head to the Park Cafe for roast beef sandwiches. You won't be disappointed!

CABIN: We went the money saving route when we booked and decided on the "Inside Guarantee Stateroom " (Through Vacations To Go) meaning we didn't know where we were going to stay, just that we were guaranteed a room on the ship. The room is small but utilized well. Just enough space to put clothing away and lay your head at night. I personally like to brush my teeth in cold water, and it seemed as though we didn't have that in our room very often. NOTE*** These rooms are pitch black at night, so it's easy to lose track of time because the only clock in the room is on telephone. Read more
