Second time on Oasis, fourth overall time cruising with RC. I was a loyal customer to RC, first two times cruising were on Freedom Class ships. Went on Oasis 2 years ago and had a blast, just back from Oasis, not pleased. So I'm going to jump around I'm sure while I type this out so I apologize. Lets begin with our first stop, the beautiful RC resort of Labadee. We never got off. Unfortunately, ...
First let me say this was my first cruise so I didn't know what to expect. I am handicapped and rely on either a mobility scooter or a wheelchair with my wife pushing. Since this was my first cruise we opted for the wheelchair so that I could get off the ship in ports and enjoy the area a little.
We stayed in room 7304 which is a handicapped accessible room so they say. From the very first ...
I chose this cruise only because my sister and niece live in Texas and that made it convenient. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how wonderful everything on this cruise was. Embarkation was VERY smooth and quick. We were on the ship within 15 minutes of arriving at the port.
Our stateroom was a nice size and it was kept immaculately clean by our attendant Cy (De Guzman.) I have ...
We chose this cruise as we had been to the pacific islands on Celebrity Solstice twice and wanted some new experiences - a new cruise lin, different itinerary and different ship, hence friends recommended RCL and some friends from a prior cruise were travelling on this cruise - we are a married couple late 50s and also travelled with a friend from work, a single lady in her early 60s.
Positives ...
We choose OAS because this has always been a great ship to cruise on. Unfortunately all the great staff has been removed and sent to either Harmony or Symphony. The new menus are in effect with French onion soup added to the appetizers and now you order dessert at the same time as everything else. We did not see any improvement in speed of delivery of food by doing this. The bread is now on ...
I chose this cruise because it went to two places I had been to and wanted to return to and see a house on Grand Cayman and to go to Costa Maya...last time I was there was ten years ago and no town was there.
The embarkation and disembarkation went extremely smoothly. Not sure if it was because I was a Diamond member or that I had two Royal Suites...but it was the fastest ever boarding and ...
Royal Caribbean is the only cruise line we've sailed on over the last twenty years. This time though may change our minds. The service is always impeccable and the ship is clean. The food was just ok, and the desserts, well you might as well eat a piece of paper, they were so tasteless. They always used to have key lime pie on the last night of the cruise, but that no longer happens. RC has just ...
5 years ago I decided to try RCCL on the Jewel of the Seas, coming over from Carnival. I was total won over and was highly impressed with RCCL and JOTS. Fast forward 5 years, and my mind is blown on how much it has changed and not in a good way. I am now truly thinking about other lines. Here are the changes that have reflected my difference in opinion:
1. Staffing changes - it appeared ...
We chose RCL Oasis because we wanted to experience the large shipliner and all its amenities. The public spaces are beautiful and generally well kept. The Balcony cabins are very small compared to balcony rooms on any other ship. However our Accessible Family Balcony had everything plus more. This room rocked and made our trip expereince wonderful. At Labadee they even provide wheelchairs for ...
If you like cruises, you will love the Oasis of the Seas! This ship has everything you could want to see, eat, or do for entertainment. This ship is great for families - there is a huge open section in the middle of ship on Deck 6, called the Boardwalk, which has a Merry Go Round, video arcade, ice cream shop, Johnny Rockets, a tequila bar and Mexican restaurant. This deck ends with a huge ...
