Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas Cruise Reviews for Senior to the Caribbean from Bayonne (Cape Liberty)

I was looking forward to sailing on Oasis because I haven't sailed on RCI since Anthem in Oct. 2019 and I hate to admit it but it was rather disappointing. Embarkation - Smooth as silk. Walked into terminal, scanned boarding pass , walked onto ship. Whole process took about 5 minutes Cabin - We had a cabin overlooking Central Park on Deck 11 and it was very good. Heard jazz music ...

I have never sailed on an Oasis class ship. So we choose this ship for that experience and also it was sailing out of Bayonne, N.J. Which is only an hour and a half ride for us. Embarkment and departure from the ship was so easy and quick. No waiting in line, straight in, sea pass was scanned from phone, off to x-ray, sent to counter with no one ahead of us .. sea pass scanned again and ...

This is my 27th review for Cruise Critic. Unlike some reviewers that join this group just to complain about a bad experience, I have, for the past 10+ years felt obliged to write about my cruise experiences. I am a professional writer in another life which tends to make my reviews long and thorough. If you want to know simply if we liked our time on the Oasis, just count the stars. If you want to ...

This is our 5th cruise with Royal Caribbean and I felt, the worst. We booked a September cruise because we believed there would not be as many children on the ship since school had recently begun. We were wrong. There were so many children, young and teens, on this cruise that it made it overly crowded(I heard the ship was at full capacity). Fortunately, the Oasis is a very large ship, so I was ...

I am back from a cruise (8/27-9/3-2023)Staff was outstanding. Food was great. The French restaurant we went twice and once to Chops and rest of nights we ate in dining room. Johnny Rockets breakfast was wonderful. Shows CATS was slow but fun . Frozen show was fun but Aqua 80s was best even though it was short was because of the ship rocking and pool water. Comedy shows funny. Bingo was fun I ...

Just returned from Oasis of the Seas which was my 7th cruise on 4 different lines. I regret to say that it was NOT the best experience! The ship is very nice as was the staff. The food was mediocre at best. Very bland/tasteless for the most part. We actually started eating at the windjammer in an effort to find SOMETHING that taste good. We had SOME success at the Asian food station ...

The Good: Unbelievably attentive staff. Everyone from Royal Caribbean will go out of their way to accommodate any concerns you may have. Conceptually, the Boardwalk, Central Park, and Royal Promenade areas should mesh and work well. They do not. The Aqua80 show was memorable. The steak I devoured at 150 Central Park was amazing! The Bad: Jam 6,500+ people onto a ship and what do you get? ...

We have been on the Oasis four times. Unfortunately this time had some issues. First, kids all over the ship running around like crazy and hogging the elevators. The main pools had to be drained and cleaned a few times because of "accidents" found in the pool. The positives were the service, which was excellent in the suite lounge and coastal kitchen. The concierges were great as was the ...

I quit. Cruisin with Royal Caribbean since 1999 and am a Pinnacle level (top tier) member. In the earlier days, the RCL cruises were more classy cruises with beautiful dinners and professional staff. We fell in love and stayed loyal for years. But over the years, RCL built more ships and became money hungry. They increased room capacity on all the ships, cut back on many elements that made ...

We took this cruise out of Cape Liberty in July 2023. Awesome cruise, I really can't say enough about it. This was our first cruise on a big ship and it did not disappoint. Plenty to see and do, and my kids (15, 13, and 9) were entertained the whole time. The food was pretty good (the standard cruise cuisine that can range from good to just ok) and the service was also good. There are a ton of ...
