We decided to start doing a Christmas Cruise in 2020 because our son was going to college and he and our daughter no longer had the same schedule. Our 2020 plans on the Carnival Mardi Gras were thwarted: thank you Covid!. For Christmas 2021, we were booked on the Carnival Horizon. Two weeks out, we find out our cruise was canceled due to propulsion issues. Carnival brought 2 older ships out of dry ...
I find that all 4 Oasis class ships are mostly cookie cutter copies with minor differences. My favorite ships to cruise on. I've been on the Oasis a few times, and love it, except for their Broadway show, Cats. They would do better with something more lively, like Jersey Boys. I cruised the Symphony just the month before, and found the staff there more congenial. The only glitch I had on the ...
This was a spur of the moment cruise, a pre-christmas gift that my significant other and myself wanted to share. We did purchase the "key" The key is similar to a fast pass at major parks. It allowed us to bypass the line, get escorted to a very nice lunch and also provided us with wifi.
The ship itself was amazing. It is definitely filled with plenty to do from zip lining to mini golf. It is ...
Long time cruiser here. Sailed on Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian and Holland America. However, this is my first time to be on a ship like this and wow! I was just blown away daily by how amazing it was. Just to walk around on this amazing vessel was an experience. The promenade feels more like a shopping mall than a ship, and Central Park is just like nothing else you have ever seen on a ...
First of all, a shoutout to the wonderful crew of the Oasis of the Seas. You are magnificent, providing excellent service and always smiling under the mask, that you are unfortunately forced to wear even outside on deck.
Embarkation started off a bit chaotic, as nobody knew where to queue for their time slot. But that was cleared up by RCL's port personnel pretty quickly and they started to ...
My wife and I along with 3 family members took a post-Thanksgiving cruise on the Oasis of the Seas out of Miami in Nov 2021. We are in our mid-60’s and this is our 11th Royal Caribbean cruise and 28th overall. Also our 5th cruise on an Oasis-class megaship. As this is one of their first cruises from Miami after Covid, I’ll make it somewhat detailed. Overall we really enjoyed this cruise and ...
Mid 40’s couple. 12th cruise with Royal. My husband is in cancer remission so, we were nervous about Covid. You have be fully vaccinated ages 12 and up. So, we ended up feeling more protected on ship vs on land. Masks are required inside and there are many hand washing stations & antibacterial pumps.
Check in was a little hectic as many people arrived before there scheduled time. There are ...
After 19 months, it was GREAT to be back on a ship.
Pre-cruise: You were required to upload your vax card AND get a test within 2 days of departure. You will receive an email from Royal with your testing options.
The long check-in process: I've cruised from Cape Liberty many times. Short line for luggage drop-off, and then WOW! The line to get into the terminal was longer ...
WOW! WAY TO GO ROYAL! I just returned from the 7 night Oasis sailing from NJ with a group of 5. All members of my party LOVED this cruise and believe it was one of the best we've been on (averaging over 12 cruises each).
Embarkation/disembarkation -
Very easy process, you must have your vaccine card, passport, and negative covid test. These documents are checked MULTIPLE times for ...
About the Reviewer: I’m in my late 30s and sailed on the Oasis of the Seas solo on the October 10th to October 17, 2021 cruise. This was my 48th overall cruise and my fifth with Royal Caribbean. I booked under an amazing solos rate for a balcony room. This ship was chosen due to its size and the lower passenger counts and amount of fresh air venues within the ship. Over half my sailings have been ...
