I sailed Oasis of the Seas for 7 nights last week. The ship left from Miami on 1-21 and returned on 1-28. Overall the cruise was fine but I couldn't help but leaving disappointed. I sailed Oasis years ago when it was new and the largest ship in the world. A couple of years later I sailed on the sister ship, Allure of the Seas. Both ships were outstanding back then. It's hard to believe that ...
The best cruise we’ve ever been on was a 2011 family Christmas cruise on Freedom of the Seas. Every other one we’ve gone on since then, whether on Carnival or Royal, hasn’t lived up to that high standard, and things are moving consistently in the wrong direction. This sailing on Oasis did nothing to turn that trend around.
Carnival has the reputation for nickel-and-diming their way through ...
This was certainly not one of the better cruises we have taken on Royal Caribbean. We flew to Ft. Lauderdale on Sunday, 11/12/23 and got on the Royal Caribbean shuttle to Miami. We were a quarter mile from the Royal Caribbean terminal and the bus broke down on the highway. After sitting in the hot bus for an hour we transferred to another bus and was shuttled to the terminal. By this time most ...
We booked this cruise because we've enjoyed our cruises on similar class ships--especially Allure, then Harmony. Also, we booked well in advance and got a reasonable price. Wanted something that cruised out of Miami or Ft. Lauderdale.
First, for the PRO'S:
1)The ship has an impressive look with the beautiful Central Park and fun Boardwalk.
2)This ship offered Pickleball every ...
It's been 9 years since our last cruise and we booked this cruise sort of last minute. We were limited to one set of dates so I looked at a few different vacation options and ultimately opted for this cruise because I found a good deal on a balcony room - which we've never had before. I was also excited because this would be the largest ship we ever cruised on and never cruised on an "Oasis" class ...
This was my 25th cruise but my first on a ship this large. There was more diversity among the passengers on this ship then anything I’ve even seen. We saw people from all over the world, heard more languages, more gay couples and really large people then I’ve even seen in one place before. We were told that there were 6200 passengers onboard and many times we found ourselves in very crowded ...
I open my big yap and told the wife I wanted to take a cruise on one of them huge boats. I don’t remember the name.. Stupendous of the Briny, or something like that.
After six months of bank account draining payments, I find myself boarding a ship about the size of Kansas.
Now the one that we're on is the one that has the central park in the center (of course) and a water show at the ...
We have been on many lines for many years (1994 first cruise on Sovereign) Celebrity and RCCL have been our favorites. We missed cruising tremendously so booked several when things reopened. Oct 2021 Allure, Nov 2021 Independence and just now finished a 4 night on Oasis. You can look up my review on Allure and see what a great time we had. Things on this trip, not so much. We have a Princess ...
This was my second post-Covid cruise after a great week on Harmony in the Med in September. I was definitely spoilt with ~30% capacity back then as Oasis was at around 80% for this sailing and there was a very noticeable difference.
I booked this cruise almost 2 years prior to sailing as it was to celebrate a big birthday. Got a decent deal on a Crown Loft Suite, having previously sailed in a ...
Ok, I should have known better - Spring Break and we were travelling with Extended Family including two kids 4 & 5. Ship was crowded but at least everything seemed to be online and working. Loved (as always on the Oasis Class ships) the Aqua Shows and the ICe Shows. Stage shows and headliners were ok. Ship was clean but not spotless (too many kids?) Thank goodness for the sanctuary of the ...
