1-10 of 26 Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas Cruise Reviews for Senior Cruises to the Transatlantic
This review covers the 12 nighter Southampton to Fort Lauderdale transatlantic cruise, along with the following back-to-back 5 nighter to Nassau and Cozumel. We booked a year ago as we wanted to experience the novelty of this one-off cruise departing from home waters on 'the biggest cruise ship in the world'.
Oasis usually operates 7 night cruises from Fort Lauderdale to the sunny Caribbean week ...
It has been two weeks since disembarkation from the Oasis WBTA, and I still believe it was the "Worst! Cruise! Ever!" From a nightmare embarkation to crowds and noise and lines all over the ship, this cruise was a waste of 12 days.
Before we even left for the cruise, I was afraid that it would not be what we are used to. On Oasis, you have to book your shows before you board. The IT department ...
I booked this cruise as I wanted to experience Oasis but wasn't that impressed with her Caribbean itinerary she was coming to Europe and we enjoyed our last transatlantic so we went for it.
EMBARKATION : Got there at 12:30 queues where huge so we dropped our luggage and went into Southampton for lunch we went back at 4:30 walked straight on and went to our cabin.
CABIN: Loved it loved it there ...
Firstly we boarded at Southampton we were sent e-mails confirming our boarding time and asked to acknowledge that we had received this. When we arrived at the port there was a massive crowd and the doors had not been opened to let people in. We waited 2:15 hours with people pushing and shoving and then the rain started. No officials from RCI or the port gave any information at all no definitive ...
We booked the cruise 18 months ago as the termination of an extended holiday in England and were looking forward to a great cruise experience as an opportunity to unwind. Frankly, we were neither delighted or satisfied, in fact we were extremely disappointed with this cruise. Note: We have made 17 cruises (5 RCCL).
Some positive notes to begin with: Our Cabin Steward Imade Semarajaya was ...
The whole cruise was a disaster. Boarding 2 hours being crushed in Southampton. Disembarkation 3 hours in a queue at Fort Lauderdale. Ship is beautiful, but badly designed for poor weather. Nothing to do for 10 out of 12 days. Couldn't get into many shows, our designated dining table full of other people, food not hot, wine extortionate, spa a joke - 30 places for 6000 guests so couldn't buy the ...
We are experienced cruisers with this being our 15th overall, 4th on Royal Caribbean. Signed on the day this became available as this was a unique opportunity to experience Oasis OTS for 12 days and an Atlantic crossing.
Booked air travel Phoenix-Heathrow through ChoiceAir. Better pricing than airlines and other searches. We arrived in London three days prior to the cruise and enjoyed a wonderful ...
We had three reasons for booking this cruise as soon as it became available. First, it was to be a long-awaited reunion cruise for some of us who had sailed on the Liberty TA in April, 2012. Second, we had always wanted to go to Vigo since my husband’s grandparents came from that part of Spain and it would be a historical and emotional visit or us. Third, we love the Oasis, having sailed on her ...
This was beyond a doubt the worst cruise we have ever taken. Mob mentality existed from before we got on in Southampton until we went through immigration in Fort Lauderdale. RCCL had absoultely no control over those standing in line and we stood in many lines. I can't even call them lines since it usually was a very large group of people pushing and shoving to get in a door to something, the ...
Deliver the benefits promised for Crown & Anchor Society status. As a Diamond Plus member I resent the abscence of a Concierge Lounge on the Oasis of the Seas from 14 Oct 2014 thru 27 Oct 2014 and a priority boarding line in Rotterdam. The 84 seats provided in the Diamond Lounge on Oasis OTS could hardly service the more than 2,000 Diamond and above passengers. Improve boarding and disembarkation ...
