Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Dinners were great-the food, the service - just excellent. The service and food in other places (for free) didn't impress us so much. Stateroom Quality Room service was very good, clean and nice surprises when we returned to our cabins :). Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities Children's Programs We didn't have children with us, but so much what we saw, I can think that children would enjoy the ship a lot. 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Fabulous cruise by Jan G. from Connellsville, Pa. Sailing date: Nov 2012 Pros: Everything Cons: When it was over This was our first cruise so we did not know what to expect. We had some expectations as to what it would be like but those expectations went far and beyond what we experienced on our cruise. The Oasis of the Seas is beautiful and the service was outstanding. Everyone we came in contact with who worked on the ship were helpful, courteous, caring about us as a traveler. We will certainly book another cruise in the future.

Overall Rating: Great but crowded. by A Traveler from California Sailing date: Oct 2012 Pros: The food and entertainment was wonderful. Cons: So many people that the lines at customer service were long and some events were a crush. This is a terrific ship and this was my second cruise on it. The first cruise must have had fewer passengers because I didn't notice the long lines or the crush of people at any events. The entertainment is excellent and I enjoyed the trip despite the overcrowding.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony VIP TREATMENT FOR FIRST TIME CRUISERS by Karen C. from Houston, Texas Sailing date: Aug 2012 Pros: We loved everything about the ship! Even though the ship was at capacity, we were still able to find quiet places to relax. Cons: I really can't think of anything we did not like - it was a fabulous experience Shocked and amazed at the size of the ship as well as all the options that were available onboard. This was our first cruise and we were so overwhelmed with everything to do and all the functions that were scheduled we really did not know where to start. We smiled, non-stop for a week. Ship Details: Ship Quality The ship was beautiful! We truly felt like we were in Central Park or on a Boardwalk!! At one point when we were walking through the Promenade, I forgot I was on a ship and felt like we were in a shopping mall. Dining/Food The variety of the food was top notch for all dining options. I guess we got to the Windjammer Cafe too late (around 7:30am) because most of the baked goods were a little dried out from the heat lamps. We choose other options for breakfast and lunch. Dinner was in the formal dining room every night and the variety was marvelous! With us being from Texas, it was a little light on seasoning and grilling but overall, we enjoyed the food very much Stateroom Quality Considering the number of passengers this ship was able to carry, we felt our room was just perfect for us. There was plenty of room to sit on the couch and watch TV or lay on the bed and take a nap. The balcony was great and the size of the room was comparable to some hotels we have stayed in. We had everything we needed for a perfect vacation. Ship Staff Quality I wish there were 10 smiley faces!! The staff on the ship was absolutely fantastic!! Everyone we encountered was friendly, helpful, always smiling!! They made our vacation even better than we could have imagined!! Thank you Milton, Linda and Oscar!! Entertainment & Activities If you were bored on this ship, it was your own fault!! There was so much going on, we could not possibly see everything that was available. We laughed, A LOT and had a great time watching the passengers participate in the various competitions on board - i.e. twist competiton and belly flop! 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside Oasis - Eastern Carib - Great Cruise by MN girl from MN Sailing date: Apr 2012 Pros: The quality of staff, ship in general Cons: Casino, tips on top of tips, Extra spending everywhere This was a high quality ship with lots to offer. Don't worry about finding stuff to do on the ship - computerized tvs are everywhere & you push a button & it gives you options - from what to do & where to eat. Don't bother with casino - so little bonuses/payouts that everyone was DISGUSTED. Took fun right out of it. Sunblock spf 50 at least (SEVERE burns were very common on our cruise.) Excursions were better booked in port. Watch the time - we left a few travelers on an island... Ship Details: Ship Quality Beautiful, clean, easy to figure out Dining/Food Dining Room -We didn't have a choice about prepaid gratuities (it added it in) so we had "My time dining" which it looks like you HAVE to set up ahead of time - but you can change it - so no stress. Plus you can just walk in & usually get in. WindJammer - Good buffet. Not a 10, but probably an 8. Be careful of the extra charges "fresh squeezed orange juice" versus just orange juice... Stateroom Quality smallest room/cheapest available and it was still spacious and orderly/clean Ship Staff Quality Staff needs to be tipped - the prepaid gratuities don't go to all the people they should - so be aware, any tipping should be done directly to them and cash. Entertainment & Activities Very easy to find something quality to do Children's Programs We didnt use - Many kids - they seemed well entertained and stayed in the kids areas... 5 out of 6 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Group Stateroom Type: Balcony Super ship by A Traveler from Colorado Sailing date: Dec 2011 Pros: Lots of space, wonderful friendly staff Cons: Ports too commercialized There is so much to do on this ship. However we never felt crowded, even though there are over 6000 passengers. Super friendly staff, and the accomodations are clean and new. The entertainment was great, though you need to make reservations to get in.The ports are too commercialized in my view. The Labadee haiti stop is a 3 star beach. The Cozumel and Jamaica stops are mostly for shopping. However, if you book other excursions, you can get away from the commercialization. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Great selection, but not outstanding quality. Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality super friendly staff Entertainment & Activities Make reservations! 5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony NO other cruise tops RCCL's OASIS by James A. from Staten Island, NY Sailing date: Oct 2011 Pros: food, service, activities, shore excursions, pool, cabin, nightlife Just got back from the RCCL's Oasis of the Seas 7-day Eastern Caribbean cruise. I must say that it was a perfect vacation in almost every way. Besides the sheer size of the ship (it's the largest cruise ship in the world), every facet of the vacation was perfection. From the amazing food, the helpful and friendly staff, the wonderful activities, the amazing nightlife and activities and everything in between, I would highly recommend taking a cruise with Royal Caribbean anyday.

Loved Oasis of the Seas, sitting in Central Park in the afternoon, sipping a cool drink and looking up at the sky is breath taking. Had the most delicious dinner at Giovanni's. It's the best! Skip Chops and go there instead. We still talk about our dinner there it was that good! No problem getting a lounge chair by the pool. Getting on and off the ship was easy, not much of a wait. Royal Carribean knows how to treat you right. This is our 4th cruise and by far our best. Can't wait to go back again! Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Giovanni's is the best. If you can only do one specialty restaurant, go there. You won't be disappointed. Our waiter knew the menu and directed us to choices he knew we'd love-and he was spot on. Stateroom Quality Our room overlooked Central Park. Great location. Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities Good entertainment. Disappointing not getting times to shows that work into your schedule. However, there's always something to do and see. Read this user's port of call reviews: Cozumel, Mexico; Labadee (Cruiseline Private Island); Falmouth, Jamaica Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Cozumel, Mexico Took a Royal Carribean tour to Tulum. The site was great, very good tour but hot. It was extremely hot. I wish we booked some time on the beaches which were gorgeous. Don't Miss: The beaches at Tulum are beautiful, wish we planned to go there. Labadee (Cruiseline Private Island) Labadee was much nicer than our last visit. Easy off and on the ship. Nice visit. Don't Miss: Dragons breath. It's free and you've got to hear the dragon once in your lifetime. Falmouth, Jamaica Took at tour to Dunns River Falls with Yardley Tours. Great time. This tour company was recommended and did not disappoint. Wonderful, memorable day in Jamaica. Don't Miss: Dunns River Falls. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful.
