Review summary

The Oasis of the Seas is an incredible ship. Obviously the size is beyond anything on the seas today! The multiple pools were great as there never was a problem getting a pool chair as on previous cruises. They really upgraded the bedding on this one too - very comfy!. The ability to sign up for most everything online prior to going on the cruise is great too as we did not have to run around when we got on board to do all that - unpack and enjoy! As always there was food everywhere and at all times. The jogging track on the 5th deck was "interesting" - it was great to keep the hot sun off you when it was on the top deck but was like a sauna when the weather was rainy and humidity was high. We are already booked on the Allure (sister ship to the Oasis) for May 2011. We love the quality and personnel on the Royal Carribean Cruise Line!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The main dining room food was as always excellent - I will say the lobster tails we had on the Captain's dinner were by far the largest and best we ever had on the ships! The Windjammer had great variety but was just a "buffet".

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The multiple pools were awesome! The Zip line was fun but too short!. The Flow Rider looked like fun but the wait was way too long.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our waiter and assistant waiter were great once we told them how we liked our service provided. The staff in the Windjammer were not as up to par as previous cruised. Our cabin person was great - there when we needed her but not a pest!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

It is a new ship so of course everything is shiny and spotless!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The bedding was great!! Bathroom was small as always but did have a lot better storage areas.
