Review summary

Nice first time on an Oasis class ship, learned a few things we can apply for the next time. Deluxe drinks package was definitely worth the price. We will try a balcony with sea view next time, inside balcony view felt a bit cramped.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

smooth and plenty of available agents.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food was uneven as far as temp and quality. Always enjoy Windjammer slections. 150 Centra Park was the star.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Florider was closed several times for no apparent reason.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

All shows were sold out but were fantastic.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

Our 10 year old enjoyed herself. Coming off 5 years of Disney cruises thats saying a lot.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Bartenders were typically slow, room steward was invisible and just ok.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Amazing array of shops and restaurants. Everything was in good shape for a ship of this age and size.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Accessible room very basic, cabin attendant did not convert bed to couch daily so we were left a bit short on seating.

Ship tip

Make sure you have booked your dining and shows well in advance, excursions also sell out quickly.

Once you have a balcony, you'll always want one. Now I'm scoping out suites.

Going to a balcony, you are going to spoil yourself! Glad you had a nice time on the Oasis class. Enjoy your next cruise.
